DynamoDB Mock

This is a relatively simple wrapper around dynalite to make it easier to use in a test environment. Requests are intercepted with msw, so no actual server or port is used.

Usage

This package provides msw request handlers, the msw server itself is managed by your own test setup. Pass the handlers to setupServer() so that they survive server.resetHandlers():

import { mockDynamoDB } from "@labdigital/mock-dynamodb";
import { setupServer } from "msw/node";
import { afterAll, afterEach, beforeAll } from "vitest";

export const mddb = mockDynamoDB({ endpoint: "http://localhost:4000" });
export const server = setupServer(...mddb.getHandlers());

const client = new DynamoDB({
	endpoint: "http://localhost:4000",
	region: "local",
	credentials: {
		accessKeyId: "fake-x",
		secretAccessKey: "fake",
	},
});

beforeAll(() => server.listen({ onUnhandledRequest: "error" }));
afterEach(() => mddb.reset()); // Clear all data
afterAll(() => server.close());

Every accessKeyId gets its own store, so tests using different credentials don't see each other's data. reset() clears the data of all of them.

If you need to bind to a server that is already running, use registerHandlers() instead. Note that those handlers are removed again by server.resetHandlers(), so they have to be registered per test:

beforeEach(() => mddb.registerHandlers(server));

Combining with other mocks

Use a single msw server for all of your mocks, running more than one server per process is not supported by msw:

const server = setupServer(...ctMock.getHandlers(), ...mddb.getHandlers());

Migrating from 0.2.x

Version 0.3.0 replaced nock with msw, which means this package no longer starts an interceptor of its own. msw is a peer dependency now and has to be installed alongside it.

 const mddb = mockDynamoDB({ endpoint: "http://localhost:4000" });
+const server = setupServer(...mddb.getHandlers());
+server.listen();

 mddb.reset();
-mddb.stop();
+server.close();

start() and stop() throw an error pointing at the above, they are removed in 1.0.
