Example

const assert = require('assert').strict;
const ApiTester = require('@single9/api-tester');

// Create your API schema
const schema = [
  {
    name: 'newPost',  // this is your api function name
    path: '/posts',
    method: 'post',
  },
  {
    name: 'getTodo',
    path: '/todos/:todoId',  // path parameter
    method: 'get',
  },
];

const api = new ApiTester(schema, {
  rootUrl: 'https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com',
  showResult: true
});

async function start() {
  try {
    await api.newPost({
      // Post Body

        body: 'bar!!',
        userId: 1

      // Tester
      tester: function(resp) {
        assert.equal(typeof(resp.id), 'number');
      }
    });

    await api.getTodo({
      pathParams: [{
        name: 'todoId', // replace `:todoId` in path
        value: 2
      }],
      tester: function(resp) {
        assert.equal(typeof(resp.title), 'string');
