mock-session

mock-session

Create required session object for testing, which is used with cookie-session.

If you are using mocha + express + cookie-session and you need to set desired session object in tests or somewhere than this packge can be helpful.

npm install mock-session

mockSession('Session name of cookie-session',    
            'first key of cookie-session',      
            'data you need to add in session'     
          );

Example

let mockSession = require('mock-session');
let cookie = mockSession('my-session', 'my-secret', {"count":1});   
.
.
.
await request(app).get('api/images/create')
        .set('cookie', [cookie])
        .expect(200);

Controller Side: You'll receive session object like this

exports.create = function(req, res) {         
  if(req.session.count == 1) { // true                      
    //do something                
    res.sendStatus(200);                    
  }
}
