Vinyl
A flexible Swift library for replaying HTTP requests in unit tests, inspired by VCR.
What is Vinyl?
Vinyl is a Swift library for replaying HTTP requests in unit tests, similar to VCR in Ruby. It allows developers to record and playback network interactions, ensuring tests are fast, reliable, and independent of external services. It solves the problem of flaky network-dependent tests by providing pre-recorded responses.
iOS, macOS, and tvOS developers who write unit tests for network-heavy applications and use dependency injection in their architecture.
Developers choose Vinyl for its flexibility in request matching, support for multiple recording modes, and compatibility with existing DVR cassettes, making it a versatile alternative to stricter mocking libraries.
