docs: Testing your extension #579
Description
Overview
Thinking in LoopBack explains how to write tests for as part of app development. We should create a similar content explaining extension developers how to write a good test suite.
Acceptance Criteria
- Verify if the Thinking In LoopBack docs provide a solid approach for testing your components/extensions.
- Extend "Writing Extensions" to describe how to test:
- providers
- controllers
- repositories
- SequenceActions (REST-specific)
- mixins (adding application methods/configuration)
- how to test controllers/repositories provided by the mixin
- testing to ensure your mixin is available to other components (
app.component(...)API) - introducing new binding sugar functions (
app.foo(...)) see feat(repository): Introduce Mixin to support repo binding #541 for an example
