const express = require("express");
const request = require("supertest");

const StatusCodes = { CREATED: 201 };
const fakeUserData = {};

const app = express();

it("returns a 201 on successful signup", (done) => {
  request(app)
    .post("/signup")
    .send(fakeUserData)
    .expect(StatusCodes.CREATED)
    .end((err, res) => {

        return done(err);
      }
      expect(res.body.message).toBe("success");
      return done();
    });
});

// equivalently:
// 
// it("returns a 201 on successful signup", () => {
//   return request(app)
//     .post("/signup")
//     .send(fakeUserData)
//     .expect(StatusCodes.CREATED, { message: "success" });
// });
