iffy helps you test http handlers.
We assume JSON for any marshaling/unmarshaling. If you use something else, that's fine, but the advanced features (responseObject + templating) will not work.
Example:
func TestFoo(t *testing.T) {
// Instantiate & configure anything that implements http.Handler
r := gin.Default()
r.GET("/hello", tonic.Handler(helloHandler, 200))
r.POST("/foo", tonic.Handler(newFoo, 201))
r.DELETE("/foo/:fooid", tonic.Handler(delFoo, 204))
tester := iffy.NewTester(t, r)
// Variadic list of checker functions = func(r *http.Response, body string, responseObject interface{}) error
//
// Checkers can use closures to trap checker-specific configs -> ExpectStatus(200)
// Some are provided in the iffy package, but you can use your own Checker functions
tester.AddCall("helloworld", "GET", "/hello?who=world", "").Checkers(iffy.ExpectStatus(200), iffy.ExpectJSONFields("msg", "bla"))
tester.AddCall("badhello", "GET", "/hello", "").Checkers(iffy.ExpectStatus(400))
// Optionally, pass an instantiated response object ( &Foo{} )
// The response body will be unmarshaled into it, then it will be presented to the Checker functions (parameter 'responseObject')
// That way your custom checkers can directly use your business objects (ExpectValidFoo)
tester.AddCall("createfoo", "POST", "/foo", `{"bar": "baz"}`).ResponseObject(&Foo{}).Checkers(iffy.ExpectStatus(201), ExpectValidFoo)
// You can template query string and/or body using partial results from previous calls
// e.g.: delete the object that was created in a previous step
tester.AddCall("deletefoo", "DELETE", "/foo/{{.createfoo.id}}", "").Checkers(iffy.ExpectStatus(204))
tester.Run()
}
