A simple project to show how to test a Node Express app using MNP - Mocha, Nock and Proxyquire. Code coverage is done with Istanbul (now called nyc). Rewire can be used in place of proxyquire to test private JS methods. This app is a very basic currency API.
You can see this app running on Zeit Now, each pull request will have it's own URL.
The GET
api works in the following way:
- hit URL
/api/convert/AUD/USD/2018-07-22
. - Checks if the currency exchange rate is in the DB, if yes returns it.
- If rate is not in the db it will query the
currencyconverterapi.com
free API to get the rate. - Returns the rate back and saves it in the DB too.
To create the db and the table, run the following sql script.
CREATE DATABASE currency CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `currency`.`exchange_rates` (
`id` INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`from_currency` CHAR(3) NOT NULL,
`to_currency` CHAR(3) NOT NULL,
`rate` DECIMAL(12,7) NOT NULL,
`on_date` DATE NOT NULL,
`created_at` DATETIME NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
UNIQUE INDEX `rate_on_date_UNIQUE` (`from_currency` ASC, `to_currency` ASC, `on_date` ASC))
ENGINE = InnoDB;
INSERT INTO `currency`.`exchange_rates` (`from_currency`, `to_currency`, `rate`, `on_date`) VALUES ('AUD', 'USD', '0.742719', '2018-07-22');
Configs for db like username, password etc are in the /src/config.js
file.
to run the app you can use docker-compose up
the go to http://localhost:8080/api/convert/AUD/USD/2018-07-23
on the browser. It is using the db on remotemysql.com
so no need to setup the db locally. If you want to set it up locally change the config in src/configs.js
or put in environment variables.
To run the tests inside the container run docker-compose run web npm t
To run tests just run npm t
to watch test run npm t -- -w
.
To watch specific test(s) run npm t -- -w -g "exchangeRates get
or even
npm t -- -w -g "should use default params if no params are provided and no results in db"
To get the code coverage with Istanbul/nyc execute : npm run test-cov
. You should see the code coverage on the cli.
You can also check the code coverage on code climate.
Has some mutation testing done with Stryker. Current coverage is ~88% with mostly log lines failing. To run the mutation tests run the following after installing stryker.
stryker run
or
npm run mutation-cov
