alola

alola

curl -i <url> | alola | fx .

• glue between curl -i and cli JSON parser tool of your choice like jq or fx
• it was built with unix-philosophy in the mind
• runs assertions on JSON
• no bail-out: it runs every assertions
• CI-friendly: process exit code is always the number of failed testcases

usage

# npm install -g alola
# or
# npx alola (recommended)

curl -i <url> | npx alola [assertions]

examples

curl -i https://ewqfsixnkkhp3syjy65heuhkou0dogwr.lambda-url.eu-central-1.on.aws/ \
  | npx alola
