@types/nock

What is @types/nock?

@types/nock provides TypeScript type definitions for the nock library, which is used for HTTP mocking and expectations in Node.js applications.

What are @types/nock's main functionalities?

Mocking HTTP Requests

This feature allows you to mock HTTP GET requests to a specified URL and return a predefined response. In this example, a GET request to 'http://example.com/resource' will return a 200 status code with a JSON body.

const nock = require('nock');
const scope = nock('http://example.com')
  .get('/resource')
  .reply(200, { id: 1, name: 'Resource' });

Intercepting and Modifying Requests

This feature allows you to intercept HTTP POST requests with a specific request body and return a predefined response. In this example, a POST request to 'http://example.com/resource' with a JSON body will return a 201 status code with a JSON response.

const nock = require('nock');
const scope = nock('http://example.com')
  .post('/resource', { name: 'New Resource' })
  .reply(201, { id: 2, name: 'New Resource' });

Simulating Network Errors

This feature allows you to simulate network errors for HTTP requests. In this example, a GET request to 'http://example.com/resource' will result in a network error.

const nock = require('nock');
const scope = nock('http://example.com')
  .get('/resource')
  .replyWithError('Network error');

Delay Responses

This feature allows you to introduce a delay before sending the response. In this example, a GET request to 'http://example.com/resource' will be delayed by 2000 milliseconds before returning a 200 status code with a JSON body.

const nock = require('nock');
const scope = nock('http://example.com')
  .get('/resource')
  .delay(2000)
  .reply(200, { id: 1, name: 'Resource' });

Other packages similar to @types/nock

axios-mock-adapter

axios-mock-adapter is a library that allows you to easily mock requests made with axios. It provides a simple API for intercepting requests and returning custom responses. Compared to nock, axios-mock-adapter is specifically designed for axios and may be easier to use if you are already using axios in your project.

fetch-mock

fetch-mock is a library for mocking fetch requests. It provides a flexible API for intercepting fetch requests and returning custom responses. Compared to nock, fetch-mock is specifically designed for the Fetch API and is a good choice if you are using fetch for HTTP requests in your project.

supertest

supertest is a library for testing HTTP servers. It provides a high-level API for making HTTP requests and asserting responses. While supertest is not specifically designed for mocking, it can be used to test HTTP endpoints in a similar way to nock. It is a good choice if you are looking for a more comprehensive testing solution that includes HTTP request testing.

This is a stub types definition for nock (https://github.com/nock/nock).

nock provides its own type definitions, so you don't need @types/nock installed!
