Writing Test Driven Apps with http4k

on YouTube ↗39m

" summary

The talk shows concrete results: using http4k’s Server as a Function model and OKHttp clients yields handlers that run fully in memory or as real servers, enabling fast unit tests and slower remote tests that differ by an order of magnitude in runtime. It builds a sentence analyzer, a fake dictionary server and a real client, wires filters for call counting and lenses for JSON, uses dynamic ports to avoid clashes, and demonstrates contract tests that keep fakes faithful and the suite reliable.
