# User Focused API testing
## 🔭 What is APId?
APId is a framework that lets you write declarative, end-to-end collections of requests and make sure your API behaves the way you expect.
## ⬇️ Installation
APId comes in both binary packages and docker image. You can find the docker image [here](https://github.com/getapid/apid/pkgs/container/apid), while the binaries can be found [here](https://github.com/getapid/apid/releases)
Here's how to install the latest binary on UNIX based systems:
```sh
# make sure to substitute the URL with the correct platform for you
curl -L https://github.com/getapid/apid/releases/latest/download/apid-darwin-arm64 -o /tmp/apid
chmod +x /tmp/apid
sudo mv /tmp/apid /usr/local/bin/apid
# test if the installation was successful
apid version
```
### ✅ A simple test
APId tests, or specs, are written in `jsonnet`. There are a number of built-in useful functions to make it easier to make and validate requests to your API.
```jsonnet
// contents of `example.jsonnet`
{
simple_spec: spec([
{
name: "google homepage",
request: {
method: "GET",
url: "https://www.google.com/"
},
expect: {
code: 200
}
}
])
}
```
And to run the test
```bash
> apid check -s "example.jsonnet"
example::simple_spec
google homepage
+ status code is 200
specs passed: 1
specs failed: 0
```
Success! You've just written your first APId test! If you change the `expect.code` from `200` to lets say `500` the test will fail and this will be the output:
```bash
> apid check -s "example.jsonnet"
example::simple_spec
google homepage
o status code: wanted 500, got 200
specs passed: 0
specs failed: 1
```
For more examples please check the [`examples`](examples) folder in this repository.
## 📚 Documentation
You can find the most up to date documentation [`here`](docs)
## Patterns
Jsonnet is a very powerful language which can be utilised to make your life easier.
### Split variables from tests
For example you can extract any variables in a separate file
```js
// vars.libsonnet
{
url: 'http://localhost:8080',
}
// test.jsonnet
{
name: 'request',
request: {
url: vars.url,
},
expect: {
code: 200,
},
},
```
### Store matchers in variables
You can extract your matchers in a local variable to make the test easier to read
```js
// test.jsonnet
local key_matcher = key(
or([
regex("\\w+"),
regex("\\d+"),
])
);
{
body: {
[key_matcher]: "the value of that key" // note the [] around the key, ref: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/Object_initializer#computed_property_names
}
}
```

### 💻 CLI
