## Need Help
We use Github [Discussions](https://github.com/pactumjs/pactum/discussions) to receive feedback, discuss ideas & answer questions.
## Installation
```shell
# install pactum as a dev dependency
npm install --save-dev pactum
# install a test runner to run pactum tests
# mocha / jest / cucumber
npm install --save-dev mocha
```
or you can simply use
```bash
npx pactum-init
```
# Usage
**pactum** can be used for all levels of testing in a test pyramid. It can also act as an standalone mock server to generate contracts for contract testing.
## API Testing
Tests in **pactum** are clear and comprehensive. It uses numerous descriptive methods to build your requests and expectations.
### Simple Test Cases
#### Using Mocha
Running simple api test expectations.
```js
const { spec } = require('pactum');
it('should be a teapot', async () => {
await spec()
.get('http://httpbin.org/status/418')
.expectStatus(418);
});
it('should save a new user', async () => {
await spec()
.post('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users')
.withHeaders('Authorization', 'Basic xxxx')
.withJson({
name: 'bolt',
email: '[email protected]'
})
.expectStatus(200);
});
```
```shell
# mocha is a test framework to execute test cases
mocha /path/to/test
```
#### Using Cucumber
See [pactum-cucumber-boilerplate](https://github.com/pactumjs/pactum-cucumber-boilerplate) for more details on pactum & cucumber integration.
```gherkin
Scenario: Check Tea Pot
Given I make a GET request to "http://httpbin.org/status/418"
When I receive a response
Then response should have a status 418
```
```js
// steps.js
const pactum = require('pactum');
const { Given, When, Then, Before } = require('@cucumber/cucumber');
let spec = pactum.spec();
Before(() => { spec = pactum.spec(); });
Given('I make a GET request to {string}', function (url) {
spec.get(url);
});
When('I receive a response', async function () {
await spec.toss();
});
Then('response should have a status {int}', async function (code) {
spec.response().should.have.status(code);
});
```
## Mock Server
**pactum** can act as a standalone *mock server* that allows us to mock any server via HTTP or HTTPS, such as a REST endpoint. Simply it is a simulator for HTTP-based APIs.
Running **pactum** as a standalone *mock server*.
```js
const { mock } = require('pactum');
mock.addInteraction({
request: {
method: 'GET',
path: '/api/projects'
},
response: {
status: 200,
body: [
{
id: 'project-id',
name: 'project-name'
}
]
}
});
mock.start(3000);
```
