Testing

Unit Test Example

describe('[METHOD] /api/v1/[endpoint]', () => {
  it('should return success with valid data', async () => {
    const response = await request(app)
      .[method]('/api/v1/[endpoint]')
      .send({
        field1: 'test value',
        field2: 123
      })
      .expect(200);

    expect(response.body.success).toBe(true);
    expect(response.body.data).toMatchObject({
      field1: 'test value',
      field2: 123
    });
  });

  it('should return 400 for invalid data', async () => {
    const response = await request(app)
      .[method]('/api/v1/[endpoint]')
      .send({
        field1: '', // Invalid empty string
