serverless-offline-http-mock

Overview

This is a plugin for the serverless framework that provides the ability to create mock responses to HTTP(S) requests. This is useful when developing integration against an API spec that doesn't yet exist. This plugin uses nock to provide mock responses. It supports mock requests for:

Local Invoke Lambda calls
Serverless Offline API Gateway Lambda calls
Serverless Appsync Offline data sources

Requirements

An existing serverless framework project.

Installation

npm install serverless-offline-http-mock

yarn add serverless-offline-http-mock

Upgrade to v1.0.0

Please note that if you installed a version of this prior to v1.0.0, you will need to follow step #2 below and add a truthy serverless-offline-http-mock-enabled value in order for your mocks to be loaded.

Usage

Within the serverless.yml file, enable the plugin by placing an serverless-offline-http-mock entry in the plugins section. If using Serverless Offline, make sure it is placed above the serverless-offline plugin
Create a serverless-offline-http-mock-enabled entry in the custom section with a truthy (true, 1, etc) or falsy value (false, 0, etc). You can also use environment variables (for example, ${env:MOCK_ENABLED}).
Create a serverless-offline-http-mock entry in the custom section.
For each host, create an entry containing hostname, a list of JS files to load, and an optional directory. See serverless.yml example below.
In each JS file, export a function that accepts the nock library and hostname as arguments. Within that function, implement nock to handle the HTTP(S) requests. See example.js example below.

Example

serverless.yml:

...
custom:
  serverless-offline-http-mock-enabled: 1
  serverless-offline-http-mock:
    - hostname: http://www.example.com
      directory: 'mocks' # Optional
      mocks:
        - example.js

plugins:
  - serverless-offline-http-mock # Note how this comes before serverless-offline
  - serverless-offline

mocks/example.js:

const mocks = (nock, hostname) =>
  nock(hostname)
    .persist()
    .get('/')
    .reply(200, 'success!');
module.exports = mocks;
