Record, Replay, and Stub HTTP Interactions

Polly.JS is a standalone, framework-agnostic JavaScript library that enables recording, replaying, and stubbing HTTP interactions.

Polly taps into native browser APIs to mock requests and responses with little to no configuration while giving you the ability to take full control of each request with a simple, powerful, and intuitive API.

Why Polly?

Keeping fixtures and factories in parity with your APIs can be a time consuming process. Polly alleviates this by recording and maintaining actual server responses without foregoing flexibility.

Record your test suite's HTTP interactions and replay them during future test runs for fast, deterministic, accurate tests.
Use Polly's client-side server to modify or intercept requests and responses to simulate different application states (e.g. loading, error, etc.).

Usage

Let's take a look at what an example test case would look like using Polly.

import { Polly } from '@pollyjs/core';

describe('Netflix Homepage', function() {
  it('should be able to sign in', async function() {
    /*
      Create a new polly instance.

      By default, Polly will connect to both fetch and XHR browser APIs and
      will record any requests that it hasn't yet seen while replaying ones it
      has already recorded.
    */
    const polly = new Polly('Sign In');
    const { server } = polly;

    /* Intercept all Google Analytic requests and respond with a 200 */
    server
      .get('/google-analytics/*path')
      .intercept((req, res) => res.sendStatus(200));

    /* Pass-through all GET requests to /coverage */
    server.get('/coverage').passthrough();

    /* start: pseudo test code */
    await visit('/login');
    await fillIn('email', 'polly@netflix.com');
    await fillIn('password', '@pollyjs');
    await submit();
    /* end: pseudo test code */

    expect(location.pathname).to.equal('/browse');

    /*
      Calling `stop` will persist requests as well as disconnect from any
      connected browser APIs (e.g. fetch or XHR).
    */
    await polly.stop();
  });
});
