This library parses cookies from the response header and populates the response object with an object containing key-value pairs, where each cookie name is a key and its corresponding cookie value is the value.

Usage/Examples

supertest-cookie-parser exposes a function that, when invoked with an HTTP response object as the argument, gives you access to the parsed cookies through the response.cookies property.

const request = require("supertest");
const parseCookies = require("supertest-cookie-parser");
const server = require("./startup/server");

describe("check sessionID", () => {
  it("should parse cookies & check whether sessionID exists or not", async () => {
    const response = await request(server).get("/");

    parseCookies(response); // A response object must be passed as the arugment

    expect(response.cookies).toHaveProperty("sessionID");

    expect(response.cookies.sessionID).not.toBeNull();
  });
});
