Express Recorder

This module will pass fakes to your middleware which you can assert.

Example

var recorder = require('express-recorder');

// Middleware 

var middleware = function (req, res, next) {
  res.locals.username = req.body.firstname + ' ' + res.locals.lastname;
  next();
};

// Setup state

var body = { firstname: 'Geert' };
var locals = { lastname: 'Pasteels' }; 

recorder(middleware, { body: body, locals: locals }, function (result) {

  result.eql({
    next: true,
    locals: { lastname: 'Pasteels', username: 'Geert Pasteels' }
  });

});

State options

• body
• locals
• session
• params
• query
• cookies
• headers
• request

The 'request' option is used to add properties to the request object.

recorder(middleware, { request: { missing: 'MIA' } }, function (result) {
  //assert
});

Result object

The result object has the following properties for asserting.

• render
• redirect
• send
• json
• next
• header
• cookie
• locals

It also has a handy eql method that shows the difference between the result object and your expected object.
