Feature Request: Option to always record tape for incoming reqeuest about talkback HOT 7 CLOSED

Oh I see...I didn't read your use-cases clearly enough 😅 Yeah, so your signature looks right then 3 possible options.

I have a PR open for my use case right now, I'll see later on today if it can be adapted to the more general case as well.

@thejettdurham @tartale I took some time to reply because I wasn't sure how to approach this problem.
I ended implementing the different modes but through the record option instead of introducing a new one.
You can read more here.
Feedback welcome 😃

@tartale for your pass-through case, you'd have to set record: RecordMode.DISABLED and fallbackMode: FallbackMode.PROXY.

I just released v1.10.0 which includes this feature.
Thanks for using talkback and for the useful idea.

I have a need for this feature as well, albeit with a caveat - for each request, I'd like to be able to provide a function that can examine the request, and decide to either:

• cache the request (i.e. record a tape, and use it later)
• not cache the request (i.e. record a tape, and don't use it later)
• pass-through the request (don't record a tape at all)

My use case is similar; talkback is sitting transparently between components and recording activity, but I'm using this for test isolation. In other words, some requests should go through to the component under test, and the others should be cached, or simply recorded.

What do you think?

from talkback.

Personally, I like the idea! So instead of having an option like cache: boolean, it would be shouldCache: Request => boolean, right? Would the predicate need anything else passed to it?

from talkback.

I was thinking it would be something like cacheMode: Request => enum, where enum is something like 'cache' || 'no-cache' || 'pass-through', since there's potentially three distinct behaviors?

from talkback.

Okay, sorry for the delay, but I got my PR updated to take a cacheMode option that provides the desired behavior. Now we play the waiting game, it seems 😄

@ijpiantanida cool, thanks! I updated, will try this out
