Mock `request` and `response` objects to run virtual requests against express.js

var app = require('express')();

app.get('/hello', function (req, res) {

  res.send('Hello World!')

var VirtualRequest = require('express-virtual-request').request;

var VirtualResponse = require('express-virtual-request').response;

var req = new VirtualRequest({

  method: 'GET',

  url: '/users',

  headers: {

    'Accept': 'application/json'

  }

});

// Response needs the request obj

var res = new VirtualResponse(req);

res.on('finish', function () {

  console.log(res.statusCode, res.statusMessage);

  console.log(res.headers);

  console.log('-------');

  console.log(res.body);

// put it into express middleware chain

app.handle(req, res);
