Utility functions to help writing tests for a Go-Json-Rest app

Go comes with net/http/httptest to help writing test for an http server. When this http server implements a JSON REST API, some basic checks end up to be always the same. This test package tries to save some typing by providing helpers for this particular use case.

Example:

package main

import (
	"github.com/ant0ine/go-json-rest/rest/test"
	"testing"
)

func TestSimpleRequest(t *testing.T) {
	handler := ResourceHandler{}
	handler.SetRoutes(
	&Route{"GET", "/r",
		func(w ResponseWriter, r *Request) {
			w.WriteJson(map[string]string{"Id": "123"})
			},
		},
	)
	recorded := test.RunRequest(t, &handler,
		test.MakeSessionRequest("POST", "http://1.2.3.4/r", nil))
	recorded.CodeIs(200)
	recorded.ContentTypeIsJson()
}
