Supercool assertion library for Cypress to verify API responses

Install

npm install --save-dev cypress-should

Usage

In your cypress/support/index.js file, add the following:

require('cypress-should');

or if you are using TypeScript:

import 'cypress-should';

Then in your tests, you can use the should command with custom assertions to verify the response:

cy.request('/api/users')
  .should('have.status', 200)
  .and('have.statusMessage', 'OK')
  .and('have.contentType', 'application/json')
  .and('have.body', { name: 'John Doe' });

or

cy.request('/api/users').should((response) => {
  expect(response).to.have.status(200);
  expect(response).to.have.statusMessage('OK');
  expect(response).to.haveContentType('application/json');
  expect(response).to.have.body({ name: 'John Doe' });
});
