# Payload Testing Example
This example demonstrates how to get started with testing Payload using [Jest](https://jestjs.io/). You can clone this down and use it as a starting point for your own Payload projects, or you can follow the steps below to add testing to your existing Payload project.
## Add testing to your existing Payload project
1. Initial setup:
```bash
# install dependencies
yarn add --dev jest mongodb-memory-server @swc/jest @swc/core isomorphic-fetch @types/jest
```
```bash
# create a .env file
cp .env.example .env
```
2. This example uses the following folder structure:
```
root
└─ /src
└─ payload.config.ts
└─ /tests
```
3. Add test credentials to your project. Create a file at `src/tests/credentials.ts` with the following contents:
```ts
export default {
email: 'test@test.com',
password: 'test',
};
```
4. Add the global setup file to your project. This file will be run before any tests are run. It will start a MongoDB server and create a Payload instance for you to use in your tests. Create a file at `src/tests/globalSetup.ts` with the following contents:
```ts
import { resolve } from 'path';
import payload from 'payload';
import express from 'express';
import testCredentials from './credentials';
require('dotenv').config({
path: resolve(__dirname, '../../.env'),
});
const app = express();
const globalSetup = async () => {
await payload.init({
secret: process.env.PAYLOAD_SECRET_KEY,
mongoURL: process.env.MONGO_URL,
express: app,
});
app.listen(process.env.PORT, async () => {
console.log(`Express is now listening for incoming connections on port ${process.env.PORT}.`);
});
const response = await fetch(`${process.env.PAYLOAD_PUBLIC_SERVER_URL}/api/users/first-register`, {
body: JSON.stringify({
email: testCredentials.email,
password: testCredentials.password,
}),
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
},
method: 'post',
});
const data = await response.json();
if (!data.user || !data.user.token) {
throw new Error('Failed to register first user');
}
};
export default globalSetup;
```
5. Add a `jest.config.ts` file to the root of your project:
```ts
module.exports = {
verbose: true,
globalSetup: '<rootDir>/src/tests/globalSetup.ts',
roots: ['<rootDir>/src/'],
extensionsToTreatAsEsm: ['.ts', '.tsx'],
transform: {
'^.+\\.(t|j)sx?$': [
'@swc/jest',
{
jsc: {
target: 'es2021',
},
},
],
},
};
```
6. Write your first test. Create a file at `src/tests/login.spec.ts` with the following contents:
```ts
import { User } from '../payload-types';
import testCredentials from './credentials';
describe('Users', () => {
it('should allow a user to log in', async () => {
const result: {
token: string
user: User
} = await fetch(`${process.env.PAYLOAD_PUBLIC_SERVER_URL}/api/users/login`, {
method: 'post',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
},
body: JSON.stringify({
email: testCredentials.email,
password: testCredentials.password,
}),
}).then((res) => res.json());
expect(result.token).toBeDefined();
});
});
```
7. Add a script to run tests via the command line. Add the following to your `package.json` scripts:
```json
"scripts": {
"test": "NODE_OPTIONS=--experimental-vm-modules jest --forceExit --detectOpenHandles"
}
```
8. Run your tests:
```bash
yarn test
```
