Building and testing APIs with LoopBack and Postman
Blog post from Postman
LoopBack is an open-source tool used for generating NodeJS REST APIs, demonstrated through a tutorial that creates a Jeopardy API using LoopBack, MongoDB, and IBM Cloud, and tests it with Postman. The process involves exporting the API definition to generate a Swagger file, which is imported into Postman to facilitate API testing. Users can manage environments in Postman to switch between different server setups, and employ JavaScript snippets to automate tests, such as ensuring a 200 status code for responses. The tutorial highlights creating a workflow by using environment variables to link requests and writing tests to verify data integrity. Additionally, it explores running entire collections of requests using the Postman Runner, Newman command line tool, or scheduling runs on Postman’s servers for automated monitoring.
