WsReq

Socket.io endpoints testing made easy.

About

The motivation with this module is to provide a high-level abstraction for testing Websocket endpoints.

Getting Started

Install WsReq as a development dependency:

npm i -D wsreq

or

yarn add -D wsreq

Once you installed, it can now be referenced by simply calling require('wsreq') or using import statements.

When you call the wsrequest function it returns an array with all the websocket connections requested in the options.

Example:

You may pass a reference of the http.Server or an URI to the wsrequest function.

If you pass a http.Server It will bound the server to a ephemeral port so you don't need to keep track of ports.

WsReq works with any test framework, here are some examples with jest:

  • Connection status.
import { wsrequest } from "wsreq";
import app from "../server/path";

test("should be able to connect.", async () => {
  const [conn] = await wsrequest(app, { config: { path: "/ws/path" } });
  expect(conn.connection.connected).toEqual(true);
  expect(conn.connection.id).toBeDefined();
  conn.close();
});
  • Response from emit event in the server.
test("should respond with msg.", async () => {
  const [conn] = await wsrequest(app, { config: { path } });
  const res = await conn.emit("ping", data).on("pong");
  expect(res).toEqual(data);
  conn.close();
});
  • Response from http server emit event.
test("should respond with msg (using http). ", async () => {
  // method: "get" | "post" | "put" | "delete";
  const [conn] = await wsrequest(app, { config: { path } });
  const { ws: ws_response, http: http_response } = await conn.onWithHttp(
    "ws-event",
    {
      url: "/endpoint/url",
      method: "post",
      body: { ...someData },
      headers: { ...someHeaders },
    }
  );
  expect(ws_response).toEquals({ ...compareData1 });
  expect(http_response).toEquals({ ...compareData2 });
  conn.close();
});
  • Response from on message event.
test("should respond with msg. (SEND)", async () => {
  const [conn] = await wsrequest(app, { config: { path } });
  const r = await conn.send(data);
  expect(r).toEqual(someData);
  conn.close();
});
  • Using multiple requests.
test("should respond with msg. (MULTIPLE)", async () => {
  const [conn] = await wsrequest(app, { config: { path: "/ws/path" } });
  const r = await conn.multiple(async ({ http, ws }) => {
    const hget = await http.get("/get/");
    const hpost = await http.post("/post/", {
      body: { ...data },
    });
    const hdelete = await http.delete("/delete/", {
      body: { ...data },
    });
    const hput = await http.put("/put/", {
      body: { ...data },
    });
    const wr = await ws.emit("ping", data).on("pong");
    return {
      hget,
      hpost,
      hdelete,
      hput,
      wr,
    };
  });
  expect(r.wr).toEqual(someData);
  expect(r.hget).toEqual(someData);
  expect(r.hpost).toEqual(someData);
  expect(r.hdelete).toEqual(someData);
  expect(r.hput).toEqual(someData);
  conn.close();
});
  • Using multiple clients.
test("should respond with msg.", async () => {
  const [conn1, conn2] = await wsrequest(app, { clients: 2, config: { path } });
  const res1 = await conn1.emit("ping", data).on("pong");
  const res2 = await conn2.emit("ping", data).on("pong");
  expect(res1).toEqual(data);
  expect(res2).toEqual(data);
  conn2.close();
  conn2.close();
});
  • Invalid http server endpoint url.
test("should fail with status code 404.", async () => {
  // method: "get" | "post" | "put" | "delete";
  const [conn] = await wsrequest(app, { config: { path } });
  const res = await conn
    .onWithHttp("ws-event", {
      url: "/invalid/endpoint/url",
      method: "get",
      headers: { ...someHeaders },
    })
    .catch((e: Error) => {
      return {
        msg: e.message,
      };
    });
  expect(res).toEquals({ msg: "Request failed with status code 404" });
  conn.close();
});
  • Invalid websocket event name.
test("should fail with invalid ws event.", async () => {
  const [conn] = await wsrequest(app, { config: { path } });
  conn.emit("ping", data);
  const res = await conn.on("no-pong").catch((e: Error) => {
    return {
      msg: e.message,
    };
  });
  expect(res).toEquals({ msg: "Invalid WS event." });
  con.close();
});

If you wanna test a remote server, you should use the remote function instead of local and pass the uri as a parameter.

  • Remote connection status.
const { wsrequest } = require("wsreq");
const uri = "http://example.com";

test("should be able to connect.", async () => {
  const [conn] = await wsrequest(uri, { config: { path: "/ws/path" } });
  expect(conn.connection.connected).toEqual(true);
  expect(conn.connection.id).toBeDefined();
  conn.close();
});

Everything else works just the same.

Options

timeout

  • Set a new request timeout.
  • Default to 3000 ms.

clients

  • Set the number of client connections to the websocket server.
  • Default to 1.

config

  • Set the connection configuration of the websocket client.
  • See more in Socket.io client docs.

API

.emit( name, data )

  • Emits a new event to the websocket server.

.on( name )

  • Adds a new event listener to the socket.

.onWithHttp( name, options )

  • Adds a new event listener to the socket and makes a http request to force the emit event in http server.
  • Use only if you want to test emits from APIs.

.multiple( callback )

async ({ http, ws }) => Promise<data>
  • Allows to make multi-requests.
  • Gives you access to the socket and http request modules.
  • Returns data from callback or void if no return statement is present.

.connection

  • Gives you access to the socket id and connection status.

.close( httpServer? )

  • Close the connection.
  • If httpServer is set to true, it closes the http.Server too (local only).
  • httpServer is set to true for default, change if you only need to close the websocket.

Notes

I just wrote it because I need it. ;)
