Testing

Mock Data

Wiremock has been used to create a stateful mock of the API, through the use of scenarios. These configuration files are stored as JSON files in the ./test/mocks/mappings directory.

This can be run by using:

yarn run mock

The frontend can be configured to use this server through changing two environment variables:

• NODE_ENV = development - this enables a middleware that passes the x-scenario-id header from web requests through to the API.
• API_BASE_URL = http://localhost:8090 - this points the frontend to the wiremock instance.

A browser extension that can modify headers can be used to set the value of the header in a web browser. Example - Mod Header

Request properties

In order to support consistent use of headers for API requests. middleware is applied to add an instance of axios on each reqest onto req.axios. This is then reused in any code that uses the API.
