# reqwest_mock
[](https://crates.io/crates/reqwest_mock)
[](https://docs.rs/reqwest_mock/)
Provides a mockable [reqwest][]-like HTTP client.
Write your code generic over the [Client](trait.Client.html) trait,
and in production use [DirectClient](struct.DirectClient.html) while in testing
you can use [ReplayClient](struct.ReplayClient.html), which will record a request
the first time and replay it every time the exact same request is made in the
future.
## Examples
```rust
use reqwest_mock::{Client, DirectClient, ReplayClient, Error};
use reqwest_mock::header::UserAgent;
struct MyClient<C: Client> {
client: C,
}
fn new_client() -> MyClient<DirectClient> {
MyClient {
client: DirectClient::new()
}
}
#[cfg(test)]
fn test_client(path: &str) -> MyClient<ReplayClient> {
MyClient {
client: ReplayClient::new(path)
}
}
impl<C: Client> MyClient<C> {
/// For simplicity's sake we are not parsing the response but just extracting the
/// response body.
/// Also in your own code it might be a good idea to define your own `Error` type.
pub fn get_time(&self) -> Result<String, Error> {
let response = self.client
.get("https://now.httpbin.org/")
.header(UserAgent("MyClient".to_string()))
.send()?;
response.body_to_utf8()
}
}
```
