http-post-automater

Automate http post requests

This is my first npm package so please be kind :)

Installation

npm install http-post-automater

Usage

var automate = require("http-post-automater");

You must define certain properties to start the tests:

• Number of tests to be performed
• Delay between tests (minimum 1 second)
• Endpoint to post data to
• Data you require to post
• The parts of the data that will be modified (if at all)

var options = {
  number: 10,
  delay: 1
  endpoint: "http://api.co.uk"
  data: {
    name: "John Smith"
  }
}

automate.start(options)

You can also add a numerical identifier to each property in your data. This will simply increment a number in place of this placeholder. This means you can post different data for each test.

var options = {
  number: 3,
  delay: 1,
  endpoint: "http://api.co.uk",
  data: {
    email: "<% numerical %>@gmail.com"
  }
}

automate.start(options)
