Exploring Mockirinha: A Swift Library for Effortless API Mocking

Are you looking to enhance your Swift unit testing game, especially when it comes to API calls? Look no further! Meet Mockirinha, a Swift library designed to simplify API mocking for effortless unit testing.

What is Mockirinha?

Mockirinha is a lightweight Swift library that provides a convenient way to mock API responses during unit testing. It is designed with simplicity in mind, allowing developers to easily stub responses, capture requests, and verify behaviors within their tests.

Key Features:

  • DSL for Easy Mocking: Mockirinha comes with a Domain-Specific Language (DSL) that simplifies the process of defining mock responses.

  • Context-Aware Testing: The library introduces the concept of context, ensuring that tests remain isolated and do not interfere with each other, even when executed in parallel.

  • Behavior Verification: Mockirinha facilitates the verification of expected behaviors, making it ideal for testing complex scenarios with multiple API calls.

Getting Started

To explore and implement Mockirinha in your Swift projects, check out the Mockirinha repository on GitHub. The codebase is well-documented, serving as an excellent resource for studying and understanding the library's implementation.
