NAME
    Plack::Test::Simple - Object-Oriented PSGI Application Testing

VERSION
    version 0.000001

SYNOPSIS
    Plack::Test::Simple is a collection of testing helpers for anyone
    developing Plack applications. This module is a wrapper around
    Plack::Test, based on the design of Test::Mojo, providing a unified
    interface to test PSGI applications using HTTP::Request and
    HTTP::Response objects. Typically a Plack web application's deployment
    stack includes various middlewares and utilities which are now even
    easier to test along-side the actual web application code.

SYNOPSIS
        use Test::More;
        use Plack::Test::Simple;

        my $t   = Plack::Test::Simple->new('/path/to/app.psgi');
        my $req = $t->request;
        my $res = $t->response;

        # setup
        $req->headers->authorization_basic('h@cker', 's3cret');
        $req->headers->content_type('application/json');
        $req->content('');

        # text GET request
        $t->can_get('/')->status_is(200);
        $t->content_like(qr/hello world/i);

        # json POST request
        $t->can_post('/search')->status_is(200);
        $t->data_has('/results/4/title');

ATTRIBUTES
  data
    The data attribute contains a hashref corresponding to the UTF-8 decoded
    JSON string found in the HTTP response body.

  psgi
    The psgi attribute contains a coderef containing the PSGI compliant
    application code.

  request
    The request attribute contains the HTTP::Request object which will be
    used to process the HTTP requests. This attribute is never reset.

  response
    The response attribute contains the HTTP::Response object which will be
    automatically set upon issuing an HTTP requests. This attribute is reset
    upon each request.
