mockhttp

gomockhttp

A fluent testing library for mocking http apis.

• Mock the external http apis your code is calling.
• Verify/assert the calls your code performed

Getting started

Create the API mock

func TestApiCall(t *testing.T) {
  api := mockhttp.Api(t)
  defer func() { api.Close() }()
  //...
}

Stub endpoints

api.
  Stub(http.MethodGet, "/endpoint").
  WithJson(http.StatusOK, jsonStub).

  Stub(http.MethodPost, "/endpoint").
  WithStatusCode(http.StatusCreated)

Call the mocked API

resultBasedOnMockedResponses, err := codeCallingTheApi(api.GetUrl())

Verify the API invocations

calls := api.
  Verify(http.MethodPost, "/endpoint").
  HasBeenCalled(2)

expectCall1 := calls[0]
expectCall1.WithPayload(expectedPayload1)

expectCall2 := calls[1]
expectCall2.WithPayload(expectedPayload2)

Example

package main

import (
  "github.com/le-yams/gomockhttp"
  "fmt"
  "net/http"
  "testing"
)

type FooDto struct {
  Foo string `json:"foo"`
}

func TestApiCall(t *testing.T) {
  // Arrange
  api := mockhttp.Api(t)
  defer func() { api.Close() }()

  api.
    Stub(http.MethodGet, "/foo").
    WithJson(http.StatusOK, &FooDto{Foo: "bar"})
  token := "testToken"

  //Act
  fooService := NewFooService(api.GetUrl(), token)
  foo := fooService.GetFoo() // the code actually making the http call to the api endpoint

  // Assert
  if foo != "bar" {
    t.Errorf("unexpected value: %s\n", foo)
  }

  api.
    Verify(http.MethodGet, "/foo").
    HasBeenCalledOnce().
    WithHeader("Authorization", fmt.Sprintf("Bearer %s", token))
}
