• Assertions can optionally take a path

By default, to avoid needing to know the values of these ahead of time, the following keys are ignored for all JSON objects: id, inserted_at, and updated_at.

This can be reconfigured as follows:

config :test_that_json,
  excluded_keys: ~w(id inserted_at updated_at some other keys)

These are simple strings of "/"-separated object keys and array indexes passed to has_json_path. For instance, with the following JSON:

{
  "first_name": "Jon",
  "last_name": "Snow",
  "friends": [
    {
      "first_name": "Know",
      "last_name": "Nothing"
    }
  ]
}

We could access the first friend's first name with the path "friends/0/first_name".

Thanks to the creators and maintainers of the Ruby json_spec project for heavy inspiration.

1. Add test_that_json as a test-only dependency in mix.exs:

def deps do
  [{:test_that_json, "~> 0.5.0", only: :test}]
end
