<div class="description"><p>Fake HTTP backend implementation suitable for unit testing application that use the
<a href="api/ng.$http"><code>$http service</code></a>.</p>
<p><em>Note</em>: For fake http backend implementation suitable for end-to-end testing or backend-less
development please see <a href="api/ngMockE2E.$httpBackend">e2e $httpBackend mock</a>.</p>
<p>During unit testing, we want our unit tests to run quickly and have no external dependencies so
we dont want to send <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en/xmlhttprequest">XHR</a> or
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSONP">JSONP</a> requests to a real server. All we really need is
to verify whether a certain request has been sent or not, or alternatively just let the
application make requests, respond with pre-trained responses and assert that the end result is
what we expect it to be.</p>
<p>This mock implementation can be used to respond with static or dynamic responses via the
<code>expect</code> and <code>when</code> apis and their shortcuts (<code>expectGET</code>, <code>whenPOST</code>, etc).</p>
<p>When an Angular application needs some data from a server, it calls the $http service, which
sends the request to a real server using $httpBackend service. With dependency injection, it is
easy to inject $httpBackend mock (which has the same API as $httpBackend) and use it to verify
the requests and respond with some testing data without sending a request to real server.</p>
<p>There are two ways to specify what test data should be returned as http responses by the mock
backend when the code under test makes http requests:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>$httpBackend.expect</code> - specifies a request expectation</li>
<li><code>$httpBackend.when</code> - specifies a backend definition</li>
</ul>
<h3>Request Expectations vs Backend Definitions</h3>
<p>Request expectations provide a way to make assertions about requests made by the application and
to define responses for those requests. The test will fail if the expected requests are not made
or they are made in the wrong order.</p>
<p>Backend definitions allow you to define a fake backend for your application which doesn't assert
if a particular request was made or not, it just returns a trained response if a request is made.
The test will pass whether or not the request gets made during testing.</p>
<table class="table">
<tr><th width="220px"></th><th>Request expectations</th><th>Backend definitions</th></tr>
<tr>
<th>Syntax</th>
<td>.expect(...).respond(...)</td>
<td>.when(...).respond(...)</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>Typical usage</th>
<td>strict unit tests</td>
<td>loose (black-box) unit testing</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>Fulfills multiple requests</th>
<td>NO</td>
<td>YES</td>

<tr>

<td>YES</td>
<td>NO</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>Request required</th>
<td>YES</td>
<td>NO</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>Response required</th>
<td>optional (see below)</td>
<td>YES</td>
</tr>
</table>
<p>In cases where both backend definitions and request expectations are specified during unit
testing, the request expectations are evaluated first.</p>
<p>If a request expectation has no response specified, the algorithm will search your backend
definitions for an appropriate response.</p>
<p>If a request didn't match any expectation or if the expectation doesn't have the response
defined, the backend definitions are evaluated in sequential order to see if any of them match
the request. The response from the first matched definition is returned.</p>
<h3>Flushing HTTP requests</h3>
<p>The $httpBackend used in production, always responds to requests with responses asynchronously.
If we preserved this behavior in unit testing, we'd have to create async unit tests, which are
hard to write, follow and maintain. At the same time the testing mock, can't respond
synchronously because that would change the execution of the code under test. For this reason the
mock $httpBackend has a <code>flush()</code> method, which allows the test to explicitly flush pending
requests and thus preserving the async api of the backend, while allowing the test to execute
synchronously.</p>
