Mock Express request and response - Code with Hugo - Feb 18th 2019
Hot off the press
A guide to Express request and response mocking/stubbing with Jest or sinon: how to test Express handlers and middleware by calling them up with a mock request and reponse object built using Jest mocks or sinon to stub.
It’s the alternative way to unit test Express route handlers to “Testing an Express app with SuperTest, moxios and Jest”.
You can see the repo at github.com/HugoDF/mock-express-request-response.
The example used is a pretty true to life session management section of an application’s authentication system (bar the “not connected to a database” bit).
