## About The Project
This is a basic test framework that hits the [Chuck Norris Jokes API](https://api.chucknorris.io/) following 3 core values:
1. Endpoint functionality should be wrapped by a class method which is abstracted as much as possible 🌌
2. Those class methods should be unit tested 🧪
3. Actual API tests will then import those class methods to interact with the live API 🔎
### Built With
* [TypeScript](https://www.typescriptlang.org/)
* [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/about/)
* [Jest](https://jestjs.io/docs/getting-started)
## Getting Started
### Prerequisites
You will want the latest version of npm installed. For reference, this project was developed with npm version `8.5.1`.
```sh
npm install npm@latest -g
```
### Installation
1. Clone the repo
```sh
git clone https://github.com/jmfiola/jest-api-test-typescript-example.git
```
3. Install NPM packages
```npm
npm install
```
## Usage
1. Run the unit tests for the framework with code coverage
```npm
npm run unit:test
```
2. Run the functional tests which actually hit the live Chuck Norris API
```npm
npm run functional:test
```
You can use this framework as a starting point for whatever API tests you would like to run. This framework allows for the flexibility of running tests which have free range with what headers they use, what routes they call, etc. whilst also providing easy-to-use, reusable, unit tested class methods. This makes the tests a lot more accessible to test writers and framework maintainers!
## Roadmap
- [ ] Dockerization
- [ ] Reporting Integration
