How to send data to controller from test using jest? - node.js

Question

I have the following controller w/ sign-up functionality:
// ".../controller.js"
import mongoose from 'mongoose';
const route = Router();
export default (app: Router) => {
app.use('/auth', route);
/**
* API-Route for user signup & registration process
* #param phone phone number of user
* #param password password of user
* #param dob dob of user
* #param name name of user
* #param gender gender of user
* #return uid of user and message
* */
route.post(
'/signup',
middlewares.multer.single('photo'), // multer middleware for getting profile photo
celebrate({
body: Joi.object().keys({
phone:
password:
name:
gender:
dob:
}),
}),
async (req: Request, res: Response, next: NextFunction) => {
/* "Sign-up Service is Called Here to Store in Database" */
}
Then, I make a test folder and want to write a test that will call this controller and pass it the phone,password etc values so that i can see if its storing it in the DB.
NOTE: that i want to send the data from within the code.
"As shown above, the controller is being developed in JavaScript and the database I am using is MongoDB."
I tried to do the same thing that was done here...

...however, its different from what I am trying to do

Answer 1

var adduser = new User({
phone: req.body.phone,
password: req.body.password,
name: req.body.name,
gender: req.body.gender,
dob: req.body.dob,
});
adduser
.save()
.then((data) => {
return res.status(200).send({
status: 200,
success: true,
data: data,
message: "user is inserted",
});
})
.catch((err) => {
return res.status(400).send({
status: 400,
success: false,
err: err,
});
});
You can store the data with this pattern in the mongoose. but the User after the new keyword is model which we have to create & then import in this file. if you data is stored correctly with out any error then is send response 200 & show the data you can check in postman
