Node.js Testing Examples

========================

As the name implies, this repository contains examples on how you can test 

Node.js codebases.

Each folder contains a README giving a quick overview of the different testing 

types and the tools they use, but a quick breakdown of this repo is provided 

below.

## Setup

Before you can use this be sure to _cd_ into this repo directory and run:

```

npm install

```

## Basic Module Testing

This demonstrates how you could setup your own test cases using Node.js without 

installing any test frameworks or dependencies. 

Run example tests using the command:

```

npm run basic-test

```

## Module Testing with Mocha and Chai

These tests are very similar to the _Basic Module Testing_, and even test the 

same module, but instead use Mocha as a test framework and Chai for assertions 

since these provide more expressive and easy to read tests.

Run example tests using the command:

```

npm run mocha-test

```

## Express Application Testing

Express is a popular web application framework for Node.js. Developers expose 

routes using Routers (express.Router instaces) mounted to an express instance. 

Testing these can be achieved using the supertest module without ever needing 

to actually have your express application bind to a port. 

Run example tests using the command:

```

npm run express-test

```
