node-fetch-response-matchers

Build Status

Chai plugin with matchers for node-fetch promise response. It helps the tests to be more declarative.

TL;DR

  • This lib gives you a declarative way to assert fetch response, Also it hides the promises and their callbacks noise:
   it('some-test', function(){
     return expect(fetch('http://localhost/')).to.be.successful()
                            .and.to.haveBodyText('foo');

   });
  • If you are not using this lib it becomes very verbose:
   it('some-test', function(done){
      fetch('http://localhost/')
         .then(res => {
            expect(res.status).to.equal(200);
            return res.text();
         }).then(text => {
            expect(text).to.equal('foo');
            done();
         })
   });

Install (for dev only - used by tests)

$ npm install --save-dev node-fetch-response-matchers

Usage example

const nodeFetchMatchers = require('node-fetch-response-matchers');
const fetch = require('node-fetch');
const chai = require('chai');

chai.use(nodeFetchMatchers);

describe('test suite', function(){
    it('http success test', function(){
        return expect(fetch('http://localhost/')).to.be.successful();
    });
    it('and', function(){
          return expect(fetch('http://localhost/')).to.be.successful()
                                                    .and.haveBodyText('foo');
    });
});

Chai native plugin

You can all use chai "not"

   it('not', function(){
      return expect(fetch('http://localhost/')).to.not.be.successful();
   });

Status matchers

   it('http success test', function(){
      return expect(fetch('http://localhost/')).to.be.successful();
   });
   it('http status assert', function(){
        return expect(fetch('http://localhost/')).to.haveStatus(500);
   });
