njs testing

[joh-klein]

I know this is called "nginx-testing" – but since you also provide njs binaries …

Can you provide a small example how to test things against njs? Would that even be possible? My usecase: since njs only has a subset of included objects etc it would be helpfull to unit test certain functions against that subset without doing the "nginx roundtrip".

I apologize in advance, if this is the wrong repo to open the issue!

I’d love to have this feature, but since njs doesn’t provide the modules loader (you cannot use import/require), it’s not so easy to implement it.

Since it’s not so important to me at this moment and I’m very busy with other projects, I’d need some funding to work on this feature.

Currently, it's possible to use imports in entrypoints pased to njs, look for my comment for more explanation:
