There is no way to create data for a specific test other than from user interface.
That makes tests slow and fragile. Instead of testing a single feature you need to follow all creation/removal process.</p> <p>This helper solves this problem.
Most of web application have API, and it can be used to create and delete test records.
By combining REST API with Factories you can easily create records for tests:</p> <div class="language-js extra-class"><pre class="language-js"><code><span class="token constant">I</span><span class="token punctuation">.</span><span class="token function">have</span><span class="token punctuation">(</span><span class="token string">'user'</span><span class="token punctuation">,</span> <span class="token punctuation">{</span> <span class="token literal-property property">login</span><span class="token operator">:</span> <span class="token string">'davert'</span><span class="token punctuation">,</span> <span class="token literal-property property">email</span><span class="token operator">:</span> <span class="token string">'[email protected]'</span> <span class="token punctuation">}</span><span class="token punctuation">)</span><span class="token punctuation">;</span>
