Examples
Assertions
In this example, we are asserting the response from random-user api. The results from the server are dynamic, so we are using the like matcher in expectJsonMatch to validate the type of the values instead of the content.
gendershould be a string.nameshould be a object and it should includefirstand it should be a string
dobshould be a object and it should includedateand it should be a stringageand it should be a number
js
const { spec } = require('pactum');
const { like } = require('pactum-matchers');
await spec()
.get('https://randomuser.me/api')
.expectJsonMatch({
"results": [
{
"gender": like("male"),
"name": {
"first": like("Amira"),
},
"dob": like({
"date": "1949-02-09T12:49:15.975Z"
"age": 67
})
}
]
});
