Testing
Dart already has fantastic testing support, through a library of testing helpers that will make test writing faster. The following functions are exported by package:angel_test, and will make your testing much easier.
connectTo
​Full definition​
This function will start app on an available port, and return a TestClient instance (based on package:angel_client) configured to send requests to the server. The client also supports session manipulation.
main() {
  TestClient client;
​
  setUp(() async {
    client = await connectTo(myApp);
  });
​
  // Shut down server, and cancel pending requests
  tearDown(() => client.close());
​
  test('hello', () async {
    // The server URL is automatically prepended to paths.
    // This returns an http.Response. :)
    var response = await client.get('/hello');
  });
}
isJson
A Matcher that asserts that the given http.Response equals value when decoded as JSON. This uses test.equals internally, so anything that would pass that matcher passes this one.
hasStatus
A Matcher that asserts the given http.Response has the given status code.
