Testing JSON response in request RSpec tests

[23nith]

This will come in handy for those who are currently building RSpec tests for their HTTP requests and are expecting a response in JSON format.

At any point within the body of the test code block after the request line, you can outright refer to the response object by its name then simply access its body property via dot-notation, parse it to convert it to JSON. After which you can now access its key value contents (as seen on the above screenshot, the count is being accessed via bracket notation) .
