sinon-har-server
Auto mocks your server from a recorded .har file. Don't let your mocks lie to you!
This module works in Node.js as well as in the browser with either AMD or with a <script>
tag which defines sinonHarServer
as a global.
Usage:
var server;
beforeEach(function () {
return fetch('api-traffic.har').then(function (response) {
return response.json();
}).then(function (harFile) {
server = sinon.fakeServer.create();
server.autoRespond = true;
server.autoRespondAfter = 1;
return sinonHarServer.load(server, harFile);
});
});
afterEach(function () {
server.restore();
});
This is especially useful for capturing all test traffic from your back-end test suite, for doing auto mocking in your front-end test suite. See this project for an example: https://github.com/larsthorup/http-auto-mock-demo
