#Gina

Provides a simple DSL written in CoffeScript for expressing the behaviour of web apps written in nodejs.

Gina in action

To use Gina to test your node app you simply need to wrap your server in an object with the following functions:

• port - Provides the port number that your app is running on

• start - Starts your node app

• stop - Stops your node app

    gina = require("../lib/gina")
  
    describe "How to use gina", ->
  
      class Application
  
        constructor: ->
          @port = 8888
          @server = require('http').createServer (req, res) ->
            responses = 
              GET: "Getting Hello world"
              POST: "Posting to Hello world"
              DELETE: "Deleting..."
              PUT: "Putting..."
    
            res.writeHead 200, { 'Content-Type': 'text/plain' }
            res.end responses[req.method]
  
        start: (callback) ->
          @server.listen(@port, 'localhost', callback)
  
        stop: ->
          @server.close()
  
      beforeEach () ->
        gina.register new Application()
  
      it "can get a resource", ->
        get("/", {}, (response) ->
           expect(response.data).toEqual "Getting Hello world"
           expect(response.statusCode).toEqual 200
        )
  
      it "can post to a resource", ->
        post("/", {}, (response) ->
          expect(response.data).toEqual "Posting to Hello world"
        )
  
      it "can delete a resource", ->
        delete_("/", {}, (response) ->
          expect(response.data).toEqual "Deleting..."
        )
  
      it "can put a resource", ->
        put("/", {}, (response) ->
          expect(response.data).toEqual "Putting..."
        )
