ex-js-faker-request
A simple way to emulate request in ExpressJS project to get data from inner controller whithout calling rest http (no axios, request or http method) only internal functions
If we have a controller function made using express like this
controller.getAllusers = async function(req,res){
let list = await users.find({name:req.body.name, company:req.params.company}).limit(req.query.limit).exec()
res.status(200).json({
status:200,
data:list,
error:'none'
})
}
module.exports = controller
Commonly we use this in a route like this
let {getAllusers} = require('usercontroller.js')
router.post('/getAllusers', getAllusers)
But if we have to get the info internal is a litle complex and must of people use axios, request or another http request but is not very efficient. To solve this problem we can execute like this
//Import library
let {fakeRequestFunction, fakeResponseFunction} = require('ex-js-faker-request')
//Import controller
let {getAllusers} = require('usercontroller.js')
// create the fake req objet as json object
let main = async function (){
let req = {
body:{name:'erick'},
params:{company:'leganux'},
query:{limit:5},
}
// make the instance of fake functions
let fakeResUser = new fakeResponseFunction()
let fakeReqUser = new fakeRequestFunction(req)
await getAllusers(fakeReqUser,fakeResUser)
console.log(fakeResUser.status_)
/* console:
200
*/
console.log(fakeResUser.json_)
/* console:
{
status:200,
data:[{},{}],
error:'none'
}
*/
}
main()
