Test

Point requests to your dummy server

To avoid sending requests to real Messenger server, specify origin option when constructing your client:

const { MessengerClient } = require('messaging-api-messenger');

const client = MessengerClient.connect({
  accessToken: ACCESS_TOKEN,
  origin: 'https://mydummytestserver.com',
});

Warning: Don't do this on production server.

Manual Mock with Jest

create __mocks__/messaging-api-messenger.js in your project root:

// __mocks__/messaging-api-messenger.js
const jestMock = require('jest-mock');
const {
  Messenger,
  MessengerBatch,
  MessengerBroadcast,
  MessengerClient,
} = require.requireActual('messaging-api-messenger');

module.exports = {
  Messenger,
  MessengerBatch,
  MessengerBroadcast,
  MessengerClient: {
    connect: jest.fn(() => {
      const Mock = jestMock.generateFromMetadata(
        jestMock.getMetadata(MessengerClient)
      );
      return new Mock();
    }),
  },
};

Then, mock messaging-api-messenger package in your tests:

// __tests__/mytest.spec.js
jest.mock('messaging-api-messenger');
