Simulated function for handling express functions

I'm currently working on a server.js file that includes an app.get function. To test this function using "jest", I am having trouble writing a mock function for the app.get implementation shown below.

app.get('/api/getUser', (req, res) => {
    res.json({
        'email': req.email,
        'name': req.username
    });
});

Answer №1

Here is a solution for unit testing, as well as guidance on writing integration tests with supertest

server.js:

const express = require('express');
const app = express();

app.get('/api/getUser', (req, res) => {
  res.json({
    email: req.email,
    name: req.username,
  });
});

server.test.js:

const express = require('express');

jest.mock('express', () => {
  const express = {
    get: jest.fn(),
  };
  return jest.fn(() => express);
});

describe('60562419', () => {
  it('should send json', () => {
    const mApp = express();
    const mReq = { email: '<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection" class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="16736e777b667a7356717b777f7a3875797">[email protected]</a>', username: 'jest' };
    const mRes = { json: jest.fn() };
    mApp.get.mockImplementationOnce((route, handler) => {
      handler(mReq, mRes);
    });
    require('./server');
    expect(express).toBeCalled();
    expect(mApp.get).toBeCalledWith('/api/getUser', expect.any(Function));
    expect(mRes.json).toBeCalledWith({ email: '<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection" class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="f6938e979b869a93b6919b979f9ad895999b">[email protected]</a>', name: 'jest' });
  });
});

Results of the unit test showing 100% coverage:

 PASS  stackoverflow/60562419/server.test.js (9.939s)
  60562419
    ✓ should send json (581ms)
