AutoMoqSlim

AutoMoqSlim is a simple "auto-mocking" container inspired by AutoMoq with fewer dependencies and compatible with .NET Core

What is it for?

Suppose you have a class with multiple dependencies

public ClassForTesting(IMockMe mockMe, INoNeedToMock noNeedToMock, ILogger logger)

But for your test you need to mock only one of them. In any case, in order to create an instance of the target class you need to create stubs for all of its dependencies manually

var mock = new Mock<IMockMe>();
mock.Setup(/*setup*/)
// continue to setup your mock
var stub1 = new Mock<INoNeedToMock>();
var stub2 = new Mock<ILogger>();
var target = new ClassForTesting(mock.Object, stub1.Object, stub2.Object);

And the number of unused dependencies may be much higher This package makes it a little bit easier. In this case it would be something like

var autoMoqer = new AutoMoqSlim();
autoMoqer.GetMock<IMockMe>()
 .Setup(/*setup*/)
// continue to setup your mock
var target = autoMoqer.Create<ClassForTesting>();
