README

Pact

Pact is a dependency registry for Elixir to make testing dependencies easier.

Why?

Because testing Elixir dependencies could be a lot better. Why clutter up your code injecting dependencies when a process can handle it for you?

  • You can declare your modules instead of passing them around like state.
  • You can replace dependencies in a block context for easy testing.
  • It makes your code cleaner.

Usage

In your application code:

defmodule MyApp.Pact do
  use Pact

  register "http", HTTPoison
end

MyApp.Pact.start_link

defmodule MyApp.Users do
  def all do
    MyApp.Pact.get("http").get!("http://foobar.com/api/users")
  end
end

In your tests:

defmodule MyApp.UserTest do
  use ExUnit.Case
  require MyApp.Pact

  test "requests the corrent endpoint" do
    fakeHTTP = MyApp.Pact.generate :http do
      def get!(url) do
        send self(), {:called, url}
      end
    end

    MyApp.Pact.replace "http", fakeHTTP do
      MyApp.Users.all
    end

    assert_receive {:called, "http://foobar.com/api/users"}
  end
end

You can find more information in the documentation.
