> Creates a minimal express server for testing

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/lukechilds/create-test-server.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/lukechilds/create-test-server)

[![Coverage Status](https://coveralls.io/repos/github/lukechilds/create-test-server/badge.svg?branch=master)](https://coveralls.io/github/lukechilds/create-test-server?branch=master)

[![npm](https://img.shields.io/npm/v/create-test-server.svg)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/create-test-server)

Inspired by the `createServer()` helper function in the [Got tests](https://github.com/sindresorhus/got/blob/1f1b6ffb6da13f483ef7f6bd92dd33f022e7de47/test/helpers/server.js).

A simple interface for creating a preconfigured express instance listening for both HTTP and HTTPS traffic.

Ports are chosen at random for HTTP/HTTPS. A self signed certificate is automatically generated, along with an associated CA certificate for you to validate against.

npm install --save-dev create-test-server

const createTestServer = require('create-test-server');

  // You could use any express middleware too

  // server.url + '/foo' and server.sslUrl + '/foo' will respond with 'bar'

`createTestServer()` has a Promise based API that pairs well with a modern asynchronous test runner such as [AVA](https://github.com/avajs/ava).

You can create a separate server per test:

import createTestServer from 'create-test-server';

  const server = await createTestServer();

  server.get('/foo', (req, res) => res.send('bar'));

  const response = await got(`${server.url}/foo`);

You can also make properly authenticated SSL requests by setting a common name for the server certificate and validating against the provided CA certificate:

  const server = await createTestServer({ certificate: 'foobar.com' });

  const response = await got(`${server.sslUrl}/foo`, {

You can still make an SSL connection without messing about with certificates if your client supports unauthorised SSL requests:

You can also easily stop/restart the server. Notice how a new port is used when we listen again:

Returns a Promise which resolves to an (already listening) server.

SSL certificate options to be passed to [`createCert()`](https://github.com/lukechilds/create-cert).

express instance resolved from `createTestServer()`

This is just a normal express instance with a few extra properties.

The url you can reach the HTTP server on.

`undefined` while the server is not listening.

The url you can reach the HTTPS server on.

The CA certificate to validate the server certificate against.

The CA certificate to validate the server certificate against.˜

Returns a Promise that resolves when both the HTTP and HTTPS servers are listening.

Once the servers are listening, `server.url` and `server.sslUrl` will be updated.

Please note, this function doesn't take a port argument, it uses a new randomised port each time. Also, you don't need to manually call this after creating a server, it will start listening automatically.

Returns a Promise that resolves when both the HTTP and HTTPS servers have stopped listening.

Once the servers have stopped listening, `server.url` and `server.sslUrl` will be set to `undefined`.
