SIMPLE WIREMOCK

Summary

This project was created to help with tests mocking Rest API from Backend.

Instructions to setup the project

To use the package you need execute the command:

npm i -D simple-wiremock

Importing and using it

After installed the package, above following the slice example code:

• Example in Typescript:

import { SimpleWiremock } from 'simple-wiremock'

const should = require('should');
const request = require('request');

describe('TestComponent', () => {
    let simpleWiremock: SimpleWiremock;

    beforeAll(() => {
        simpleWiremock = new SimpleWiremock().start();
        simpleWiremock.get('/users/1', {
            status: 200,
            headers: { 'Content-Type': 'applications/json' },
            body: {
                name: 'Austin Power',
                age: 40
            }
        });
    });

    it('Should simple request get for users by id', () => {
        request('http://localhost:5001/users/1', (err, res, body) =>{
            should.not.exist(err);
            should.exist(res);
            JSON.parse(body).should.containDeep({ name: 'Austin Power', age: 40 });
            done();
        });
    });

    afterAll(() => {
        simpleWiremock.stop();
    });
});

• Example in Javascript:

const sw = require('simple-wiremock');
const should = require('should');
const request = require('request');

let simpleWiremock = new sw.SimpleWiremock().start();

simpleWiremock.get('/users/1', {
    status: 200,
    headers: { 'Content-Type': 'applications/json' },
    body: {
        name: 'Austin Power',
        age: 40
    }
});

request('http://localhost:5001/users/1', (err, res, body) =>{
    should.not.exist(err);
    should.exist(res);
    JSON.parse(body).should.containDeep({ name: 'Austin Power', age: 40 });
    simpleWiremock.stop();
});

By default SimpleWiremock stay listening at port 5001

This SimpleWiremock has following methods: [ GET (simpleWiremock.get(url, object)), POST (simpleWiremock.post(url, object)), PUT (simpleWiremock.put(url, object)), PATCH (simpleWiremock.patch(url, object)), OPTIONS (simpleWiremock.options(url, object)), HEAD (simpleWiremock.head(url, object)) DELETE (simpleWiremock.delete(url, object)) ]

The example object response used to response:

    {
        status: number,
        headers: { '<Key>': 'value' },
        body: your object response.
    }

body accept a object and list.

Example mock returning a list:

simpleWiremock.get('/users', {
    status: 200,
    headers: { 'Content-Type': 'applications/json' },
    body: [
        {
            name: 'Austin Power',
            age: 40
        },
        {
            name: 'Ana Clara',
            age: 28
        }
    ]
});

Example with another http methods

• Using HTTP POST

simpleWiremock.post('/users', {
    status: 201,
    headers: { 'Content-Type': 'applications/json' },
    body:{
        name: 'Austin Power',
        age: 40
    }
});

• Using HTTP PATCH

simpleWiremock.patch('/users', {
    status: 202,
    headers: { 'Content-Type': 'applications/json' },
    body:{
        name: 'Austin Power',
        age: 40
    }
});

• Using HTTP DELETE

simpleWiremock.delete('/users/1', {
    status: 202,
    headers: { 'Content-Type': 'applications/json' },
    body:{}
});

• Using HTTP OPTIONS

simpleWiremock.options('/users/1', {
    status: 204,
    headers: {},
    body:{}
});

When We don't send the headers, the SimpleWiremock always return Content-Type = application/json.

How to start the SimpleWiremock in specific port?

    
    beforeAll(() => {
        simpleWiremock = new SimpleWiremock().setPort(5002).start();
        simpleWiremock.get('/users/1', {
            status: 200,
            headers: { 'Content-Type': 'applications/json' },
            body: {
                name: 'Austin Power',
                age: 40
            }
        });
    });

OBS: We always need to stop the server after our tests.
