Normal
js

handler.addSpecHandler('get random user', (ctx) => {
const { spec } = ctx;
spec.get('https://randomuser.me/api');
spec.expectStatus(200);
});
await spec('get random user')
.expectJsonLike({
"results": [
{
"dob": {
"age": '$V > 0'
}
}
]
});
Custom Data
js
const { handler, spec } = require('pactum');
handler.addSpecHandler('get random users', (ctx) => {
// data contains '2' or '3'
const { spec, data } = ctx;
spec.get('https://randomuser.me/api');
spec.withQueryParams('results', data);
spec.expectStatus(200);
});
await spec('get random users', 2)
.expectJsonLike({
"results": "$V.length === 2"
});
await spec('get random users', 3)
.expectJsonLike({
"results": "$V.length === 3"
});
