Light my Request

light-my-request is a utility library designed to simulate HTTP requests against Node.js HTTP servers without requiring the server to be bound to a network port or even in a listening state. This makes it an ideal tool for writing fast, isolated tests for server logic, as well as for debugging server-side applications. The current stable version is 6.6.0. The project maintains a consistent release cadence, frequently delivering minor versions and patch updates to address features, bug fixes, and performance improvements, as evidenced by the regular 6.x releases. A core differentiator of this library is its ability to interact directly with an `http.createServer` dispatch function, effectively injecting fake request and response objects without relying on actual socket connections. It provides flexibility by supporting both traditional callback-based request handling and modern Promise-based (async/await) patterns, alongside a fluent, chainable API for constructing complex requests.
