axios-light-my-request-adapter

library0.4.0jsnpmunverified

Axios adapter that uses Light my Request to inject HTTP requests without a real server, ideal for testing Fastify or Node.js HTTP handlers. Current stable version: 0.4.0. Release cadence is low (last release 2021). Key differentiator: enables in-process HTTP testing with Axios without network I/O, supporting both generic HTTP dispatch and Fastify applications. Requires Node >=20, axios ^1, and fastify >=4 as peer dependencies. Ships TypeScript types. Caveats include unsupported maxRedirects, socketPath, proxy, and httpAgent.

Verified usage

createLightMyRequestAdapter

✓ import { createLightMyRequestAdapter } from 'axios-light-my-request-adapter'

✗ const createLightMyRequestAdapter = require('axios-light-my-request-adapter').createLightMyRequestAdapter

ESM is supported; named import only. CommonJS works with require destructuring.

createLightMyRequestAdapterFromFastify

✓ import { createLightMyRequestAdapterFromFastify } from 'axios-light-my-request-adapter'

Named import, specific for Fastify integration. Requires fastify >=4.

Creates an Axios instance with Light my Request adapter using a plain Node.js HTTP dispatch handler, then makes a GET request.

import axios from 'axios'; import { createLightMyRequestAdapter } from 'axios-light-my-request-adapter'; function dispatch(req, res) { res.writeHead(200, { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' }); res.end(JSON.stringify({ data: 'Hello World!' })); } const instance = axios.create({ baseURL: 'http://localhost/', adapter: createLightMyRequestAdapter(dispatch), }); const res = await instance.get('/'); console.log(res.data);
