🚀 Running Tests

All Tests

npm test                   # Run all tests
npm run test:watch         # Run tests in watch mode
npm run test:coverage      # Run tests with coverage report
npm run test:ci            # Run tests for CI/CD (no watch)

Specific Test Types

npm run test:unit          # Unit tests only
npm run test:integration   # Integration tests only

• Configuration validation
• Default value handling
• Error handling for missing config

resendService.test.ts

• HTML generation

Integration Tests

Test API endpoints and service interactions.

api.test.ts

• All API endpoints (/health, /api/emails/*)
• Request/response validation
• Error handling
• Status codes

rateLimit.test.ts

• Rate limiting behavior
• Rate limit headers
• Blocked requests
• Non-rate-limited endpoints

End-to-End Tests

Test complete user workflows.

emailFlow.test.ts

• Complete email sending flows
• Resend API integration
• Error scenarios
• Email content validation

🛠️ Test Utilities

Custom Matchers

expect('user@example.com').toBeValidEmail();
expect('https://example.com').toBeValidUrl();

Mock Setup

• Resend API: Mocked for all tests
• React DOM Server: Mocked HTML generation
• Template Renderer: Mocked template components
• Console: Mocked to reduce test noise

Test Data

const validInvitation = {
  to: 'user@example.com',
  eventName: 'Test Event',
  dateTime: '2026-03-15 10:00',
  location: 'Conference Room A',
  ctaUrl: 'https://example.com/rsvp',
  company: { name: 'Test Company' }
};

🔧 Test Configuration

Jest Configuration (jest.config.js)

• TypeScript: Full ES modules support
• Coverage: 80% threshold across all metrics
• Timeout: 10 seconds per test
• Setup: Automatic test environment setup

Environment Variables

Tests use isolated environment variables:

process.env.RESEND_API_KEY = 'test-api-key';
process.env.FROM_DOMAIN = 'test.com';
process.env.NODE_ENV = 'test';
process.env.LOG_LEVEL = 'error'; // Reduce noise

📝 Writing Tests

Unit Test Example

describe('Email Validation', () => {
  it('should validate correct email addresses', () => {
    expect(validateEmail('user@example.com')).toBe(true);
  });

  it('should reject invalid email addresses', () => {
    expect(validateEmail('invalid-email')).toBe(false);
  });
});

Integration Test Example

describe('API Endpoints', () => {
  it('should send invitation email', async () => {
    const response = await request(app)
      .post('/api/emails/invitation')
      .send(validInvitationData)
      .expect(200);

    expect(response.body).toMatchObject({
      success: true,
      messageId: expect.any(String)
    });
  });
});

E2E Test Example

describe('Email Flow', () => {
  it('should handle complete invitation flow', async () => {
    mockResend.mockResolvedValueOnce({
      data: { id: 'msg_123' },
      error: null
    });

    const response = await request(app)
      .post('/api/emails/invitation')
      .send(completeInvitationData)
      .expect(200);

    // Verify Resend was called correctly
    expect(mockResend).toHaveBeenCalledWith(
      expect.objectContaining({
        to: 'user@example.com',
        subject: expect.stringContaining('Invitation')
      })
    );
  });
});

🚨 Test Best Practices

1. Test Structure

• Arrange: Set up test data
• Act: Execute the function/endpoint
• Assert: Verify the results

2. Test Isolation

• Each test is independent
• No shared state between tests
• Clean mocks between tests

3. Descriptive Names

// Good
it('should reject invitation with invalid email address', () => {});

// Bad
it('should fail', () => {});

4. Test Edge Cases

• Invalid inputs
• Network errors
• Rate limiting
• Empty responses

5. Mock External Dependencies

• Resend API calls
• React rendering
• File system operations
• Network requests
