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

verity

integration testing for http requests

features:

  • content-type matching
  • application/json response testing with colorized diffs
  • responses are verified holistically, for better reporting
  • supports cookies
  • supports login strategies
  • easy url manipulation

basic usage:

  var v = verity("http://localhost:8080/path/");
  v.jsonMode();
  v.method("POST");
  v.body({"some" : "json"});
  v.expectStatus(200);
  v.expectBody({"success" : true});
  v.test(function(err, result) {
    // err is present if any assertions failed.
    // result contains assertion errors, body, headers, status, and cookies
  });

or using the chained interface:

  var v = verity("http://localhost:8080/path/")
          .jsonMode()
          .method("POST")
          .body({"some" : "json"})
          .expectStatus(200)
          .expectBody({"success" : true})
          .test(function(err, result) {
            // ...
          });

api (instance methods):

jsonMode()

Call jsonMode() to allow json request and response bodies to be automatically serialized and deserialized into javascript objects.

body(String/Object)

Call body() to set the contents of the request body. This should be a string unless jsonMode() has been called.

method(String)

Call method() with an HTTP method to set the HTTP request method.

header(name, value)

Call header() with a header name and value to set a single http request header.

setCookieFromString(String)

Call setCookieFromString() to pass a cookie string to set the cookie values of the request.

expectStatus(Number)

Call expectStatus() to declare the HTTP status code that you expect the reponse to have.

expectHeaders(Object)

Call expectHeaders() expect certain headers. Unspecified headers will be ignored. Further calls will merge the two expectations.

expectCookie(Object)

Call expectCookie() expect certain cookies. Unspecified cookies will be ignored. Further calls will merge the two expectations.

####expectBody(String/Object) Call expectBody() to declare what bopdy to expect in the response. This should be a string unless jsonMode() has been called.

expectPartialBody(Object)

Call expectPartialBody() to expect certain response fields. Unspecified fields will be ignored. This method will error if JSON mode is not enabled.

expect(Function)

Call expect() to make your own assertions on the response. You must provide a function that takes the node response object, and throws an error if any expectations are violated. You may decorate the error with additional properties that will be logged.

test(cb)

Call test() to actually execute the specified request, and test your expectations. test() takes a callback that expects error and result arguments. The error parameter is truthy if the expectations were not met. The result parameter will contain an object detailing the errors, along with the response.

authStrategy(fn)

Call authStrategy with a function that takes a credentials object and a callback. This function should log a user into your app and return a cookie with proper session credentials.

login(credentials)

After authStrategy has been set, call login with a set of credentials to log a user in before running a test.

api (static methods):

assertObjectEquals(obj1, obj2)

Asserts that two objects are deeply-equal, and to throw an assertion error if they're not, along with logging the diffs.

register(fn)

Register your own expect helper, which you will be able to use in a manner similar to expectBody, expectHeaders, etc. Should return a function that takes the response object and throws an error if any assertions are not met. Attach your own properties to the thrown error object to add details.
