jquery.expectr

A small utility to mock $.get, $.post and $.getJSON calls while developing web apps.

It's supersimple. Let's say you want to do this call in your code:

$.getJSON("/hello/world", function(data){
	// do something with your json
	alert(data.foo);
});

I guess you are expecting a json object that looks more or less like this:

{
	foo: "bar"
}

So what should you do now? Remember that /hello/world is not available or not serving that JSON yet. Just import jquery.expectr.js (or the minified version) into your code

<script src="jquery.expectr.js"></script>

and write down what you expect

$.expectJSON(
	"/hello/world", // the URL you will call with the regular jQuery.getJSON
	{ foo: "bar" }, // the JSON object you are expecting
	500 // optional, to simulate a delay on the server response
);

I told you it was supersimple! :)
