How to specify request input when testing?

[SamuelPires1999]

I'm new to the library and I cannot seem to make a test that needs input to pass.

Its simples, my endpoint is this one:

export const needsInput = defaultEndpointsFactory.build({
  method: "post",
  input: z.object({
    sampleInput: z.string().min(6),
  }),
  output: z.object({
    validation: z.string(),
  }),
  handler: async ({ input, logger }) => {
    return {
      validation: "Input successully validated",
    };
  },
});

On my test suite how should I specify the "sampleInput" property? Tried in many different ways and never actually got it right. The docs says "parsed JSON" on the body field but what actually parsed JSON means in that context?

Nevermind i Just noticed that I've forgot the method property on my test, sorry hahaha

Hello @SamuelPires1999 ,

sorry for the unclarity.
For testing your endpoints use the exposed method testEndpoint() having jest and @types/jest installed.
By "parsed JSON" in the body prop of that method I implied that the request body should be an object instead of a string.

The real IO workflow receives the request body as a string and uses body-parser to process it: in particular case — the JSON parser.
However, in testing workflow this step is skipped, so you should supply body the way it would be after parsing the JSON string — as object.
Anyway, it's easier for the development as well.

Yeah, the default request method is GET.
Since your endpoint is for POST, you need to override it using the corresponding property.

Best wishes.
