+# Mocking Request
+
+Undici has its own mocking [utility](../api/MockAgent.md). It allow us to intercept undici HTTP requests and return mocked values instead. It can be useful for testing purposes.
+
+Example:
+
+```js
+// bank.mjs
+import { request } from 'undici'
+
+export async function bankTransfer(recipient, amount) {
+ const { body } = await request('http://localhost:3000/bank-transfer',
+ {
+ method: 'POST',
+ headers: {
+ 'X-TOKEN-SECRET': 'SuperSecretToken',
+ },
+ body: JSON.stringify({
+ recipient,
+ amount
+ })
+ }
+ )
+ return await body.json()
+}
+```
+
+And this is what the test file looks like:
+
+```js
+// index.test.mjs
+import { strict as assert } from 'assert'
+import { MockAgent, setGlobalDispatcher, } from 'undici'
+import { bankTransfer } from './bank.mjs'
+
+const mockAgent = new MockAgent();
+
+setGlobalDispatcher(mockAgent);
+
+// Provide the base url to the request
+const mockPool = mockAgent.get('http://localhost:3000');
+
+// intercept the request
+mockPool.intercept({
+ path: '/bank-transfer',
+ method: 'POST',
+ headers: {
+ 'X-TOKEN-SECRET': 'SuperSecretToken',
+ },
+ body: JSON.stringify({
+ recipient: '1234567890',
+ amount: '100'
+ })
+}).reply(200, {
+ message: 'transaction processed'
+})
+
+const success = await bankTransfer('1234567890', '100')
+
+assert.deepEqual(success, { message: 'transaction processed' })
+
+// if you dont want to check whether the body or the headers contain the same value
+// just remove it from interceptor
+mockPool.intercept({
+ path: '/bank-transfer',
+ method: 'POST',
+}).reply(400, {
+ message: 'bank account not found'
+})
+
+const badRequest = await bankTransfer('1234567890', '100')
+
+assert.deepEqual(badRequest, { message: 'bank account not found' })
+```

+
+## Debug Mock Value
+
+When the interceptor and the request options are not the same, undici will automatically make a real HTTP request. To prevent real requests from being made, use `mockAgent.disableNetConnect()`:
+
+```js
+const mockAgent = new MockAgent();
+
+setGlobalDispatcher(mockAgent);
+mockAgent.disableNetConnect()
+
+// Provide the base url to the request
+const mockPool = mockAgent.get('http://localhost:3000');
+
+mockPool.intercept({
+ path: '/bank-transfer',
+ method: 'POST',
+}).reply(200, {
+ message: 'transaction processed'
+})
+
+const badRequest = await bankTransfer('1234567890', '100')
+// Will throw an error
+// MockNotMatchedError: Mock dispatch not matched for path '/bank-transfer':
+// subsequent request to origin http://localhost:3000 was not allowed (net.connect disabled)
+```
+
+## Reply with data based on request
+
+If the mocked response needs to be dynamically derived from the request parameters, you can provide a function instead of an object to `reply`:
+
+```js
+mockPool.intercept({
+ path: '/bank-transfer',
+ method: 'POST',
+ headers: {
+ 'X-TOKEN-SECRET': 'SuperSecretToken',
+ },
+ body: JSON.stringify({
+ recipient: '1234567890',
+ amount: '100'
+ })
+}).reply(200, (opts) => {
+ // do something with opts
+
+ return { message: 'transaction processed' }
+})
+```
+
+in this case opts will be
+
+```
+{
+ method: 'POST',
+ headers: { 'X-TOKEN-SECRET': 'SuperSecretToken' },
+ body: '{"recipient":"1234567890","amount":"100"}',
+ origin: 'http://localhost:3000',
+ path: '/bank-transfer'
+}
+```
