|

<p align="center">Gavel is a library that validates a given HTTP transaction (request/response pair).</p> | ||
|
||
## Install | ||
|
||
```bash | ||
npm install gavel | ||
``` | ||
|
||
## Usage | ||
|
||
### CLI | ||
|
||
```bash | ||
# (Optional) Record HTTP messages | ||
curl -s --trace - http://httpbin.org/ip | curl-trace-parser > expected | ||
curl -s --trace - http://httpbin.org/ip | curl-trace-parser > actual | ||
|
||
# Perform the validation | ||
cat actual | gavel expected | ||
``` | ||
|
||
> Example above uses [`curl-trace-parser`](https://github.com/apiaryio/curl-trace-parser). | ||
### NodeJS | ||
|
||
```js | ||
const gavel = require('gavel'); | ||
|
||
// Define HTTP messages | ||
const expected = { | ||
statusCode: 200, | ||
headers: { | ||
'Content-Type': 'application/json' | ||
} | ||
}; | ||
|
||
const actual = { | ||
statusCode: 404, | ||
headers: { | ||
'Content-Type': 'application/json' | ||
} | ||
}; | ||
|
||
// Perform the validation | ||
const result = gavel.validate(expected, actual); | ||
``` | ||
|
||
The code above wouold return the next validation `result`: | ||
|
||
Gavel detects important differences between actual and expected HTTP transactions (HTTP request and response pairs). Gavel also decides whether the actual HTTP transaction is valid or not. | ||
```js | ||
{ | ||
valid: false, | ||
fields: { | ||
statusCode: { | ||
valid: false, | ||
kind: 'text', | ||
values: { | ||
expected: 200, | ||
actual: 404 | ||
}, | ||
errors: [ | ||
{ | ||
message: `Expected status code '200', but got '404'.`, | ||
values: { | ||
expected: 200, | ||
actual: 404 | ||
} | ||
} | ||
] | ||
}, | ||
headers: { | ||
valid: true, | ||
kind: 'json', | ||
values: { | ||
expected: { | ||
'Content-Type': 'application/json' | ||
}, | ||
actual: { | ||
'Content-Type': 'application/json' | ||
} | ||
}, | ||
errors: [] | ||
} | ||
} | ||
} | ||
``` | ||
|
||
### Usage with JSON Schema | ||
|
||
You can describe the body expectations using [JSON Schema](https://json-schema.org/) by providing a valid schema to the `bodySchema` property of the expected HTTP message: | ||
|
||
```js | ||
const gavel = require('gavel'); | ||
|
||
const expected = { | ||
bodySchema: { | ||
type: 'object', | ||
properties: { | ||
fruits: { | ||
type: 'array', | ||
items: { | ||
type: 'string' | ||
} | ||
} | ||
} | ||
} | ||
}; | ||
|
||
const actual = { | ||
body: JSON.stringify({ | ||
fruits: ['apple', 'banana', 2] | ||
}) | ||
}; | ||
|
||
const result = gavel.validate(expected, actual); | ||
``` | ||
|
||
The validation `result` against the given JSON Schema will look as follows: | ||
|
||
```js | ||
{ | ||
valid: false, | ||
fields: { | ||
body: { | ||
valid: false, | ||
kind: 'json', | ||
values: { | ||
actual: "{\"fruits\":[\"apple\",\"banana\",2]}" | ||
}, | ||
errors: [ | ||
{ | ||
message: `At '/fruits/2' Invalid type: number (expected string)`, | ||
location: { | ||
pointer: '/fruits/2' | ||
} | ||
} | ||
] | ||
} | ||
} | ||
} | ||
``` | ||
|
||
## Type definitions | ||
|
||
### Input | ||
|
||
> Gavel has no assumptions over the validity of a given HTTP message. It is the end user responsibility to operate on the valid data. Gavel will throw an exception when given invalid input data. | ||
Both expected and actual HTTP messages inherit from a generic `HttpMessage` interface: | ||
|
||
## Installation | ||
```ts | ||
interface HttpMessage { | ||
method?: string; | ||
statusCode?: number; | ||
headers?: Record<string> | string; | ||
body?: string; | ||
bodySchema?: Object | string; | ||
} | ||
``` | ||
|
||
### Output | ||
|
||
```ts | ||
// Field kind describes the type of a field's values | ||
// subjected to the end comparison. | ||
enum FieldKind { | ||
null // non-comparable data (validation didn't happen) | ||
text // compared as text | ||
json // compared as JSON | ||
} | ||
|
||
```sh | ||
$ npm install gavel | ||
interface ValidationResult { | ||
valid: boolean // validity of the actual message | ||
fields: { | ||
[fieldName: string]: { | ||
valid: boolean // validity of a single field | ||
kind: FieldKind | ||
values: { // end compared values (coerced, normalized) | ||
actual: any | ||
expected: any | ||
} | ||
errors: FieldError[] | ||
} | ||
} | ||
} | ||
|
||
interface FieldError { | ||
message: string | ||
location?: { // kind-specific additional information | ||
// JSON | ||
pointer?: string | ||
property?: string | ||
} | ||
values?: { | ||
expected: any | ||
actual: any | ||
} | ||
} | ||
``` | ||
