Usage

1. Load a fixture. All folder names at @octokit/fixtures/scenarios/api.github.com are valid values for scenario.

   curl -XPOST -H'Content-Type: application/json' https://fixtures-server.now.sh/fixtures -d '{"scenario": "get-repository"}'
   

   The response looks something like this

   {
     "id":"fixturesid123",
     "url":"https://octokitfixtures-server-abc.now.sh/api.github.com/fixturesid123"
   }

2. Send a request to the returned url as if it was https://api.github.com.

   curl -H'Accept: application/vnd.github.v3+json' https://octokitfixtures-server-abc.now.sh/api.github.com/api.github.com/fixturesid123/repos/octokit-fixture-org/hello-world
   

After that request the fixture is "consumed". That allows for different responses for the same requests based on order.

If you want to load custom fixtures, you'll have to use @octokit/fixtures-server as standalone server or as as express middleware.

Standalone Server

Download binary for your os from the latest release.

Alternatively, you can also install @octokit/fixtures-server as a global npm package, if you prefer that:

npm install --global @octokit/fixtures-server

By default the server runs at http://localhost:3000

octokit-fixtures-server

From here it's the same usage as shown above, only with http://localhost:3000 instead of https://fixtures-server.now.sh

CLI option	ENV variable	default	description
--port	PORT	3000	Server port number
--fixtures-url	FIXTURES_URL	'http://localhost:<port>'	URL to handle fixture requests (This helps with continuous deployments)

const fixturesServer = require('@octokit/fixtures-server')
app.use(fixturesServer({
  fixtures: {
    'my-scenario': require('./scenarios/my-scenario.json')
  }
}))

app.listen(3000)
