testdouble-nock v0.2.0

testdouble-nock

Support for testdouble.js for users of Nock!

Installation

$ npm i -D testdouble-nock

Then, from a test helper, invoke the module and pass in both td and nock, like so:

global.td = require('testdouble')
global.nock = require('nock')
require('testdouble-nock')(td, nock)

We'll want to clear out our stubbings after each test, so add something like this to your test runner's beforeEach() hook:

beforeEach: function () {
  td.reset.onNextReset(() => nock.cleanAll())
},
afterEach: function () {
  td.reset() // <-- you should already be doing this!
}

For an example of a helper that sets up testdouble.js, testdouble-nock, and ensures td.reset() is called after each test, look at test/helper.js in this repo.

Usage

When you invoke testdouble-nock, it adds a new top-level td.api() function that allows you to mock an external API by exposing common HTTP methods as mocked methods. Here's an example:

describe('My API test', () => {
  it('should return a 200 for status', (done) => {
    const myApi = td.api('http://www.my-api.com')

    td.when(myApi.get('/status')).thenReturn('All good here!')

    request.get('http://www.my-api.com/status', (req, res, body) => {
      assert.equals(body, 'All good here!')

      done()
    })
  })
})

You can also verify that a call has taken place using td.verify:

describe('My API test', () => {
  it('should return a 200 for status', (done) => {
    const myApi = td.api('http://www.my-api.com')

    request.get('http://www.my-api.com/status', (req, res, body) => {
      td.verify(myApi.get('/status'))

      done()
    })
  })
})
