Answer: Post request via Chai
The way you have written, I assume that you used chai-http package. The .field() function does not work in chai-http. Another user pointed it out here and opened an issue on github.

Express API Testing
Supertest is quite popular and easy to use test tool, you can do integration and E2E test as well, you just need to pass it the server instance or a string to make a request and assert over the response.

How can I test an Express application through a terminal?
If the latter, there are a bunch of different options for writing automated tests. One popular way is using Jest to run your tests. If you're trying to test the backend end-to-end flow, you could use Supertest to make requests and assert on the responses.

Ever hear of anyone doing headless functional testing with Jest?
I did something similar with a full stack Typescript project, using supertest and node-fetch. It was nice.

Jest testing custom middleware
This is why integration tests > unit tests. I really hate mocking and I never bother testing individual units that don't affect how users use my app and code. In your case, I'd just use something like supertest to test this functionality e2e.

Hi im having trouble building my api tests
Yes, but when every function handler is separate from the router, then you can use node-mocks-http to test each handler, to test the router is simpler to use supertest to write integration tests, for E2E tests I personally recommend [pactum](pactumjs.github.io/)
