loopback config based automatic api test

Loopback Automatic Api Test

You can run API testing for loopback, just by providing test configs inside directory ./configs/. No more hassle writing long+repetitive scenario and assertion

Setup

• install mocha, supertest, instanbul, and nyc

npm install -s mocha nyc supertest instanbul

• clone this repository as sub module to your loopback project root directory

git submodule add https://github.com/sofyanhadia/loopback-automatic-api-test.git

• inside your package.json add scripts

"scripts": {
    ...
    "test": "nyc mocha test",
    "coverage": "NODE_ENV=test nyc --reporter=text mocha"
  },
