A guide to CRUD API testing a deployed service with Cypress

This one is slightly outdated. Take a look at https://github.com/muratkeremozcan/cypress-mockoon-api-test for a better example.

yarn install
yarn cy:open
yarn cy:run

For learning purposes, you can check out the branch base to start from scratch and follow the guide. main has the final version of the repo. The code samples are setup to copy paste into the repo and work at every step.

Follow the blog post at dev.to for guidance.

The Service under test

The service we are using in this example is Aunt Maria's Pizzeria from the book Serverless Applications with Node.js.

Since we are API testing the service, the implementation details are not critical. For those that are interested, it is a AWS serverless app that is deployed via ClaudiaJs, and the source code can be found here.

There is a test.rest file in the repo root that can help us get familiar with the API. It uses VsCode REST Client extension to test the api like we would do with Postman.

Static-analysis

yarn lint
yarn typecheck
yarn check-format # check only changed files

# all the above in parallel
yarn validate

yarn fix-format # check & fix all files

lint-staged & husky

On git commit, typecheck is run, followed by lint, then Prettier fixes the format of only the staged files and appends them to the commit.
