**input-mocker** is *simple* and *easy-to-use* tool for mocking of prompt functions.

You can mock call to a `sys.stdin.readline in order to programmatically send user input.


## Installation

You can install **input-mocker** from *PyPi*:

`pip install input-mocker`

or from GitHub:

`pip install https://github.com/ciotto/input-mocker/archive/master.zip`


## Usage

Using **input-mocker** is easy:

```
>>> from input_mocker import InputMocker
>>> with InputMocker():
... raw_input() # Or input() for Python3
... raw_input()
... raw_input()
... raw_input()
...
'y'
'n'
'y'
'n'
```

By default **input-mocker** send alternated 'y'/'n' response.

If you want to get random response initialize instance with `random=True` paramiter:

```
>>> from input_mocker import InputMocker
>>> with InputMocker(random=True):
... raw_input()
... raw_input()
... raw_input()
... raw_input()
...
'y'
'y'
'n'
'y'
```

Is also possible to use a customized set of inputs:

```
>>> with InputMocker(inputs=['Foo', '42']):
... raw_input('A question: ')
... raw_input('What's the ultimate answer to life, the universe, and everything? ')
...
Question: 'Foo'
What's the ultimate answer to life, the universe, and everything? '42'
```

Sometimes probably you'll prefer to use the decorator:

```
>>> import input_mocker
>>> @input_mocker.patch(random=True)
... def my_method():
... print(raw_input('question 1: '))
... print(raw_input('question 2: '))
... print(raw_input('question 3: '))
... print(raw_input('question 4: '))
...
>>> my_method()
question 1: y
question 1: y
question 1: y
question 1: n
```

**input-mocker** work with `sys.stdin.readline()`, `input()` and `raw_input()`.
