express-test-utils v1.1.6

express-test-utils

• Package for random express utility testing functions that I use regularly
• Documentation can be found here

Installation

npm install express-test-utils

Setup

• For versions 1.1.0 and above, you may encounter issues with Jest complaining about expect requiring just one argument. This occurs since my package relies on jest-expect-message to provide expect messages. To fix this, follow steps in Setup on jest-expect-message's readme. Which pretty much replaces the expect definition for your project

Usage

const testUtils = require("express-test-utils");

testUtils.testValidationChain(args);

// Or whatever else you wish to do

Functions

• See documentation linked above for full details

• testRequiredBodyValues(paths, body, chain) tests whether given body values are required by a validation chain

• checkForValidationErrors(req, chain, shouldBeNoErrors) checks for any validation errors against whether a request should pass a chain or not
• checkRequestAuthentication(req, auth) checks if a request passes authentication with given function or not
• checkForValidationErrors(req, res, chain) checks for any express-validator validation errors for running the given request through the given chain
