pactum VS Strapi

PactumJS with JSON Schema integration.

Pactum is quite powerful allowing different kind of E2E tests, you pass the base URL to make a request and assert over the response, it has more assertion functions than supertest and also supports GraphQL

You will use Strapi to build the back-end of a simple To-Do list application. Then set up PactumJS, a testing framework to create automated tests for our back-end. We will learn the basics of Strapi while creating the back-end, dive into the basics of automated testing using PactumJS and learn about making different requests and validating the responses.

Either that, or using a tool that in my opinion is more robust, like pactum

PactumJS abstracts the challenging parts to write tests in an easy and fun way and ultimately making API Integration testing super easy.

Strapi provides a centralized data managing platform. This makes it easier to organize, update, and maintain the FAQ data. It also automatically generates a RESTful API for accessing the content stored in its database.

https://prisma.io is popular as I understand it. I've been trying out https://strapi.io the last week and am thoroughly impressed.

They both do much more than build queries. One big thing both do is automate database migration calculations. Strapi goes further and gives you a CMS and admin UI on top, as well as doing a lot more of the complex query building from a json object. Both still require a fundamental understanding of the data model and SQL

As of April 2024, Strapi's GitHub repository has garnered 59.7k stars and 7.5k forks, showcasing its widespread adoption. The project has also secured a substantial $45+ million in funding, cementing its position as a prominent player in the headless CMS space.

const pages = await client.GET("/pages", { params: { query: { filters: { // @ts-ignore - openapi generated from strapi results in Record // https://github.com/strapi/strapi/issues/19644 path: { $eq: path, }, }, // @ts-ignore populate: { blocks: { populate: "*" }, }, }, }, });

On a side note. Where do all these endpoints come from? Strapi is open source. We can read the source code. All these endpoint come from the Users and permissions plugin. So, if we go to Strapi on github and browse around the files a bit eventually you will find the auth.js file that contains all of the routes. You can also find the Strapi controllers in there if you're interested.
