										 | # Light my Request
 | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  |  | ||
|  | [](https://www.npmjs.com/package/light-my-request) | ||
|  | [](https://snyk.io/test/github/fastify/light-my-request) | ||
|  | [](https://standardjs.com/) | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | Injects a fake HTTP request/response into a node HTTP server for simulating server logic, writing tests, or debugging.   | ||
|  | Does not use a socket connection so can be run against an inactive server (server not in listen mode).   | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ## Example
 | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ```javascript | ||
|  | const http = require('http') | ||
|  | const inject = require('light-my-request') | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | const dispatch = function (req, res) { | ||
|  |   const reply = 'Hello World' | ||
|  |   res.writeHead(200, { 'Content-Type': 'text/plain', 'Content-Length': reply.length }) | ||
|  |   res.end(reply) | ||
|  | } | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | const server = http.createServer(dispatch) | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | inject(dispatch, { method: 'get', url: '/' }, (err, res) => { | ||
|  |   console.log(res.payload) | ||
|  | }) | ||
|  | ``` | ||
|  | Note how `server.listen` is never called. | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | Async await and promises are supported as well! | ||
|  | ```javascript | ||
|  | // promises | ||
|  | inject(dispatch, { method: 'get', url: '/' }) | ||
|  |   .then(res => console.log(res.payload)) | ||
|  |   .catch(console.log) | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | // async-await | ||
|  | try { | ||
|  |   const res = await inject(dispatch, { method: 'get', url: '/' }) | ||
|  |   console.log(res.payload) | ||
|  | } catch (err) { | ||
|  |   console.log(err) | ||
|  | } | ||
|  | ``` | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | You can also use chaining methods if you do not pass the callback function. Check [here](#method-chaining) for details. | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ```js | ||
|  | // chaining methods | ||
|  | inject(dispatch) | ||
|  |   .get('/')                   // set the request method to GET, and request URL to '/' | ||
|  |   .headers({ foo: 'bar' })    // set the request headers | ||
|  |   .query({ foo: 'bar' })      // set the query parameters | ||
|  |   .end((err, res) => { | ||
|  |     console.log(res.payload) | ||
|  |   }) | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | inject(dispatch) | ||
|  |   .post('/')                  // set the request method to POST, and request URL to '/' | ||
|  |   .payload('request payload') // set the request payload | ||
|  |   .body('request body')       // alias for payload | ||
|  |   .end((err, res) => { | ||
|  |     console.log(res.payload) | ||
|  |   }) | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | // async-await is also supported | ||
|  | try { | ||
|  |   const chain = inject(dispatch).get('/') | ||
|  |   const res = await chain.end() | ||
|  |   console.log(res.payload) | ||
|  | } catch (err) { | ||
|  |   console.log(err) | ||
|  | } | ||
|  | ``` | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | File uploads (`multipart/form-data`) or form submit (`x-www-form-urlencoded`) can be achieved by using [form-auto-content](https://github.com/Eomm/form-auto-content) package as shown below: | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ```js | ||
|  | const formAutoContent = require('form-auto-content') | ||
|  | const fs = require('fs') | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | try { | ||
|  |   const form = formAutoContent({ | ||
|  |     myField: 'hello', | ||
|  |     myFile: fs.createReadStream(`./path/to/file`) | ||
|  |   }) | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  |   const res = await inject(dispatch, { | ||
|  |     method: 'post', | ||
|  |     url: '/upload', | ||
|  |     ...form | ||
|  |   }) | ||
|  |   console.log(res.payload) | ||
|  | } catch (err) { | ||
|  |   console.log(err) | ||
|  | } | ||
|  | ``` | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | This module ships with a handwritten TypeScript declaration file for TS support. The declaration exports a single namespace `LightMyRequest`. You can import it one of two ways: | ||
|  | ```typescript | ||
|  | import * as LightMyRequest from 'light-my-request' | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | const dispatch: LightMyRequest.DispatchFunc = function (req, res) { | ||
|  |   const reply = 'Hello World' | ||
|  |   res.writeHead(200, { 'Content-Type': 'text/plain', 'Content-Length': reply.length }) | ||
|  |   res.end(reply) | ||
|  | } | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | LightMyRequest.inject(dispatch, { method: 'get', url: '/' }, (err, res) => { | ||
|  |   console.log(res.payload) | ||
|  | }) | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | // or | ||
|  | import { inject, DistpatchFunc } from 'light-my-request' | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | const dispatch: DispatchFunc = function (req, res) { | ||
|  |   const reply = 'Hello World' | ||
|  |   res.writeHead(200, { 'Content-Type': 'text/plain', 'Content-Length': reply.length }) | ||
|  |   res.end(reply) | ||
|  | } | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | inject(dispatch, { method: 'get', url: '/' }, (err, res) => { | ||
|  |   console.log(res.payload) | ||
|  | }) | ||
|  | ``` | ||
|  | The declaration file exports types for the following parts of the API: | ||
|  | - `inject` - standard light-my-request `inject` method | ||
|  | - `DispatchFunc` - the fake HTTP dispatch function | ||
|  | - `InjectPayload` - a union type for valid payload types | ||
|  | - `isInjection` - standard light-my-request `isInjection` method | ||
|  | - `InjectOptions` - options object for `inject` method | ||
|  | - `Request` - custom light-my-request `request` object interface. Extends | ||
|  |   Node.js `stream.Readable` type by default. This behavior can be changed by | ||
|  |   setting the `Request` option in the `inject` method's options | ||
|  | - `Response` - custom light-my-request `response` object interface. Extends Node.js `http.ServerResponse` type | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ## API
 | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | #### `inject(dispatchFunc[, options, callback])`
 | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | Injects a fake request into an HTTP server. | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | - `dispatchFunc` - listener function. The same as you would pass to `Http.createServer` when making a node HTTP server. Has the signature `function (req, res)` where: | ||
|  |     - `req` - a simulated request object. Inherits from `Stream.Readable` by | ||
|  |       default. Optionally inherits from another class, set in | ||
|  |       `options.Request` | ||
|  |     - `res` - a simulated response object. Inherits from node's `Http.ServerResponse`. | ||
|  | - `options` - request options object where: | ||
|  |   - `url` | `path` - a string specifying the request URL. | ||
|  |   - `method` - a string specifying the HTTP request method, defaulting to `'GET'`. | ||
|  |   - `authority` - a string specifying the HTTP HOST header value to be used if no header is provided, and the `url` | ||
|  |     does not include an authority component. Defaults to `'localhost'`. | ||
|  |   - `headers` - an optional object containing request headers. | ||
|  |   - `cookies` - an optional object containing key-value pairs that will be encoded and added to `cookie` header. If the header is already set, the data will be appended. | ||
|  |   - `remoteAddress` - an optional string specifying the client remote address. Defaults to `'127.0.0.1'`. | ||
|  |   - `payload` - an optional request payload. Can be a string, Buffer, Stream or object. If the payload is string, Buffer or Stream is used as is as the request payload. Oherwise it is serialized with `JSON.stringify` forcing the request to have the `Content-type` equal to `application/json` | ||
|  |   - `query` - an optional object containing query parameters. | ||
|  |   - `body` - alias for payload. | ||
|  |   - `simulate` - an object containing flags to simulate various conditions: | ||
|  |     - `end` - indicates whether the request will fire an `end` event. Defaults to `undefined`, meaning an `end` event will fire. | ||
|  |     - `split` - indicates whether the request payload will be split into chunks. Defaults to `undefined`, meaning payload will not be chunked. | ||
|  |     - `error` - whether the request will emit an `error` event. Defaults to `undefined`, meaning no `error` event will be emitted. If set to `true`, the emitted error will have a message of `'Simulated'`. | ||
|  |     - `close` - whether the request will emit a `close` event. Defaults to `undefined`, meaning no `close` event will be emitted. | ||
|  |   - `validate` - Optional flag to validate this options object. Defaults to `true`. | ||
|  |   - `server` - Optional http server. It is used for binding the `dispatchFunc`. | ||
|  |   - `autoStart` - Automatically start the request as soon as the method | ||
|  |     is called. It is only valid when not passing a callback. Defaults to `true`. | ||
|  |   - `Request` - Optional type from which the `request` object should inherit | ||
|  |     instead of `stream.Readable` | ||
|  | - `callback` - the callback function using the signature `function (err, res)` where: | ||
|  |   - `err` - error object | ||
|  |   - `res` - a response object where: | ||
|  |     - `raw` - an object containing the raw request and response objects where: | ||
|  |       - `req` - the simulated request object. | ||
|  |       - `res` - the simulated response object. | ||
|  |     - `headers` - an object containing the response headers. | ||
|  |     - `statusCode` - the HTTP status code. | ||
|  |     - `statusMessage` - the HTTP status message. | ||
|  |     - `payload` - the payload as a UTF-8 encoded string. | ||
|  |     - `body` - alias for payload. | ||
|  |     - `rawPayload` - the raw payload as a Buffer. | ||
|  |     - `trailers` - an object containing the response trailers. | ||
|  |     - `json` - a function that parses the `application/json` response payload and returns an object. Throws if the content type does not contain `application/json`. | ||
|  |     - `cookies` - a getter that parses the `set-cookie` response header and returns an array with all the cookies and their metadata. | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | Notes: | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | - You can also pass a string in place of the `options` object as a shorthand | ||
|  |   for `{url: string, method: 'GET'}`. | ||
|  | - Beware when using the `Request` option. That might make _light-my-request_ | ||
|  |   slower. Sample benchmark result run on an i5-8600K CPU with `Request` set to | ||
|  |   `http.IncomingMessage`: | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ``` | ||
|  | Request x 155,018 ops/sec ±0.47% (94 runs sampled) | ||
|  | Custom Request x 30,373 ops/sec ±0.64% (90 runs sampled) | ||
|  | Request With Cookies x 125,696 ops/sec ±0.29% (96 runs sampled) | ||
|  | Request With Cookies n payload x 114,391 ops/sec ±0.33% (97 runs sampled) | ||
|  | ParseUrl x 255,790 ops/sec ±0.23% (99 runs sampled) | ||
|  | ParseUrl and query x 194,479 ops/sec ±0.16% (99 runs sampled) | ||
|  | ``` | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | #### `inject.isInjection(obj)`
 | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | Checks if given object `obj` is a *light-my-request* `Request` object. | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | #### Method chaining
 | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | There are following methods you can used as chaining: | ||
|  | - `delete`, `get`, `head`, `options`, `patch`, `post`, `put`, `trace`. They will set the HTTP request method and the request URL. | ||
|  | - `body`, `headers`, `payload`, `query`, `cookies`. They can be used to set the request options object. | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | And finally you need to call `end`. It has the signature `function (callback)`. | ||
|  | If you invoke `end` without a callback function, the method will return a promise, thus you can: | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ```js | ||
|  | const chain = inject(dispatch).get('/') | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | try { | ||
|  |   const res = await chain.end() | ||
|  |   console.log(res.payload) | ||
|  | } catch (err) { | ||
|  |   // handle error | ||
|  | } | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | // or | ||
|  | chain.end() | ||
|  |   .then(res => { | ||
|  |     console.log(res.payload) | ||
|  |   }) | ||
|  |   .catch(err => { | ||
|  |     // handle error | ||
|  |   }) | ||
|  | ``` | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | By the way, you can also use promises without calling `end`! | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ```js | ||
|  | inject(dispatch) | ||
|  |   .get('/') | ||
|  |   .then(res => { | ||
|  |     console.log(res.payload) | ||
|  |   }) | ||
|  |   .catch(err => { | ||
|  |     // handle error | ||
|  |   }) | ||
|  | ``` | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | Note: The application would not respond multiple times. If you try to invoking any method after the application has responded, the application would throw an error. | ||
