hapi-test

Test hapi plugins with chaining method calls and assertions.

Assertions

Using the end method you can write your own assertions in anyway you want.

//chai assertions
var hapiTest = require('hapi-test'),
    plugin = require('your-plugin'),
    assert = require('chai').assert;

hapiTest({ plugins: [ plugin ] })
    .get('/persons')
    .end(function (result) {
        assert(result.statusCode === 200);
    });

Status code

If you want to test status code you can simply assert the statusCode number

hapiTest({ plugins: [ plugin ] })
    .get('/persons')
    .assert(200)

Headers

To test a header value you can do an assert with header name as first parameter and header value as second. Works with strings.

//string
hapiTest({plugins: [ plugin ] })
    .get('/person')
    .assert('connection', 'keep-alive');

Async testing

If you are using mocha it can handle promises:

it('should 200 on persons', function() {
    return hapiTest({ plugins: [ plugin ] })
        .get('/person')
        .assert(200)
});

Keep instance of server to speed up tests

If you have multiple tests on the same server / plugins you can create an instance of the server and use this in the constructor. This will speed up the tests as it does not need to create a new server and initialize the plugins for each test.

// example using mocha
var hapiTest = require('hapi-test'),
    Hapi = require('@hapi/hapi'),
    plugin = require('your-plugin'),
    assert = require('chai').assert;

var server;

before(function () {

    server = new Hapi.Server({
        port: 8888
    });

    return server.register({
        name: 'plugin',
        version: '0.0.1',
        plugin: plugin.register
    });

});

it('can now be used', function () {
    return hapiTest({ server })
        .get('/person')
        .assert(200);
});
