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
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.
Introduction to Fakes
In this lesson, we'll use AdonisJS Fakes in Japa for isolated testing of service dependencies (like email). Learn to put the mail service in fake mode, call the service method, use built-in assertions, and ensure proper cleanup.
Introduction to Mocks & Dependency Swapping
In this lesson, we'll cover Unit Testing services with dependencies. Learn to create a mock for a dependency and use the AdonisJS IoC Container to replace the real dependency with your mock, ensuring isolated and side-effect-free testing.
Testing a Simple Service
In this lesson, we'll focus on Unit Testing in AdonisJS using Japa. Learn how to write isolated tests for a service's business logic, including asserting correct results and handling expected exceptions.
Filtering & Controlling Test Runs
In this lesson, learn how to control Japa's test execution. Ignore tests using skip, only run specific tests using pinning, and also how assigning tags can powerfully allow us to easily filter tests across specs.
Data-Driven Tests with Datasets
In this lesson, learn to write DRY tests using Japa's datasets! Define an array or callback function of data (primitives or objects) to run a single test multiple times, enabling TypeScript inference, and using interpolation in the test name for context.
Testing Async Code & Exceptions
In this lesson, we'll cover testing asynchronous code in AdonisJS using Japa. Learn to assert successful promises with both async/await and promise chaining. We'll then discuss testing rejected promises and what to watch for to prevent false positives.
Group & Test Lifecycle Hooks
In this lesson, we'll walk through a number of lifecycle hooks we can use on a per-group and per-test basis. We'll also discuss how we can run a hook for each test and how setup hooks allow a convenient cleanup method.
Naming Tests
In this lesson, we'll discuss how to quickly write a good test name in a single, brief sentence.

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.
