parrot-core

parrot-core abstracts the matching, logging, and resolving functionality of Parrot away from each implementation. parrot-middleware and parrot-fetch use parrot-core and any new implementations could extend parrot-core in a similar way.

Example Implementation

import Parrot from 'parrot-core';

class ParrotNew extends Parrot {
  constructor(scenarios) {
    super(scenarios);
    // any constructor logic that is needed
  }

  normalizeRequest = request => {
    // conform incoming requests to match the scenarios structure
  };

  resolver = request => response => {
    // resolve the matched response to the implementation platform
  };
}

export default ParrotNew;
