Loopback remote testing helpers

The purpose of this library is to enable easy unit testing, mimicking the angular SDK behavior. also integrating with supertest library

How to use

Install

Write your tests

var app = require('./server/server');
var h = require('loopback-testing-helpers')(app);

describe('Api testing', function() {
  describe('People', function() {
    it('find()', function(done) {
      h.People.find().expect(200).end(done);
    });

    it('findOne()', function(done) {
      h.People.findOne({filter: {where: {eyes: 'brown'}}})
        .expect(200, done);
    });

    describe('Secured methods', function() {
      var user;

      before(function(done) {
        h.User.login({username: 'me', password: 'secret'})
          .expect(200)
          .end(function(err, res) {
            user = res.body;
            done(err);
          });
      });

      it('create()', function(done) {
        var person = {
          eyes: 'brown',
          hair: 'green',
          skin: 'blue'
        };

        h.People.create(person)
          .set('Authorization', user.accessToken)
          .expect(201)
          .end(function(err, res) {
            var person = res.body;
            expect(person).to.have.property('id');
            done(err);
          });
      });
    });    
  })
})

TODO

1. Helpers for handle accessToken
2. Write tests
3. Add promises?
4. no need res.body
