[![Gitter chat][gitter-badge]][gitter-url]
Mock 'http' objects for testing [Express][express-url]
routing functions, but could be used for testing any
[Node.js][node-url] web server applications that have
code that requires mockups of the `request` and `response` objects.
## Installation
This project is available as a
[NPM package][npm-url].
```bash
$ npm install --save-dev node-mocks-http
```
> Our example includes `--save-dev` based on the assumption that **node-mocks-http** will be used as a development dependency..
After installing the package include the following in your test files:
```js
var httpMocks = require('node-mocks-http');
```
## Usage
Suppose you have the following Express route:
```js
app.get('/user/:id', routeHandler);
```
And you have created a function to handle that route's call:
```js
var routeHandler = function( request, response ) { ... };
```
You can easily test the `routeHandler` function with some code like
this using the testing framework of your choice:
```js
exports['routeHandler - Simple testing'] = function(test) {
var request = httpMocks.createRequest({
method: 'GET',
url: '/user/42',
params: {
id: 42
}
});
var response = httpMocks.createResponse();
routeHandler(request, response);
var data = JSON.parse( response._getData() );
test.equal("Bob Dog", data.name);
test.equal(42, data.age);
test.equal("bob@dog.com", data.email);
test.equal(200, response.statusCode );
test.ok( response._isEndCalled());
test.ok( response._isJSON());
test.ok( response._isUTF8());
test.done();
};
```
## API
### .createRequest()
```
httpMocks.createRequest(options)
```
Where options is an object hash with any of the following values:
option | description | default value
------ | ----------- | -------------
`method`| request HTTP method | 'GET'
`url` | request URL | ''
`originalUrl` | request original URL | `url`
`path` | request path | ''
`params` | object hash with params | {}
`session` | object hash with session values | `undefined`
`cookies` | object hash with request cookies | {}
`signedCookies` | object hash with signed cookies | `undefined`
`headers` | object hash with request headers | {}
`body` | object hash with body | {}
`query` | object hash with query values | {}
`files` | object hash with values | {}
### .createResponse()
```js
httpMocks.createResponse(options)
```
Where options is an object hash with any of the following values:
option | description | default value
------ | ----------- | -------------
`eventEmitter` | event emitter used by `response` object | `mockEventEmitter`
`writableStream` | writable stream used by `response` object | `mockWritableStream`
> NOTE: The out-of-the-box mock event emitter included with `node-mocks-http` is
not a functional event emitter and as such does not actually emit events. If you
wish to test your event handlers you will need to bring your own event emitter.
> Here's an example:
```js
var httpMocks = require('node-mocks-http');
var res = httpMocks.createResponse({
eventEmitter: require('events').EventEmitter
});
// ...
it('should do something', function(done) {
res.on('end', function() {
assert.equal(...);
done();
});
});
// ...
```
## Design Decisions
We wanted some simple mocks without a large framework.
We also wanted the mocks to act like the original framework being
mocked, but allow for setting of values before calling and inspecting
of values after calling.
## For Developers
We are looking for more volunteers to bring value to this project,
including the creation of more objects from the
[HTTP module][node-http-module-url].
This project doesn't address all features that must be
mocked, but it is a good start. Feel free to send pull requests,
and a member of the team will be timely in merging them.
If you wish to contribute please read our [Contributing Guidelines](CONTRIBUTING.md).
## Release Notes
Most releases fix bugs with our mocks or add features similar to the
actual `Request` and `Response` objects offered by Node.js and extended
by Express.
