shot

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).

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.
