Programmatic API

Questi contenuti non sono ancora disponibili nella tua lingua.

The programmatic API lets you start and stop a yRest server from inside your test suite or any Node.js script — no CLI, no separate process. Import createYrestServer, pass a config object, and use the running server URL in your tests.

import { createYrestServer } from "@yrest/cli";


const server = createYrestServer({ file: "./tests/db.yml", port: 3070 });
await server.start();
// run tests against http://localhost:3070
await server.stop();
