fake-data-repository

Provides access to fake data file system repository to help with testing.

Using FakeData Repository

The FakeData Repository class is a useful class for locating a fake response file based on the endpoint you provide.

Example:

const fakeDataRepo = new FakeDataRepository('test/fakedata/data/api')
const fakeDataResponse = fakeDataRepo.responses().get('/v1/Toronto')

The FakeDataRepository constructor takes a base path where it expects to find fake data.

To get fake response data from a GET request the method responses() is first called to tell the object to look in the responses folder, then the method get() is called taking a path as an argument to find the fakedata file. Other supported methods are put(), post(), and delete().

Look at unit tests for more example usages.
