Usage notes

Example of mockRespond()

var connection;
backend.connections.subscribe(c => connection = c);
http.request('data.json').subscribe(res => console.log(res.text()));
connection.mockRespond(new Response(new ResponseOptions({ body: 'fake response' }))); //logs
'fake response'

Example of mockError()

var connection;
backend.connections.subscribe(c => connection = c);
http.request('data.json').subscribe(res => res, err => console.log(err)));
connection.mockError(new Error('error'));
