Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

Frisby

NPM Build
Status

A node.js NPM module that makes testing API endpoints easy, fast and fun.

Installation

Install Frisby from NPM:

npm install frisby

Creating Tests

Frisby tests start with frisby.create with a description of the test followed by one of get, post, put, delete, or head, and ending with run to generate the resulting jasmine spec test. There is a expectStatus method built in to more easily test HTTP status codes. Any other jasmine expect tests should be done inside the after callback.

Each set of unique sequences or API endpoint tests should be started with new frisby.toss method calls instead of trying to chain multiple HTTP requests together.


var frisby = require('../lib/frisby');

var URL = 'http://localhost:3000/';
var URL_AUTH = 'http://username:password@localhost:3000/';

frisby.globalSetup({ // globalSetup is for ALL requests
  request: {
    headers: { 'X-Auth-Token': 'fa8426a0-8eaf-4d22-8e13-7c1b16a9370c' }
  }
});

frisby.create('GET user johndoe')
  .get(URL + '/users/3.json')
  .expectStatus(200)
  .expectJSONTypes({
    id: Number,
    username: String,
    is_admin: Boolean
  })
  .expectJSON({
    id: 3,
    username: 'johndoe',
    is_admin: false
  })
  // 'afterJSON' automatically parses response body as JSON and passes it as an argument
  .afterJSON(function(user) {
  	// You can use any normal jasmine-style assertions here
  	expect(1+1).toEqual(2);

  	// Use data from previous result in next test
    frisby.create('Update user')
      .put(URL_AUTH + '/users/' + user.id + '.json', {tags: ['jasmine', 'bdd']})
      .expectStatus(200)
    .toss();
  })
.toss();

Any of the Jasmine matchers can be used inside the after and afterJSON callbacks to perform additional or custom tests on the response data.

By default, . is used to split paths, to change this:

frisby.globalSetup({
  pathSplitChar: "/"
});

Running Tests

Frisby is built on top of the jasmine BDD spec framework, and uses the excellent jasmine-node test runner to run spec tests in a specified target directory.

File naming conventions

Files must end with spec.js to run with jasmine-node.

Suggested file naming is to append the filename with _spec, like mytests_spec.js and moretests_spec.js

Install jasmine-node

npm install -g jasmine-node

Run it from the CLI

cd your/project
jasmine-node .
