api-test-jsonpath

This library provides jsonpath assertions for api-test.

Installation

go get -u github.com/steinfletcher/api-test-jsonpath

Examples

Equals checks for value equality when the json path expression returns a single result. Given the response is {"a": 12345}, the result can be asserted as follows

	apitest.New(handler).
		Get("/hello").
		Expect(t).
		Assert(jsonpath.Equal(`$.a`, float64(12345))).
		End()

When the jsonpath expression returns an array, use jsonpath.Contains to assert the expected value is contained in the result. Given the response is {"a": 12345, "b": [{"key": "c", "value": "result"}]}, we can assert on the result like so

	apitest.New().
		Handler(handler).
		Get("/hello").
		Expect(t).
		Assert(jsonpath.Contains(`$.b[? @.key=="c"].value`, "result")).
		End()

we can also provide more complex expected values

	apitest.New().
		Handler(handler).
		Get("/hello").
		Expect(t).
		Assert(jsonpath.Equal(`$`, map[string]interface{}{"a": "hello", "b": float64(12345)})).
		End()

given the response is {"a": "hello", "b": 12345}
