hapi-mock

Hapi plugin for mocking endpoints.

Install

npm install hapi-mock

Purpose

This plugin provides a simple way to mock your HAPI endpoints. It is experimental at this point of time.

Usage

Register the plugin with Hapi server like this:

const Hapi = require('@hapi/hapi');
const hapiMock = require('hapi-mock');

const server = new Hapi.Server({
  port: 3000,
});

const mock = {
  plugin: hapiMock,
  options: {
    baseDir: Path.join(__dirname, 'mocks'),
  },
};

const provision = async () => {
  await server.register([mock]);
  // ...
  await server.start();
};

provision();

Your route configuration may look like this:

server.route({
  method: 'GET',
  path: '/example',
  options: {
    plugins: {
      'hapi-mock': { // activate mocking for this endpoint
        file: './cases', // JS module relative to `baseDir`
      },
    },
  },
  handler: function (request, h) {
    // ...
  }
});

The file option refers to a JS module (e.g., cases.js) containing your mock cases, e.g.,

module.exports = [{
  condition: "params.id == '4711'",
  code: 418,
}];

condition may refer to HAPI's route parameters headers, params, query, payload, method, and path. The result parameters of a mock case can be code, type, and body.

And finally, you need to set the HTTP header x-hapi-mock: true to a request to have a route use mocking rather than its real handler implementation.

You don't want to use this plug-in in production, of course. Experimental. Have fun.
