Chai assertion for expressjs token-based app - node.js

Question

I'm writting tests for an expressjs token-based app, however I read the chai doc and find only cookie based auth. With an workaround the test passed with the code above, however I need the token to be used in others it statements. Any tips are welcome. I'm using mochajs to run tests.
var chai = require('chai');
var chaiHttp = require('chai-http');
var mongoose = require('mongoose');
var server = require('../app');
var Dish = require('../models/dishes');
var should = chai.should();
chai.use(chaiHttp);
describe('Users', function() {
it('should return success on /login POST', function(done) {
var agent = chai.request.agent(server)
agent
.post('/users/login')
.send({"username": "admin", "password": "password"})
.then(function(res) {
res.should.have.cookie('token');
return agent.get('/users')
.then(function(res) {
res.should.have.status(200);
});
});
done();
});
it('should return success on /users GET', function(done) {
chai.request(server)
.get('/users')
.end(function(err, res) {
res.should.have.status(200);
done();
});
});
});
describe('Dishes', function() {
it('should list ALL dishes on /dishes GET', function(done) {
chai.request(server)
.get('/dishes')
.end(function(err, res) {
res.should.have.status(200);
done();
});
});
it('should list a SINGLE dish on /dish/<id> GET');
it('should add a SINGLE dish on /dishes POST');
it('should update a SINGLE dish on /dish/<id> PUT');
it('should delete a SINGLE dish on /dish/<id> DELETE');
});

You can start your test by before, and then get you token
let token = '';
describe('Users', () => {
before((done) => {
const userCredentials = {
username: 'admin',
password: 'password'
};
chai.request(server)
.post('/api/v1/auth')
.send(userCredentials)
.end((err, res) => {
console.log('res', res.body.data.customer.token);
token = `Bearer ${res.body.data.customer.token}`;
done();
});
})
// Your test
})
