Flask has comprehensive |
|

|
|
Flask has a great support for JSON, and is a popular choice for building REST |
|
|
|
|
APIs. Testing both JSON requests and responses using the test client is very |
|
|
|
|
convenient: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
from flask import json, jsonify |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@app.route('/api/auth') |
|
|
|
|
def auth(): |
|
|
|
|
email = request.json['email'] |
|
|
|
|
password = request.json['password'] |
|
|
|
|
return jsonify(token=generate_token(email, password)) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
with app.test_client() as c: |
|
|
|
|
email = 'john@example.com' |
|
|
|
|
password = 'secret' |
|
|
|
|
resp = c.post('/api/auth', json={'email': email, 'password': password}) |
|
|
|
|
assert verify_token(email, resp.json['token']) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that if the ``json`` argument is provided then the test client will put |
|
|
|
|
the JSON-serialized object in the request body, and also set the |
|
|
|
|
``Content-Type: application/json`` header. |
