//! Structures for local dispatching of requests, primarily for testing. //! //! This module allows for simple request dispatching against a local, //! non-networked instance of Rocket. The primary use of this module is to unit //! and integration test Rocket applications by crafting requests, dispatching //! them, and verifying the response. //! //! # Usage //! //! This module contains a [`Client`] structure that is used to create //! [`LocalRequest`] structures that can be dispatched against a given //! [`Rocket`] instance. Usage is straightforward: //! //! 1. Construct a `Rocket` instance that represents the application. //! //! ```rust //! let rocket = rocket::ignite(); //! # let _ = rocket; //! ``` //! //! 2. Construct a `Client` using the `Rocket` instance. //! //! ```rust //! # use rocket::local::Client; //! # let rocket = rocket::ignite(); //! let client = Client::new(rocket).expect("valid rocket instance"); //! # let _ = client; //! ``` //! //! 3. Construct requests using the `Client` instance. //! //! ```rust //! # use rocket::local::Client; //! # let rocket = rocket::ignite(); //! # let client = Client::new(rocket).unwrap(); //! let req = client.get("/"); //! # let _ = req; //! ``` //! //! 3. Dispatch the request to retrieve the response. //! //! ```rust //! # use rocket::local::Client; //! # let rocket = rocket::ignite(); //! # let client = Client::new(rocket).unwrap(); //! # let req = client.get("/"); //! let response = req.dispatch(); //! # let _ = response; //! ``` //! //! All together and in idiomatic fashion, this might look like: //! //! ```rust //! use rocket::local::Client; //! //! let client = Client::new(rocket::ignite()).expect("valid rocket"); //! let response = client.post("/") //! .body("Hello, world!") //! .dispatch(); //! # let _ = response; //! ``` //! //! # Unit/Integration Testing //! //! This module can be used to test a Rocket application by constructing //! requests via `Client` and validating the resulting response. As an example, //! consider the following complete "Hello, world!" application, with testing. //! //! ```rust //! #![feature(plugin)] //! #![plugin(rocket_codegen)] //! //! extern crate rocket; //! //! #[get("/")] //! fn hello() -> &'static str { //! "Hello, world!" //! } //! //! # fn main() { } //! #[cfg(test)] //! mod test { //! use super::{rocket, hello}; //! use rocket::local::Client; //! //! #[test] //! fn test_hello_world() { //! // Construct a client to use for dispatching requests. //! let client = Client::new(rocket::ignite().mount("/", routes![hello])); //! //! // Dispatch a request to 'GET /' and validate the response. //! let mut response = client.get("/").dispatch(); //! assert_eq!(response.body_string(), Some("Hello, world!".into())); //! } //! } //! ``` //! //!
