What is pactum?

Pactum is a REST API testing tool that allows you to write tests in a simple and readable manner. It supports various types of testing including functional, end-to-end, and performance testing. Pactum is designed to be easy to use and integrates well with other testing frameworks.

What are pactum's main functionalities?

API Testing

This feature allows you to test REST APIs by making HTTP requests and validating the responses. The code sample demonstrates a GET request to a sample API and checks the status code and JSON response.

const pactum = require('pactum');
pactum.spec()
  .get('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1')
  .expectStatus(200)
  .expectJson({
    userId: 1,
    id: 1,
    title: 'sunt aut facere repellat provident occaecati excepturi optio reprehenderit',
    body: 'quia et suscipit\nsuscipit...'
  })
  .toss();

Mock Server

Pactum allows you to create a mock server to simulate API responses. This is useful for testing scenarios where the actual API is not available. The code sample shows how to set up a mock server that responds to a GET request.

const pactum = require('pactum');
const { mock } = pactum;
mock.addInteraction({
  request: {
    method: 'GET',
    path: '/api/users'
  },
  response: {
    status: 200,
    body: [{ id: 1, name: 'John Doe' }]
  }
});
mock.start(3000);

BDD Style Testing

Pactum supports Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) style testing, which makes tests more readable and easier to understand. The code sample demonstrates how to write BDD style tests using Given, When, and Then.

const pactum = require('pactum');
const { Given, When, Then } = require('pactum').bdd;
Given('a user exists', () => {
  pactum.spec()
    .get('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users/1')
    .expectStatus(200);
});
When('I get the user details', () => {
  pactum.spec()
    .get('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users/1');
});
Then('I should see the user details', () => {
  pactum.spec()
    .get('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users/1')
    .expectJson({
      id: 1,
      name: 'Leanne Graham'
    });
});
