Tutorial

Add your actions in actions dir. ex. user.js

const should      = require('should');
const should_http = require('should-http');
const vodka       = require('../../../index');
const fixture     = vodka.fixture;
const validator   = vodka.validator;

describe('Test CRUD of the users api', () => {
  describe('POST /users', () => {
    it('should res json with status 201 and a user obj', (done) => {
      vodka('POST /users', {
        /* more `request` options -> https://github.com/mikeal/request */

        // form    : {}, // for passing form inputs

         * for replace the params in url;
         * check the next test */
        // params : {},

        /* you can hard coded the user obj */
        // json : {

Inspect response format with validator in validators/validator_file_name.js

const should      = require('should');
const should_http = require('should-http');
const email       = require('../../../index').utils.regex.email;

module.exports = {
  user: (user) => {
    Object.keys(user).should.have.lengthOf(6);

    user.should.have.property('_id').with.lengthOf(24);
    user.should.have.property('name').which.is.a.String();
    user.should.have.property('email').which.is.a.String().and.match(email);
    user.should.have.property('website').which.is.a.String();
    user.should.have.property('created_at').which.is.a.Number();
    user.should.have.property('updated_at').which.is.a.Number();
    user.created_at.toString().should.have.lengthOf(13);
    user.updated_at.toString().should.have.lengthOf(13);
  }
};
