Serenity/JS REST

@serenity-js/rest module lets your actors interact with and test HTTP REST APIs.

Installation

To install this module, as well as axios HTTP client, run the following command in your computer terminal:

npm install --save-dev @serenity-js/core @serenity-js/rest @serenity-js/assertions axios

Example test

import { actorCalled } from '@serenity-js/core'
import { CallAnApi, DeleteRequest, GetRequest, LastResponse, PostRequest, Send } from '@serenity-js/rest'
import { Ensure, equals, startsWith } from '@serenity-js/assertions'

const actor = actorCalled('Apisit').whoCan(CallAnApi.at('https://myapp.com/api'))

await actor.attemptsTo(
    // no users present in the system
    Send.a(GetRequest.to('/users')),
    Ensure.that(LastResponse.status(), equals(200)),
    Ensure.that(LastResponse.body(), equals([])),

    // create a new test user account
    Send.a(PostRequest.to('/users').with({
        login: 'tester',
        password: 'P@ssword1',
    }),
    Ensure.that(LastResponse.status(), equals(201)),
    Ensure.that(LastResponse.header('Location'), startsWith('/users')),

    // delete the test user account
    Send.a(DeleteRequest.to(LastResponse.header('Location'))),
    Ensure.that(LastResponse.status(), equals(200)),
)
