chai-graphql v4.0.0

chai-graphql

GraphQL response matcher for Chai assertion library

Works with both parsed JSON responses and local object responses.

Installation

npm install --save-dev chai-graphql

API

Methods will "unwrap" the data and/or payload from a response to make testing less repetitive.

• assert.graphQl(response, [expectedData]) performs a deep equals on the response.data or response.data.payload and expectedData if present. Throws if there are any errors in response.errors. Returns response.data
• assert.graphQLSubset(response, [subsetOfExpectedData]) performs a subset match of response.data or response.data.payload and expectedData if present. Throws if there are any errors in response.errors. Returns response.data
• assert.graphQLError(response, [errorMatcher]) throws if there are not any response.errors, returns the response.errors. errorMatcher can be a string, regex or an array of strings or regexes. In the string or regex form the error's message property will be match() by the errorMatcher. In the array form, each errorMatcher is tested against each error in order. If there a greater or fewer number of matchers than errors an it will throw.

Usage

In your setup

import chai from 'chai'
import chaiGraphQL from 'chai-graphql'
chai.use(chaiGraphQL)

in your spec.js

var goodResponse = {
  data: {
    foo: 'bar'
  }
}

// Passes
assert.graphQL(goodResponse, { foo: 'bar' })
assert.graphQLSubset(goodResponse, { foo: 'bar' })
assert.graphQL(goodResponse)
assert.graphQLSubset(goodResponse)
assert.graphQLSubset(goodResponse, { })
assert.notGraphQLError(goodResponse)
expect(goodResponse).to.be.graphQl({ foo: 'bar' })

// Fails
assert.graphQL(goodResponse, { foo: 'FAIL' })
assert.graphQL(goodResponse, { })
assert.graphQLError(goodResponse)
expect(goodResponse).to.be.graphQLError()

const badResponse = {
  errors: [
    {
      message: 'Error message',
      stack: 'Prints if present'
    },
    new GraphQLError('GraphQL Error Object'),
    new Error('Regular Error')
  ]
}

// Passes
assert.graphQLError(badResponse)
expect(badResponse).to.be.graphQLError()

assert.graphQLError(badResponse, 'Error message')
assert.graphQLError(badResponse, /GraphQL Error Object/)
assert.graphQLError(badResponse, [
  'Error message',
  /GraphQL Error Object/
])

// fails
assert.graphQL(badResponse, { foo: 'bar' })
assert.graphQL(badResponse)
assert.notGraphQLError(badResponse)
expect(badResponse).to.be.graphQl({ foo: 'bar' })
assert.graphQLError(badResponse, 'Rando Error')
assert.graphQLError(badResponse, [ 'Error message' ])
