Communicate with MockServer from any node or grunt build

For chat room:

Getting Started

MockServer is for mocking of any system you integrate with via HTTP or HTTPS (i.e. services, web sites, etc).

This npm modules is allows any grunt of node project to easily communicate with the MockServer.

An addition to this module for communicating with the MockServer there is also a grunt task that can be used to start and stop MockServer from grunt called mockserver-grunt.

The both the MockServer and proxy clients can be created as follows:

var mockServer = require('mockserver-client'),
    mockServerClient = mockServer.mockServerClient, // MockServer client
    proxyClient = mockServer.proxyClient; // proxy client

Note: this assumes you have an instance of MockServer running on port 1080 for more information on how to do this see mockserver-grunt.

Setup Expectation

Then an simple expectation can be setup as follows:

mockServerClient("localhost", 1080).
    mockSimpleResponse('/somePath', { name: 'value' }, 203);

Or a more complex expectation can be setup as follows:

mockServerClient("localhost", 1080).mockAnyResponse(
    {
        'httpRequest': {
            'method': 'POST',
            'path': '/somePath',
            'queryStringParameters': [
                {
                    'name': 'test',
                    'values': [ 'true' ]
                }
            ],
            'body': {
                'type': "STRING",
                'value': 'someBody'
            }
        },
        'httpResponse': {
            'statusCode': 200,
            'body': JSON.stringify({ name: 'value' }),
            'delay': {
                'timeUnit': 'MILLISECONDS',
                'value': 250
            }
        },
        'times': {
            'remainingTimes': 1,
            'unlimited': false
        }
    }
);

For the full syntax support see MockServer - Creating JavaScript Expectations.

Verify Requests

It is also possible to verify that request were made as follows:

mockServerClient("localhost", 1080).verify(
    {
        'method': 'POST',
        'path': '/somePath',
        'body': 'someBody'
    }, 1, true);

Contributing

In lieu of a formal styleguide, take care to maintain the existing coding style. Add unit tests for any new or changed functionality. Lint and test your code using Grunt.
