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 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.
Testing GET Endpoints
In this lesson, we'll write Functional Tests to test an AdonisJS route using the Japa API Client. Learn to test happy paths by asserting successful responses and sad paths by asserting purposefully failed responses.
Meet the API Client
In this lesson, learn how to use Japa's API Client for Functional Testing of AdonisJS routes. We'll install and register the plugin, and use the client in tests to make requests and assert against their responses.
Functional vs Unit Testing
In this lesson, we'll distinguish between Unit and Functional testing. We'll discuss how Unit tests are for isolated code and are lightweight, while Functional tests boot the HTTP server to test the entire application stack from request to response.
Unit Testing Event Listeners
In this lesson, learn how to unit test AdonisJS Event Listeners with Japa. Use the Mail Fake to isolate the test, instantiate the listener, manually call the listener and pass data, and use assertions to confirm the expected email was queued.

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.
