Google Cloud PubSub Emulator

This package helps to start / stop Google Cloud Pub/Sub Emulator with javascript. Perfect to support unit testing when you need the local emulator start in unit / half integration test.

The wrapper sets PUBSUB_EMULATOR_HOST and GCLOUD_PROJECT environment variables.

From 2.0.0 @google-cloud/pubsub moved to the peer dependencies.

#Prerequisites To use the emulator you need to install Google Cloud SDK

#Installation

npm install google-pubsub-emulator --save-dev

#Usage I think the package is the most suitable for unit testing.

const {PubSub} = require('@google-cloud/pubsub');
const Emulator = require('google-pubsub-emulator');

describe('test suit', ()=>{
    process.env.GCLOUD_PROJECT = 'project-id'; // Set the gcloud project Id globally

    let emulator;
    
    before(()=>{
        const options = {
            debug:true, // if you like to see the emulator output
            topics: [
                'projects/project-id/topics/topic-1' // automatically created topic
            ]
        };
        
        emulator = new Emulator(options);
        
        return emulator.start();
    });
    
    after(()=>{
        return emulator.stop();
    });
    
    it('test case', ()=>{
        // your test
    });
})
