Xotabu4/response-openapi-validator

Asserts your responses against Swagger/OpenApi docs. Useful for API testing.

response-openapi-validator

This library allows to match your existing response against your swagger/openapi docs.

• Does lookup in your docs, and finds schema defined for provided response
• Uses AJV to validate response body against found schema
• Provides nice and clean errors
• Framework/Stack agnostic (works with everything)
• OpenApi v3 support is not yet verified

import { ResponseValidator } from "response-openapi-validator";

const validator = new ResponseValidator({
    // Also can be URL
    openApiSpecPath: "./.temp/open_api_docs.json",
});

const response = await got("http://someserver.com/api/something");

await validator.assertResponse({
    method: response.request?.options?.method,
    requestUrl: response?.request?.requestUrl,
    statusCode: response?.statusCode,
    body: response.body,
});

Option: ajvOptions

AJV is used to match found JSON schema against body. You can define AJV options by passing param:

const validator = new ResponseValidator({
    // Also can be URL
    openApiSpecPath: "./.temp/open_api_docs.json",
    // You can see all AJV options here
    // https://github.com/ajv-validator/ajv#options
    ajvOptions: {
        // I recommend to keep allErrors, verbose, and jsonPointers options enabled
        allErrors: true,
        verbose: true,
        jsonPointers: true,

        // Define additional JSON schema formats, if needed
        formats: {
            double: "[+-]?\\d*\\.?\\d+",
            int32: /^(-?\d{1,9}|-?1\d{9}|-?20\d{8}|-?21[0-3]\d{7}|-?214[0-6]\d{6}|-?2147[0-3]\d{5}|-?21474[0-7]\d{4}|-?214748[012]\d{4}|-?2147483[0-5]\d{3}|-?21474836[0-3]\d{2}|214748364[0-7]|-214748364[0-8])$/,
            int64: /^\d+$/,
        },
    },
});

Option: apiPathPrefix

Sometimes API has prefix part, which is not defined in docs.

Real path:

/core/user/create

Path defined in docs:

/user/create

You can specify such prefix in options:

const validator = new OpenApiValidator({
    apiPathPrefix: '/core'
    openApiSpecPath: "./.temp/open_api_docs.json",
});

await validator.assertResponse({
    method: response.request?.options?.method,
    requestUrl: response?.request?.requestUrl,
    statusCode: response?.statusCode,
    body: response.body,
});
