Mock objects

README.md

This function creates a mock object from existing JavaScript objects.

var mock = function(a,b,c,d){d='prototype';for(c in a[d])b[d][c]=function(k){return function(){b(k,arguments)}}(c);return b};

// replace XMLHttpRequest with a mock
// the callback function should check if "method" is defined
XMLHttpRequest = mock(
  XMLHttpRequest,
  function(method, parameters){ 
    method && console.log(method, [].slice.call(parameters))
  }
)

// use on a page that has jQuery or Zepto loaded
$.ajax();

// output in console
// open ["GET", "http://zeptojs.com/", true]
// setRequestHeader ["X-Requested-With", "XMLHttpRequest"]
// send [undefined]

// augment with your own implementations

var MockXHR = function(method, parameters){ 
  method && console.log(method, [].slice.call(parameters))
}
XMLHttpRequest = mock(XMLHttpRequest, MockXHR);

MockXHR.prototype.setRequestHeader = function(mehtod, name, value){
  console.log('!!!OMG!!!', name, value);
}

$.ajax();

// open ["GET", "https://gist.github.com/980912", true]
// !!!OMG!!! XMLHttpRequest undefined
// !!!OMG!!! */* undefined
// !!!OMG!!! text/javascript undefined
// send [null]

// on a page that has Prototype.js loaded
new Ajax.Request('/')

// open ["POST", "/", true]
// setRequestHeader ["X-Requested-With", "XMLHttpRequest"]
// setRequestHeader ["X-Prototype-Version", "1.6.1"]
// setRequestHeader ["Accept", "text/javascript, text/html, application/xml, text/xml, */*"]
// setRequestHeader ["Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8"]
// send [""]

Pretty sweet code. Is there any reason you mention jQuery and Zepto in the readme? Is there any reason why it wouldn't work with other frameworks, like Prototype?

It will work fine, that's just required for the example.

Demo on a site that uses Prototype:

new Ajax.Request('/')

// open ["POST", "/", true]
// setRequestHeader ["X-Requested-With", "XMLHttpRequest"]
// setRequestHeader ["X-Prototype-Version", "1.6.1"]
// setRequestHeader ["Accept", "text/javascript, text/html, application/xml, text/xml, */*"]
// setRequestHeader ["Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8"]
// send [""]
