Code that uses System.Net.Http.HttpClient will attempt to actually call/hit that Http endpoint.

To prevent this from happening in a unit test, some simple helpers are provided in this code library.

• Use Dependency Injection to hijack your request (this library makes it supa dupa easy to do this)
• Works with GET/POST/etc.
• Can provide wildcards (i.e. I don't care about the Request endpoint or the request HTTP Method, etc)
• Can provide multiple endpoints and see handle what is returned based on the particular request.
• Can be used to test network errors during transmission. i.e. can test when the HttpClient throws an exception because of .. well ... 💥

Package Name: WorldDomination.HttpClient.Helpers
CLI: install-package WorldDomination.HttpClient.Helpers

There's plenty more examples about to wire up:

• A really simple example
• Multiple endpoints at once
• Wildcard endpoints
• Throwing exceptions and handling it

For all the samples, please check out the Wiki page: Helper Examples

Special Ackowledgements

A special and sincere thank you to David Fowler (@davidfowl) who explained how I should be unit testing the HttpClient class and gave me the guidence to make this library. I was soooo on the wrong path - and he guided me back on track.

Thank you David! 👌 🍸 👾

Finally, unit testing HttpClient is now awesome and simple!
