To send fake request to a Koa application without starting a http server.

Sending multipart data will be supported later.

$ npm i koa-sham --save

const Koa = require( 'koa' );
const sham = require( 'koa-sham' );

const app = new Koa();

app.use( ctx => {
    ctx.body = { status : 1 };
} );

sham( app, ( err, res, body ) => {
    console.log( body ); // { status : 1 }
} );

sham( app, {
    qs : {
        x : 1
    }
}, ( err, res, body ) => {
    console.log( body ); // { status : 1 }
} );

sham( app, '/path', { https: true }, ( err, res, body ) => {
    console.log( body ); // { status : 1 }
} );

sham( app, { 
    method : 'POST',
    body : {
        x : 1
    }
}, ( err, res, body ) => {
    console.log( body ); // { status : 1 }
} );

sham( app, { promise : true } ).then( data => {
    console.log( data );
} );

sham( app ).pipe( process.stdout );

Returns a Readable Stream by default, but can be changed by using { promise : true } in options.
