apitest-jsonpath

This library provides jsonpath assertions for apitest.

Installation

go get -u github.com/steinfletcher/apitest-jsonpath

Examples

Equal

Equal checks for value equality when the json path expression returns a single result. Given the response is {"id": 12345}

apitest.New(handler).
	Get("/hello").
	Expect(t).
	Assert(jsonpath.Equal(`$.id`, float64(12345))).
	End()

We can also provide more complex expected values. Given the response {"message": "hello", "id": 12345}.

apitest.New().
	Handler(handler).
	Get("/hello").
	Expect(t).
	Assert(jsonpath.Equal(`$`, map[string]interface{}{"message": "hello", "id": float64(12345)})).
	End()

NotEqual

NotEqual checks that the json path expression value is not equal to given value

apitest.New(handler).
	Get("/hello").
	Expect(t).
	Assert(jsonpath.NotEqual(`$.a`, float64(56789))).
	End()

we can also provide more complex expected values

apitest.New().
	Handler(handler).
	Get("/hello").
	Expect(t).
	Assert(jsonpath.NotEqual(`$`, map[string]interface{}{"a": "hello", "b": float64(56789)})).
	End()

given the response is {"a": "hello", "b": 12345}

Contains

When the jsonpath expression returns an array, use Contains to assert that the expected value is contained in the result. Given the response is {"a": 12345, "b": [{"key": "c", "value": "result"}]}, we can assert on the result like so

apitest.New().
	Handler(handler).
	Get("/hello").
	Expect(t).
	Assert(jsonpath.Contains(`$.b[? @.key=="c"].value`, "result")).
	End()

Present / NotPresent

Use Present and NotPresent to check the presence of a field in the response without evaluating its value.

apitest.New().
	Handler(handler).
	Get("/hello").
	Expect(t).
	Assert(jsonpath.Present(`$.a`)).
	Assert(jsonpath.NotPresent(`$.password`)).
	End()

Matches

Use Matches to check that a single path element of type string, number or bool matches a regular expression.

apitest.New().
	Handler(handler).
	Get("/hello").
	Expect(t).
	Assert(jsonpath.Matches(`$.a`, `^[abc]{1,3}$`)).
	End()

Len

Use Len to check to the length of the returned value. Given the response is {"items": [1, 2, 3]}, we can assert on the length of items like so

apitest.New().
	Handler(handler).
	Get("/articles?category=golang").
	Expect(t).
	Assert(jsonpath.Len(`$.items`, 3)).
	End()

GreaterThan

Use GreaterThan to enforce a minimum length on the returned value.

apitest.New().
	Handler(handler).
	Get("/articles?category=golang").
	Expect(t).
	Assert(jsonpath.GreaterThan(`$.items`, 2)).
	End()

LessThan

Use LessThan to enforce a maximum length on the returned value.

apitest.New().
	Handler(handler).
	Get("/articles?category=golang").
	Expect(t).
	Assert(jsonpath.LessThan(`$.items`, 4)).
	End()

JWT matchers

JWTHeaderEqual and JWTPayloadEqual can be used to assert on the contents of the JWT in the response (it does not verify a JWT).

func TestX(t *testing.T) {
	apitest.New().
		HandlerFunc(myHandler).
		Post("/login").
		Expect(t).
		Assert(jsonpath.JWTPayloadEqual(fromAuthHeader, `$.sub`, "1234567890")).
		Assert(jsonpath.JWTHeaderEqual(fromAuthHeader, `$.alg`, "HS256")).
		End()
}

func fromAuthHeader(res *http.Response) (string, error) {
	return res.Header.Get("Authorization"), nil
}

Chain

Chain is used to provide several assertions at once

Assert(
	jsonpath.Chain().
		Equal("a", "1").
		NotEqual("b", "2").
		Present("c").
		End(),
).

Root

Root is used to avoid duplicated paths in body expectations. For example, instead of writing:

Assert(jsonpath.Equal("a.b.c.d", "a").
Assert(jsonpath.Equal("a.b.c.e", "b").
Assert(jsonpath.Equal("a.b.c.f", "c").

it is possible to define a root path like so

Assert(
	jsonpath.Root("$.a.b.c").
		Equal("d", "a").
		Equal("e", "b").
		Equal("f", "c").
		End(),
).
