TL;DR
-----

[](#tldr)

For writing tests and mocking Http responses using files saved in my `tests/fixtures` folder. Yes some people hit the real API and this has it's place but when working with APIs it is nice and faster not to hit the API for a lot of reasons.

[![](logo.png)](logo.png)

Overview
--------

[](#overview)

For all my projects that talk to APIs I will save copies of the API results to my tests folder and use that data to test against.

For example if I GET "" and get back:

```
{
    "baz": "boo"
}
```

Then I save that as a file to my `tests/fixtures/foo_get_response.json`

Then in my test I will mock it with Http or other tool

```
$data = get_fixture('foo_get_response.json')
Http::fake(
    [
        'foo.com/*' => Http::response($data, 200)
    ]
);
```

Before I had this helper I would have to write this all out:

```
$data = File::get(base_path(sprintf(
            'tests/fixtures/%s',
            $file_name
        )));

$data = json_decode($results, true);
```

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

You can install the package via composer:

```
composer require alnutile/fixtures
```

Then (since I can not figure out a way around this) add it to your composer.json file:

```
    "autoload": {
        "psr-4": {
            "App\\": "app/",
            //some stuff is here
        },
        "files": [
            "vendor/alnutile/fixtures/src/helpers.php"
        ]
    },
```

The run:

```
composer dump
```
