Class: MockPool

Extends: undici.Pool

A mock Pool class that implements the Pool API and is used by MockAgent to intercept real requests and return mocked responses.

new MockPool(origin, [options])

Arguments:

• origin string - It should only include the protocol, hostname, and port.

• options MockPoolOptions - It extends the Pool options.

Returns: MockPool

Parameter: MockPoolOptions

Extends: PoolOptions

• agent Agent - the agent to associate this MockPool with.

Example - Basic MockPool instantiation

We can use MockAgent to instantiate a MockPool ready to be used to intercept specified requests. It will not do anything until registered as the agent to use and any mock request are registered.

import { MockAgent } from 'undici'

const mockAgent = new MockAgent()

const mockPool = mockAgent.get('http://localhost:3000')

Instance Methods

MockPool.intercept(options)

This method defines the interception rules for matching against requests for a MockPool or MockPool. We can intercept multiple times on a single instance, but each intercept is only used once. For example if you expect to make 2 requests inside a test, you need to call intercept() twice. Assuming you use disableNetConnect() you will get MockNotMatchedError on the second request when you only call intercept() once.

When defining interception rules, all the rules must pass for a request to be intercepted. If a request is not intercepted, a real request will be attempted.

Matcher type	Condition to pass
string	Exact match against string
RegExp	Regex must pass
Function	Function must return true

Arguments:

• options MockPoolInterceptOptions - Interception options.

Returns: MockInterceptor corresponding to the input options.

Parameter: MockPoolInterceptOptions

• path string | RegExp | (path: string) => boolean - a matcher for the HTTP request path. When a RegExp or callback is used, it will match against the request path including all query parameters in alphabetical order. When a string is provided, the query parameters can be conveniently specified through the MockPoolInterceptOptions.query setting.

• method string | RegExp | (method: string) => boolean - (optional) - a matcher for the HTTP request method. Defaults to GET.

• body string | RegExp | (body: string) => boolean - (optional) - a matcher for the HTTP request body.

• headers Record<string, string | RegExp | (body: string) => boolean> - (optional) - a matcher for the HTTP request headers. To be intercepted, a request must match all defined headers. Extra headers not defined here may (or may not) be included in the request and do not affect the interception in any way.

• query Record<string, any> | null - (optional) - a matcher for the HTTP request query string params. Only applies when a string was provided for MockPoolInterceptOptions.path.

• ignoreTrailingSlash boolean - (optional) - set to true if the matcher should also match by ignoring potential trailing slashes in MockPoolInterceptOptions.path.

Return: MockInterceptor

We can define the behaviour of an intercepted request with the following options.

• reply (statusCode: number, replyData: string | Buffer | object | MockInterceptor.MockResponseDataHandler, responseOptions?: MockResponseOptions) => MockScope - define a reply for a matching request. You can define the replyData as a callback to read incoming request data. Default for responseOptions is {}.

• reply (callback: MockInterceptor.MockReplyOptionsCallback) => MockScope - define a reply for a matching request, allowing dynamic mocking of all reply options rather than just the data.

• replyWithError (error: Error) => MockScope - define an error for a matching request to throw.

• defaultReplyHeaders (headers: Record<string, string>) => MockInterceptor - define default headers to be included in subsequent replies. These are in addition to headers on a specific reply.

• defaultReplyTrailers (trailers: Record<string, string>) => MockInterceptor - define default trailers to be included in subsequent replies. These are in addition to trailers on a specific reply.

• replyContentLength () => MockInterceptor - define automatically calculated content-length headers to be included in subsequent replies.

The reply data of an intercepted request may either be a string, buffer, or JavaScript object. Objects are converted to JSON while strings and buffers are sent as-is.

By default, reply and replyWithError define the behaviour for the first matching request only. Subsequent requests will not be affected (this can be changed using the returned MockScope).

Parameter: MockResponseOptions

• headers Record<string, string> - headers to be included on the mocked reply.

• trailers Record<string, string> - trailers to be included on the mocked reply.

Return: MockScope

A MockScope is associated with a single MockInterceptor. With this, we can configure the default behaviour of an intercepted reply.

• delay (waitInMs: number) => MockScope - delay the associated reply by a set amount in ms.

• persist () => MockScope - any matching request will always reply with the defined response indefinitely.

• times (repeatTimes: number) => MockScope - any matching request will reply with the defined response a fixed amount of times. This is overridden by persist.

Example - Basic Mocked Request

import { MockAgent, setGlobalDispatcher, request } from 'undici'

const mockAgent = new MockAgent()
setGlobalDispatcher(mockAgent)

// MockPool
const mockPool = mockAgent.get('http://localhost:3000')
mockPool.intercept({ path: '/foo' }).reply(200, 'foo')

const {
  statusCode,
  body
} = await request('http://localhost:3000/foo')

console.log('response received', statusCode) // response received 200

for await (const data of body) {
  console.log('data', data.toString('utf8')) // data foo
}

Example - Mocked request using reply data callbacks

import { MockAgent, setGlobalDispatcher, request } from 'undici'

const mockAgent = new MockAgent()
setGlobalDispatcher(mockAgent)

const mockPool = mockAgent.get('http://localhost:3000')

mockPool.intercept({
  path: '/echo',
  method: 'GET',
  headers: {
    'User-Agent': 'undici',
    Host: 'example.com'
  }
}).reply(200, ({ headers }) => ({ message: headers.get('message') }))

const { statusCode, body, headers } = await request('http://localhost:3000', {
  headers: {
    message: 'hello world!'
  }
})

console.log('response received', statusCode) // response received 200
console.log('headers', headers) // { 'content-type': 'application/json' }

for await (const data of body) {
  console.log('data', data.toString('utf8')) // { "message":"hello world!" }
}

Example - Mocked request using reply options callback

import { MockAgent, setGlobalDispatcher, request } from 'undici'

setGlobalDispatcher(mockAgent)

const mockPool = mockAgent.get('http://localhost:3000')

mockPool.intercept({
  path: '/echo',
  method: 'GET',
  headers: {
    'User-Agent': 'undici',
    Host: 'example.com'
  }
}).reply(({ headers }) => ({ statusCode: 200, data: { message: headers.get('message') }})))

const { statusCode, body, headers } = await request('http://localhost:3000', {
  headers: {
    message: 'hello world!'
  }
})

console.log('response received', statusCode) // response received 200
console.log('headers', headers) // { 'content-type': 'application/json' }

for await (const data of body) {
  console.log('data', data.toString('utf8')) // { "message":"hello world!" }

  path: '/foo',
  method: 'GET'
}).reply(200, 'foo')

mockPool.intercept({
  path: '/hello',
  method: 'GET',
}).reply(200, 'hello')

const result1 = await request('http://localhost:3000/foo')

console.log('response received', result1.statusCode) // response received 200

for await (const data of result1.body) {
  console.log('data', data.toString('utf8')) // data foo
}

const result2 = await request('http://localhost:3000/hello')

console.log('response received', result2.statusCode) // response received 200

for await (const data of result2.body) {
  console.log('data', data.toString('utf8')) // data hello
}

Example - Mocked request with query body, request headers and response headers and trailers

  method: 'POST',
  body: 'form1=data1&form2=data2',
  headers: {

  }
}).reply(200, { foo: 'bar' }, {
  headers: { 'content-type': 'application/json' },
  trailers: { 'Content-MD5': 'test' }
