Laravel Better Http Fake
========================

[](#laravel-better-http-fake)

A package that provides improved helpers for faking Laravel HTTP client requests.

---

Current Laravel HTTP Fake Workflow
----------------------------------

[](#current-laravel-http-fake-workflow)

### Example Service Class

[](#example-service-class)

```
class Service {
    public function createInstance($data) {
        return $this->client()->post('/instances', $data)->json();
    }

    public function client(): PendingRequest {
        return Http::baseUrl('https://service.com')
            ->withToken(config('services.service.api_key'));
    }
}
```

### Testing Steps (Without This Package)

[](#testing-steps-without-this-package)

#### 1. Fake the response:

[](#1-fake-the-response)

```
Http::fake([
    'https://service.com/instances' => Http::response(['key' => 'value'], 204)
]);
```

#### 2. Trigger the request

[](#2-trigger-the-request)

```
(new Service)->createInstance(['bodyKey' => 'bodyValue']);
```

#### 3. Manually verify the request:

[](#3-manually-verify-the-request)

```
Http::assertSent(function($request) {
    return $request->url() == "https://service.com/instances" &&
           $request->method() == 'POST' &&
           $request->data() == ['bodyKey' => 'bodyValue'];
});
```

With Laravel Better Http Fake
-----------------------------

[](#with-laravel-better-http-fake)

### Basic Usage

[](#basic-usage)

```
(new Service)->client()
    ->shouldMakePostRequestTo('instances')
    ->withData(['bodyKey' => 'bodyValue'])  // Verify payload
    ->andRespondWith(['key' => 'value']);   // Fake response

(new Service)->createInstance($body);  // Execute
```

### Key Features

[](#key-features)

#### 1. Skip Request Verification

[](#1-skip-request-verification)

```
->doNotAssertSent();  // Only fake the response, skip checks
```

#### 2. Multiple Responses (Sequence)

[](#2-multiple-responses-sequence)

```
->andRespondWithSequence(
    Http::sequence([
        Http::response([]),  // First response
        Http::response([]),  // Second response
    ])
);
```

#### 3. Headers Validation

[](#3-headers-validation)

```
->withHeaders(['Header-Key' => 'Header-Value']);  // Verify headers
```

#### 4. File Upload Verification

[](#4-file-upload-verification)

```
->withFile('photo', 'profile.jpg');  // Verify file uploads
```

#### 5. Test Multiple HTTP Verbs

[](#5-test-multiple-http-verbs)

Supports all common HTTP methods with dedicated methods:

```
// GET Request
->shouldMakeGetRequestTo('users/1')
// PUT Request
->shouldMakePutRequestTo('users/1')
// PATCH Request
->shouldMakePatchRequestTo('profile')
// DELETE Request
->shouldMakeDeleteRequestTo('posts/123')
```

### Why Use This Package?

[](#why-use-this-package)

- **Simpler tests**: Combine faking + assertions in one chain
- **Clearer syntax**: Reads like plain English instructions
- **Fewer mistakes**: Automatic request validation by default
- **Time saver**: No more separate setup/verification steps
