moq VS counterfeiter

``` https://github.com/matryer/moq

Currently trying out https://github.com/matryer/moq for the first time, and quite positive so far. Haven't pushed it enough yet to give a real opinion.

I like moq much better than gomock. Much simpler and easier to work with.

Just replaced mockery generated mocks with https://github.com/matryer/moq Alot cleaner imo at least for me

btw, you can avoid making such mocks manually by using https://github.com/matryer/moq, which will generate such mocking code for you

I like the way of matryer/moq a lot. Basically, it generates a func for each of the methods of an interface, therefore the behaviour is clear to everyone without too much abstraction.

This one is easy to use, simple, powerful and idiomatic https://github.com/matryer/moq

then just replace whole function, don't generate manually the mock '__') or it would get out of hand fast, you can just use codegen that static typed like https://github.com/maxbrunsfeld/counterfeiter

Yes, that's a good way to do that; there are a lot of packages that allow you to mock and spy the calls if you're looking for one that generates the code for you I can recommend counterfeiter, I also have a short blog that covers it.

I prefer https://github.com/maxbrunsfeld/counterfeiter

counterfeiter is another tool, it creates mocks, stubs and spies; here is a short blog I wrote covering it.

for dependency injection I suggest you use https://github.com/maxbrunsfeld/counterfeiter, but if you using really fast database (that can spawn fast using docker and has fast trx/sec) you can use it directly without dependency injection with https://github.com/ory/dockertest

Agree with u/mmknightx there is a tool that assist in creating fake or mock classes for your interfaces https://github.com/maxbrunsfeld/counterfeiter

Another alternative to use would be counterfeiter, it generates a type from your interface that could be used as a mock, stub or spy. I wrote a short post covering that tool if you're interested.
