Introducing AdonisJS
Introduction to AdonisJS, a full-featured Node.js web framework designed to reduce choice fatigue with opinionated conventions, built-in batteries, and first-class TypeScript support.
Authentication in Browser Tests
In this final lesson, we'll learn how to use AdonisJS Authentication with the Browser Client. We'll install and configure the Session and Auth browser plugins and visit an auth-protected page to show how it all works.
Testing Browser Form Submissions & Validation Feedback
In this lesson, we'll learn how to test form submissions and validation using Japa's Browser Client and Playwright. We'll programmatically fill and submit our form and assert the visibility and contents of our validation errors.
The Browser Client
In this lesson, we'll softly introduce Browser Testing, which allows powerful DOM assertions, in AdonisJS using Japa's Browser Client and Playwright. We'll get everything installed and configured and write our first simple test.
Piecing It All Together
In this lesson, we'll piece everything we've learned thus far together and create functional tests for a route allowing the authenticated user to change their email. This encompasses authentication, email sending, database records, and more
Testing Authorization with Bouncer

Testing Model Logic
In this lesson, we'll learn how to Unit Test AdonisJS Model logic using Japa. We'll test a password reset token's validity to show instance-level tests. Then, we'll test its generate and verify methods to show static methods.
