pretender 0.2.0

Pretender is a JavaScript mock server library useful for testing applications and Web Components built using Polymer Elements.

pretender

Pretender is a Dart wrapper for Pretender, a mock server library written in JavaScript. It currently supports only a small subset of the Pretender api (get, post, and map).

Limitations

Pretender works by replacing XMLHttpRequest in the browser DOM with its own mock implementation, FakeXMLHttpRequest. This doesn't interoperate well with the Dart apis. Calls made to Dart apis in Dartium don't see Pretenders version of the XMLHttpRequest. Calls made to Dart apis when compiled to JavaScript may throw unexpected exceptions. See issue 24462.

With these limitations, the library is primarily useful for testing web components built using Polymer Elements that rely on the the JavaScript API's directly.

Usage

Usage in Basic HTML/Dart:

In your entrypoint HTML:

<script src="packages/pretender/src/FakeXMLHttpRequest/fake_xml_http_request.js"></script>
<script src="packages/pretender/src/route-recognizer/dist/route-recognizer.js"></script>
<script src="packages/pretender/src/pretender/pretender.js"></script>

In your entrypoint Dart:

 import 'package:pretender/http_pretender.dart';

 main(){
  var somePath = (pretender) {
      pretender.get('/some/path', (request) {
          return new Response(200,
              {'content-type':'application/json'},
                  JSON.encode({'status':'ok'});
          });
      }

      var pretender = new HttpPretender();
      pretender.map(somePath);

  }

Usage with Web Components:

In your entrypoint HTML:

<link rel="import" href="packages/pretender/http_pretender_import.html">

In your entrypoint Dart:

main() async {
  await initWebComponents();
  var pretender = new HttpPretender();
}
