An HTTP mocking server based on Nock.
Hock is an HTTP mocking server with an API designed to closely match that of Nock. The key difference between Nock and Hock is that nock works by overriding http.clientRequest, allowing requests to be intercepted before they go over the wire.
Hock is designed as a fully functioning HTTP service. You enqueue requests and responses in a similar fashion to Nock:
var http = require('http'),
hock = require('hock'),
request = require('request');
var mock = hock.createHock();
mock
.get('/some/url')
.reply(200, 'Hello!');
var server = http.createServer(mock.handler);
server.listen(1337, function () {
request('http://localhost:' + 1337 + '/some/url', function(err, res, body) {
console.log(body);
});
});Hock supports the 5 primary HTTP methods at this time:
- GET
- POST
- PUT
- PATCH
- DELETE
- HEAD
- COPY
// Returns a hock Request object
var req = hockServer.get(url, requestHeaders); // Returns a hock Request object
var req = hockServer.delete(url, requestHeaders); // Returns a hock Request object
var req = hockServer.post(url, body, requestHeaders); // Returns a hock Request object
var req = hockServer.put(url, body, requestHeaders); // Returns a hock Request object
var req = hockServer.head(url, requestHeaders);All of these methods return an instance of a Request, a hock object which contains all of the state for a mocked request. To define the response and enqueue into the hockServer, call either reply or replyWithFile on the Request object:
// returns the current hockServer instance
req.reply(statusCode, body, responseHeaders); // returns the current hockServer instance
req.replyWithFile(statusCode, filePath, responseHeaders);You can optionally send a ReadableStream with reply, for example testing with large responses without having to use a file on disk:
// returns the current hockServer instance
req.reply(statusCode, new RandomStream(10000), responseHeaders);You can optionally tell hock to match multiple requests for the same route:
hockServer.put('/path/one', {
foo: 1,
bar: {
baz: true
biz: 'asdf1234'
}
})
.min(4)
.max(10)
.reply(202, {
status: 'OK'
})Call many if you need to handle at least one, possibly
many requests:
hockServer.put('/path/one', {
foo: 1,
bar: {
baz: true
biz: 'asdf1234'
}
})
.many() // min 1, max Unlimited
.reply(202, {
status: 'OK'
})Provide custom min and max options to many:
hockServer.put('/path/one', {
foo: 1,
bar: {
baz: true
biz: 'asdf1234'
}
})
.many({
min: 4,
max: 10
})
.reply(202, {
status: 'OK'
})Set infinite number of requests with max(Infinity):
hockServer.put('/path/one', {
foo: 1,
bar: {
baz: true
biz: 'asdf1234'
}
})
.max(Infinity)
.reply(202, {
status: 'OK'
})If you don't care how many or how few requests are served, you can use any:
hockServer.put('/path/one', {
foo: 1,
bar: {
baz: true
biz: 'asdf1234'
}
})
.any() // equivalent to min(0), max(Infinity)
.reply(202, {
status: 'OK'
})hockServer.done() will verify the number of requests fits within the
minimum and maximum constraints specified by min, max, many or any:
hockServer.get('/').min(2)
request.get('/', function() {
hockServer.done(function(err) {
console.error(err) // error, only made one request
})
})If the number of requests doesn't verify and you don't supply a callback
to hockServer.done() it will throw!
As the reply and replyWithFile methods return the current hockServer, you can chain them together:
hockServer.put('/path/one', {
foo: 1,
bar: {
baz: true
biz: 'asdf1234'
}
})
.reply(202, {
status: 'OK'
})
.get('/my/file/should/be/here')
.replyWithFile(200, __dirname + '/foo.jpg');When a request comes in, hock iterates through the queue in a First-in-first-out approach, so long as the request matches. The criteria for matching is based on the method and the url, and additionally the request body if the request is a PUT, PATCH, or POST. If you specify request headers, they will also be matched against before sending the response.
You can filter paths using regex or a custom function, this is useful for things like timestamps that get appended to urls from clients.
hockServer
.filteringPathRegEx(/timestamp=[^&]*/g, 'timestamp=123')
.get('/url?timestamp=123')
.reply(200, 'Hi!'); hockServer
.filteringPath(function (p) {
return '/url?timestamp=XXX';
})
.get('/url?timestamp=XXX')
.reply(200, 'Hi!');
