Use Grillon to test your Rust HTTP API! 0.5.0-alpha.1 is out!

Hey Rustaceans!

Many of you develop or maintain HTTP APIs in Rust. But writing and maintaining their tests can be a tedious task right?

With the pre-release 0.5.0-alpha.1, you can preview the built-in functions to test json path values for equality and validity with a json schema. Your feedback is important so we can better shape what you need! Give it a try by following the instructions in the Readme.

⭐ Consider to give it a star to support the project! Thanks!

Getting started

You need Tokio as asynchronous runtime. Generally, testing libs are used in unit or integration tests so let's declare grillon as a dev-dependency.

Add grillon to Cargo.toml

[dev-dependencies]
grillon = "0.5.0-alpha.1"
tokio = { version = "1", features = ["macros"] }
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Then use grillon :

use grillon::{dsl::*, dsl::http::*, json, Grillon, StatusCode, Result};
use grillon::header::{HeaderValue, CONTENT_LENGTH, CONTENT_TYPE};
#[tokio::test]
async
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
