Fake CouchDB Testing Tool

A fake CouchDB server for testing.

Disclaimer: This is a fake CouchDB server which implements endpoints used in common applications. It does not claim to be use as a regular CouchDB server. It uses some static data as result for some database requests.

Install

npm install -D fakecouch

Usage

const supertest = require('supertest');
const FakeCouchServer = require('fakecouch');

const couch = new FakeCouchServer({
  port: 5984,
  logger: false,
});

const api = supertest('<endpoint of my awesome API server>');

describe('My Awesome API Tests', () => {
  beforeAll(() => {
    couch.setup();
    couch.authenticate();
  });

  afterAll(() => couch.reset());

  it('HEAD /api/awesome/resource', () => {
    return api.head('/api/awesome/resource').expect(404)
      .then(() => api.put('/api/awesome/resource').expect(201))
      .then(() => api.head('/api/awesome/resource').expect(200));
  });
});

Enable CORS using options.headers

const FakeCouchServer = require('fakecouch');

const couch = new FakeCouchServer({
  port: 5984,
  logger: false,
  headers: {
    'Access-Control-Allow-Origin': '*',
    'Access-Control-Allow-Headers': 'Origin, X-Requested-With, Content-Type, Accept',
  },
});
