#ts-mountebank

A simple node package that lets you manage your Mountebank test server. Based on https://www.npmjs.com/package/@toincrease/node-mountebank, but

  • updated/removed vulnerable packages,
  • modernized the code and
  • added ability to create very simple proxies.

Usage

Pre-Requisite

Install Mountebank:

npm install -g mountebank --production

Start Mountebank:

mb 

I recommend reading the Mountebank documentation for a deeper understanding of their API.

Create Imposter

const mb = new Mountebank();
let imposter = new Imposter().withPort(port).withStub(
    new DefaultStub(testPath, HttpMethod.GET, 'testbody', 222));
await mb.createImposter(imposter);

Create Debug Proxy

A simple proxy which always proxies the request and records the responses. This is useful to

  • 'debug' traffic during tests or
  • record traffic between APIs to use as template for building imposters.
// forward all requestsfrom port 5000 => 5001 and generate response stubs
let proxyImposter = new Imposter()
    .withPort(5000)
    .withStub(new Stub()
        .withProxy(new DebugProxy(`http://localhost:5001}`))); 

await mb.createImposter(proxyImposter);
