RSpecJSONAPISerializer

RSpec matchers for the jsonapi-serializer gem.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'rspec_jsonapi_serializer'

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install rspec_jsonapi_serializer

Usage

Add this line to your RSpec config in rails_helper.rb (or spec_helper.rb if you're not using Rails):

RSpec.configure do |config|
  config.include(RSpecJSONAPISerializer::Matchers, type: :serializer)
end

Given the following serializer class:

# app/serializers/user_serializer.rb

class UserSerializer
  include JSONAPI::Serializer

  set_type :user

  belongs_to :team
  has_one    :blog
  has_many   :blog_posts, serializer: PostSerializer

  attributes :first_name, :last_name, :email

  attribute :created_at do |user|
    user.created_at.iso8601
  end

  attribute :updated_at do |user|
    user.updated_at.iso8601
  end

  meta do |user|
    {
      blog_posts_count: user.blog_posts_count
    }
  end

  link(:self) { |user| "example.com/path/to/user/#{user.id}" }
end

This is how to use rspec_jsonapi_serializer in your tests:

# spec/serializers/user_serializer_spec.rb

RSpec.describe UserSerializer, type: :serializer do
  subject { described_class.new(user) }

  let(:user) do
    User.new(
      id: 1,
      first_name: 'John',
      last_name: 'Doe',
      email: '[email protected]',
      created_at: Time.utc(2021),
      updated_at: Time.utc(2021)
    )
  end

  it { is_expected.to have_type(:user) }

  it { is_expected.to belong_to(:team) }
  it { is_expected.to have_one(:blog) }
  it { is_expected.to have_many(:blog_posts).serializer(PostSerializer) }

  it { is_expected.to serialize_attribute(:first_name) }
  it { is_expected.to serialize_attribute(:last_name) }
  it { is_expected.to serialize_attribute(:email) }
  it { is_expected.to serialize_attribute(:created_at).as('2021-01-01T00:00:00Z') }
  it { is_expected.to serialize_attribute(:updated_at).as('2021-01-01T00:00:00Z') }

  it { is_expected.to serialize_meta(:blog_posts_count).as(0) }
  it { is_expected.to serialize_link(:self).as('example.com/path/to/user/1') }
end
