Authentication

Basic authCopy Anchor Link

BasicAuth sets the Authorization header with the encoded username and password:

apitest.Handler(handler).
	Get("/admin").
	BasicAuth("username", "password").
	Expect(t).
	Status(http.StatusOK).
	End()

Bearer tokens and API keysCopy Anchor Link

Tokens are ordinary headers:

apitest.Handler(handler).
	Get("/me").
	Header("Authorization", "Bearer "+token).
	Expect(t).
	Status(http.StatusOK).
	End()

If every test needs the same credentials, put them in a helper that configures the test. When the handler expects a signature computed from the final request, compute it in an interceptor.

Asserting on tokens in the responseCopy Anchor Link

The JSONPath module can decode a JWT returned by a login endpoint and assert on its header and claims.
