Testing Model Logic

In this lesson, we'll learn how to Unit Test AdonisJS Model logic using Japa. We'll test a password reset token's validity to show instance-level tests. Then, we'll test its generate and verify methods to show static methods.

Testing with Lucid Model Factories

In this lesson, we'll learn about AdonisJS Model Factories and how we can use them to create realistic, yet fake, test data. We'll create a few factories we'll use in this series and learn how we can stub or create data with them in tests.

Testing File Uploads

In this lesson, we'll learn how to test AdonisJS file uploads using Drive Fakes and the Japa API Client. We'll generate fake files for testing, use a multipart request, assert successes, test validation failures, and impress the importance of cleanup.
