#### Mocking repositories
Repositories are an abstraction layer for data retrival. They're used by enumerators to retrieve data from a cloud provider through its SDK. For example, each AWS service has a repository attached. We only implement repositories and methods we need. Mocking repositories is almost the same process than mocking the cloud provider's SDK.
Since there's an interface for each repository, generating a mock for it is quick and easy. Note the difference between the interface and struct here. Remember a struct cannot be mocked in Go.
```go
type ECRRepository interface {
ListAllRepositories() ([]*ecr.Repository, error)
}
type ecrRepository struct {
client ecriface.ECRAPI
cache cache.Cache
}
```
Here's an example that will create a mock for the ECR repository :
```
$ mockery --name=ECRRepository --dir pkg/remote/aws/repository/
```
`ECRRepository` is the name of the interface present in the `pkg/remote/aws/repository/` directory.
