JsonMatchers

Validate the JSON returned by your Rails JSON APIs

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

group :test do
  gem "json_matchers"
end

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install json_matchers

Usage

Inspired by Validating JSON Schemas with an RSpec Matcher.

First, configure it in your test suite's helper file:

Configure

RSpec

spec/spec_helper.rb

require "json_matchers/rspec"

JsonMatchers.schema_root = "spec/support/api/schemas"

Minitest

test/test_helper.rb

require "minitest/autorun"
require "json_matchers/minitest/assertions"

JsonMatchers.schema_root = "test/support/api/schemas"

Minitest::Test.include(JsonMatchers::Minitest::Assertions)

Declare

Declare your JSON Schema in the schema directory.

spec/support/api/schemas/location.json or test/support/api/schemas/location.json:

Define your JSON Schema in the schema directory.

{
  "id": "https://json-schema.org/geo",
  "$schema": "https://json-schema.org/draft-06/schema#",
  "description": "A geographical coordinate",
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "latitude": {
      "type": "number"
    },
    "longitude": {
      "type": "number"
    }
  }
}

Validate

RSpec

Validate a JSON response, a Hash, or a String against a JSON Schema with match_json_schema:

spec/requests/locations_spec.rb

describe "GET /locations" do
  it "returns Locations" do
    get locations_path, format: :json

    expect(response.status).to eq 200
    expect(response).to match_json_schema("locations")
  end
end

Minitest

Validate a JSON response, a Hash, or a String against a JSON Schema with assert_matches_json_schema:

test/integration/locations_test.rb

def test_GET_posts_returns_Locations
  get locations_path, format: :json

  assert_equal response.status, 200
  assert_matches_json_schema response, "locations"
end

Embedding other Schemas

To re-use other schema definitions, include $ref keys that refer to their definitions.

First, declare the singular version of your schema.

spec/support/api/schemas/user.json:

{
  "id": "file:/user.json#",
  "type": "object",
  "required": ["id"],
  "properties": {
    "id": { "type": "integer" },
    "name": { "type": "string" },
    "address": { "type": "string" },
  },
}

Then, when you declare your collection schema, reference your singular schemas.

spec/support/api/schemas/users/index.json:

{
  "id": "file:/users/index.json#",
  "type": "object",
  "definitions": {
    "users": {
      "description": "A collection of users",
      "example": [{ "id": "1" }],
      "type": "array",
      "items": {
        "$ref": "file:/user.json#"
      },
    },
  },
  "required": ["users"],
  "properties": {
    "users": {
      "$ref": "#/definitions/users"
    }
  },
}

NOTE: $ref resolves paths relative to the schema in question.

In this case "user.json" and "users/index.json" are resolved relative to "spec/support/api/schemas" or "test/support/api/schemas".

To learn more about $ref, check out Understanding JSON Schema Structuring.

Declaring a schema in a Subdirectory

Nesting a schema within a subdirectory is also supported:

spec/support/api/schemas/api/v1/location.json:

{
  "id": "https://json-schema.org/geo",
  "$schema": "https://json-schema.org/draft-06/schema#",
  "description": "A geographical coordinate",
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "latitude": {
      "type": "number"
    },
    "longitude": {
      "type": "number"
    }
  }
}

spec/requests/api/v1/locations_spec.rb:

describe "GET api/v1/locations" do
  it "returns Locations" do
    get locations_path, format: :json

    expect(response.status).to eq 200
    expect(response).to match_json_schema("api/v1/location")
  end
end

Configuration

By default, the schema directory is spec/support/api/schemas.

This can be configured via JsonMatchers.schema_root.

# spec/support/json_matchers.rb

JsonMatchers.schema_root = "docs/api/schemas"

Upgrading from 0.9.x

Calls to match_json_schema and match_response_schema no longer accept options, and JsonMatchers.configure has been removed.
