NightSleep

The library helps you to implement live tests.

We should test a lot of cases in live: timeouts, server errors and so on.

Current implementation is working only with Express.

Initialization

npm install nightsleep --save

Usage

Example of usage with Express

const NigthSleep =  require('../index');
const express = require('express');
const bodyParser = require('body-parser');
 
const app = express();
 
const config = require('./example.json');
 
app.use(bodyParser.json()); // for parsing application/json
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: true })); // for parsing application/x-www-form-urlencoded
 
 
NigthSleep.initRoutes(app, console, config);
 
app.listen(3000, () => console.info('App listening on port 3000!'));
 

Structure of route-configuration.

Example of config-file is here

First route that can process a request will do it and send response without propagation it into next routes.

property	meaning
url	request url
method	HTTP-method(capitalized)
status	returns as a result of successful request
body	response body
params	object with properties that match parameter names in the url and as value is array with values
bodyParams	the same as params but for body parameters
queryParams	the same as params but for query parameters

Also instead of each response we can get server-error or timeout, for this need to use additional headers:

header	value
x-night-sleep	'timeout'(timeout based on value-header) OR 'server-error'(returns 501)
x-night-sleep-value	value for timeout

Request reaches success if all parameters are valid and no special headers were sent. It returns 'status' and 'body'.

An example - the enpoint for two customers, customerNumber should be sent in url, that returns 200 and body with benefits:

{
  "url": "/subscription-service/members/:customerNumber",
  "method": "GET",
  "status": 200,
  "body": {
    "benefits": {
      "VOUCHER_OPTION": "MOCK-BENEFIT"
    }
  },
  "params": {
    "customerNumber": ["304045544", "304063444"]
  }
}
