Writing and running tests

We are going to give a couple of examples of writing tests. First, we will use a public endpoint and see how we can write a test against our public routes, then we will see how to test a secure endpoint.

Testing a public endpoint

We will start by testing a public endpoint first; let's consider the GET /api/classrooms endpoint. We want to test the endpoint is working as expected—that is, it is accessible and returning the expected result.

Before we start writing the tests, let's make sure that we are allowing public access to this endpoint by updating the permissions. Update the bootstrap function in the src/index.js file, allowing public access to the classroom's find endpoint, as illustrated in the following code snippet:

await enablePermission("public", "classroom","classroom", "find");

We should be able to access the GET /api/classrooms endpoint without the need to authenticate...
