mockrequest

node-mockrequest

A mock version of the request module for use in tests. It "plays back" a sequence of request/response pairs that you specify up front.

Usage

var MockRequest = require('mockrequest'),
    request = new MockRequest({
        request: {
            method: 'GET',
            url: '/foo'
        },
        response: {
            headers: {
                'Content-Type': 'text/html'
            },
            body: '<p>Hello!</p>'
        }
    });
 
request.get('/foo', function (err, response, body) {
    // response.statusCode === 200
    // response.headers['content-type'] === 'text/html'
    // body === '<p>Hello!</p>'
});

Requests can be specified either as a string (interpreted as a url with an optional method before it) or an object, which can have method, url, headers, and body properties. The request body can be provided as either a string or a Buffer instance.

Responses can be specified as either a number (status code), a string or Buffer (the body), or an object with headers, statusCode, and body properties. The response body can be specified as either a string, a Buffer instance. Support for readable streams is being worked on.

For your convenience, request and response headers can be specified in any casing. They will be normalized to the lower-case form.
