Pragmatic Testing in AdonisJS with Japa
Throughout this series, we'll introduce the Japa testing framework, which comes prepackaged with most AdonisJS starter kits. We'll understand how it integrates with AdonisJS, the CLI options it provides, it's assertion library, plugins, and more.
AdonisJS Scenarios
In this ongoing series, we'll cover various scenarios you're likely to run into while developing or maintaining an AdonisJS application. Topics will range from authentication challenges to database management, testing, and more.
Building A Multi-Search with Meilisearch & AdonisJS
In this series, we'll build a server-rendered mutli-search utilizing Meilisearch, Unpoly, and a sprinkle of AlpineJS. We'll setup factories and seeders to make fake data to allow us to index and search against books, authors, and genres simultaneously!
AdonisJS Quick Tip
Quick tips, lessons, and screencasts covering specific topics on AdonisJS.
Adding an API to an AdonisJS Web App
In this series, we'll add a API, using Opaque Access Tokens for authentication, to a preexisting web application. We'll implement dual-guard authentication, add a token management panel, and authenticate our API directly with an organization model!
Building with AdonisJS & Inertia
We'll learn how to use InertiaJS with AdonisJS 6 to build a feature-complete application, called PlotMyCourse. Our application will use server-side rendering (SSR), Vue 3, and Shadcn-Vue. It'll feature organizations, drag-and-drop, and lots of forms.
AdonisJS In 30
In this series, we'll highlight various features and functionalities in AdonisJS you can complete in about 30 minutes or less.
Let's Learn AdonisJS 6
In this series, we'll learn AdonisJS 6 step-by-step in a beginner-friendly way. Covering topics like routing, controllers, services, EdgeJS, Lucid ORM, forms, filtering, authentication, etc.
EdgeJS Components
In this series, we'll take a deep dive into EdgeJS Components by creating our own reusable components from the PinesUI component library, built with TailwindCSS and ApineJS.

Lessons
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.
Testing with Lucid Model Factories
In this lesson, we'll learn about AdonisJS Model Factories and how we can use them to create realistic, yet fake, test data. We'll create a few factories we'll use in this series and learn how we can stub or create data with them in tests.
Testing Database-Driven Endpoints
In this lesson, we'll learn how to functionally test a registration endpoint using a test database. We'll learn about global transactions and how we can use them to easily reset our database between tests and confirm database state with Lucid.
Database Test Runner Hooks
In this lesson, we'll learn how to set up a dedicated test database to ensure clean, isolated testing. We'll configure a separate SQLite database using a test environment variable and set up Japa runner hooks to automatically migrate and seed our database
Testing File Uploads
In this lesson, we'll learn how to test AdonisJS file uploads using Drive Fakes and the Japa API Client. We'll generate fake files for testing, use a multipart request, assert successes, test validation failures, and impress the importance of cleanup.
Asserting OpenAPI Specifications
In this lesson, we'll learn how to validate AdonisJS API responses against an OpenAPI Specification, like those generated by Swagger APIs, using Japa's OpenAPI Assertions plugin.
Asserting JSON Structures
In this lesson, we'll learn how to test fetching a list of items functionally. Assert a successful response, confirm the body is as we expect, check object structures, and loosely validate response data.
testing VineJS Validations & Working with CSRF
In this lesson, learn Functional Testing for POST requests. We'll cover sending JSON and form payloads and how to assert validation errors. We'll also discuss how to set up and use CSRF protection with the Session and Shield plugins.
Testing Ace Console Commands
In this lesson, we'll learn how to test AdonisJS Ace Commands with Japa. We'll cover how to instantiate and execute the command, while passing arguments and capturing prompts. We'll also discuss asserting logged statements sent from the command.

Get User IP Address when Server is Proxied by Cloudflare
If your server is proxied by Cloudflare, chances are the built-in method to get the user IP Address in AdonisJS is returning Cloudflare's IP instead of your users. With this snippet, we'll fix that!
Using Transaction Events To Defer Actions
We can bind handlers to transaction events to easily defer specific actions until after the transaction has been committed and our changes have persisted to the database.
Require Route Parameter To Start With @ To Match
You can use route matchers to specify requirements on the route parameter. In this snippet, we require our username param to start with the @ character for the route to match.
