shot

Injects a fake HTTP request/response into a node HTTP server for simulating server logic, writing tests, or debugging. Does not use a socket connection so can be run against an inactive server (server not in listen mode).

Lead Maintainer: Matt Harrison

Example

// Load modules

const Http = require('http');
const Shot = require('shot');


// Declare internals

const internals = {};


internals.main = function () {

    const dispatch = function (req, res) {

        const reply = 'Hello World';
        res.writeHead(200, { 'Content-Type': 'text/plain', 'Content-Length': reply.length });
        res.end(reply);
    };

    const server = Http.createServer(dispatch);

    Shot.inject(dispatch, { method: 'get', url: '/' }, (res) => {

        console.log(res.payload);
    });
};


internals.main();

Note how server.listen is never called.
