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
```javascript
const http = require('node:http')
const inject = require('light-my-request')
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)
inject(dispatch, { method: 'get', url: '/' }, (err, res) => {
console.log(res.payload)
})
```
Note how `server.listen` is never called.
Async await and promises are supported as well!
```javascript
// promises
inject(dispatch, { method: 'get', url: '/' })
.then(res => console.log(res.payload))
.catch(console.log)
// async-await
try {
const res = await inject(dispatch, { method: 'get', url: '/' })
console.log(res.payload)
} catch (err) {
console.log(err)
}
```
You can also use chaining methods if you do not pass the callback function. Check [here](#method-chaining) for details.
```js
// chaining methods
inject(dispatch)
.get('/') // set the request method to GET, and request URL to '/'
.headers({ foo: 'bar' }) // set the request headers
.query({ foo: 'bar' }) // set the query parameters
.end((err, res) => {
console.log(res.payload)
})
inject(dispatch)
.post('/') // set the request method to POST, and request URL to '/'
.payload('request payload') // set the request payload
.body('request body') // alias for payload
.end((err, res) => {
console.log(res.payload)
})
// async-await is also supported
try {
const chain = inject(dispatch).get('/')
const res = await chain.end()
console.log(res.payload)
} catch (err) {
console.log(err)
}
```
File uploads (`multipart/form-data`) or form submit (`x-www-form-urlencoded`) can be achieved by using [form-auto-content](https://github.com/Eomm/form-auto-content) package as shown below:
```js
const formAutoContent = require('form-auto-content')
const fs = require('node:fs')
try {
const form = formAutoContent({
myField: 'hello',
myFile: fs.createReadStream(`./path/to/file`)
})
const res = await inject(dispatch, {
method: 'post',
url: '/upload',
...form
})
console.log(res.payload)
} catch (err) {
console.log(err)
}
```
This module ships with a handwritten TypeScript declaration file for TS support. The declaration exports a single namespace `LightMyRequest`. You can import it one of two ways:
```typescript
import * as LightMyRequest from 'light-my-request'
const dispatch: LightMyRequest.DispatchFunc = function (req, res) {
const reply = 'Hello World'
res.writeHead(200, { 'Content-Type': 'text/plain', 'Content-Length': reply.length })
res.end(reply)
}
LightMyRequest.inject(dispatch, { method: 'get', url: '/' }, (err, res) => {
console.log(res.payload)
})
// or
import { inject, DispatchFunc } from 'light-my-request'
const dispatch: DispatchFunc = function (req, res) {
const reply = 'Hello World'
res.writeHead(200, { 'Content-Type': 'text/plain', 'Content-Length': reply.length })
res.end(reply)
}
inject(dispatch, { method: 'get', url: '/' }, (err, res) => {
console.log(res.payload)
})
```
The declaration file exports types for the following parts of the API:
- `inject` - standard light-my-request `inject` method
- `DispatchFunc` - the fake HTTP dispatch function
- `InjectPayload` - a union type for valid payload types
- `isInjection` - standard light-my-request `isInjection` method
- `InjectOptions` - options object for `inject` method
- `Request` - custom light-my-request `request` object interface. Extends
Node.js `stream.Readable` type by default. This behavior can be changed by
setting the `Request` option in the `inject` method's options
- `Response` - custom light-my-request `response` object interface. Extends Node.js `http.ServerResponse` type
## API
#### `inject(dispatchFunc[, options, callback])`
Injects a fake request into an HTTP server.
- `dispatchFunc` - listener function. The same as you would pass to `Http.createServer` when making a node HTTP server. Has the signature `function (req, res)` where:
- `req` - a simulated request object. Inherits from `Stream.Readable` by
default. Optionally inherits from another class, set in
`options.Request`
- `res` - a simulated response object. Inherits from node's `Http.ServerResponse`.
- `options` - request options object where:
- `url` | `path` - a string specifying the request URL.
- `method` - a string specifying the HTTP request method, defaulting to `'GET'`.
- `authority` - a string specifying the HTTP HOST header value to be used if no header is provided, and the `url`
does not include an authority component. Defaults to `'localhost'`.
- `headers` - an optional object containing request headers.
- `cookies` - an optional object containing key-value pairs that will be encoded and added to `cookie` header. If the header is already set, the data will be appended.
- `remoteAddress` - an optional string specifying the client remote address. Defaults to `'127.0.0.1'`.
- `payload` - an optional request payload. Can be a string, Buffer, Stream, or object. If the payload is string, Buffer or Stream is used as is as the request payload. Otherwise, it is serialized with `JSON.stringify` forcing the request to have the `Content-type` equal to `application/json`
- `query` - an optional object or string containing query parameters.
- `body` - alias for payload.
- `simulate` - an object containing flags to simulate various conditions:
- `end` - indicates whether the request will fire an `end` event. Defaults to `undefined`, meaning an `end` event will fire.
- `split` - indicates whether the request payload will be split into chunks. Defaults to `undefined`, meaning payload will not be chunked.
- `error` - whether the request will emit an `error` event. Defaults to `undefined`, meaning no `error` event will be emitted. If set to `true`, the emitted error will have a message of `'Simulated'`.
- `close` - whether the request will emit a `close` event. Defaults to `undefined`, meaning no `close` event will be emitted.
- `validate` - Optional flag to validate this options object. Defaults to `true`.
- `server` - Optional http server. It is used for binding the `dispatchFunc`.
- `autoStart` - Automatically start the request as soon as the method
is called. It is only valid when not passing a callback. Defaults to `true`.
- `signal` - An `AbortSignal` that may be used to abort an ongoing request. Requires Node v16+.
- `Request` - Optional type from which the `request` object should inherit
instead of `stream.Readable`
- `payloadAsStream` - if set to `true`, the response will be streamed and not accumulated; in this case `res.payload`, `res.rawPayload` will be undefined.
- `callback` - the callback function using the signature `function (err, res)` where:
- `err` - error object
- `res` - a response object where:
- `raw` - an object containing the raw request and response objects where:
- `req` - the simulated request object.
- `res` - the simulated response object.
- `headers` - an object containing the response headers.
- `statusCode` - the HTTP status code.
- `statusMessage` - the HTTP status message.
- `payload` - the payload as a UTF-8 encoded string.
- `body` - alias for payload.
- `rawPayload` - the raw payload as a Buffer.
- `trailers` - an object containing the response trailers.
- `json` - a function that parses a json response payload and returns an object.
- `stream` - a function that provides a `Readable` stream of the response payload.
- `cookies` - a getter that parses the `set-cookie` response header and returns an array with all the cookies and their metadata.
Notes:
- You can also pass a string in place of the `options` object as a shorthand
for `{url: string, method: 'GET'}`.
- Beware when using the `Request` option. That might make _light-my-request_
slower. Sample benchmark result run on an i5-8600K CPU with `Request` set to
`http.IncomingMessage`:
```
Request x 155,018 ops/sec ±0.47% (94 runs sampled)
Custom Request x 30,373 ops/sec ±0.64% (90 runs sampled)
Request With Cookies x 125,696 ops/sec ±0.29% (96 runs sampled)
Request With Cookies n payload x 114,391 ops/sec ±0.33% (97 runs sampled)
ParseUrl x 255,790 ops/sec ±0.23% (99 runs sampled)
ParseUrl and query x 194,479 ops/sec ±0.16% (99 runs sampled)
```
#### `inject.isInjection(obj)`
Checks if given object `obj` is a *light-my-request* `Request` object.
#### Method chaining
The following methods can be used in chaining:
- `delete`, `get`, `head`, `options`, `patch`, `post`, `put`, `trace`. They will set the HTTP request method and the request URL.
- `body`, `headers`, `payload`, `query`, `cookies`. They can be used to set the request options object.
And finally, you need to call `end`. It has the signature `function (callback)`.
If you invoke `end` without a callback function, the method will return a promise, thus you can:
```js
const chain = inject(dispatch).get('/')
try {
const res = await chain.end()
console.log(res.payload)
} catch (err) {
// handle error
}
// or
chain.end()
.then(res => {
console.log(res.payload)
})
.catch(err => {
// handle error
})
```
By the way, you can also use promises without calling `end`!
```js
inject(dispatch)
.get('/')
.then(res => {
console.log(res.payload)
})
.catch(err => {
// handle error
})
```
Note: The application would not respond multiple times. If you try to invoke any method after the application has responded, the application would throw an error.
