mock-hapi-session

npm install --save-dev mock-hapi-session

This plugin allows you to mock hapi yar sessions for testing.

Usage

After you set up your hapi server for testing, register the plugin:

import mockSession from 'mock-hapi-session';

server.register({
  plugin: mockSession,
  options: { cookieKey: 'myCookieKey' },
});

where coookieKey is the name of the cookie you want to mock (the name option of yar).

You can now use the plugin to set a cookie and access it in following request by providing a cookie header.

server.plugins.mockSession.mock(value);

injects a cookie into yar and returns a promise that resolves to the cookie header value to get access.

await server.inject({
  method: 'GET',
  url: '/my-route-to-test-that-uses-yar',
  headers: { cookie: await server.plugins.mockSession.mock({ some: 'mockedSession' }) },
});
