00:00:01,090 --> 00:00:05,320
In this video we're going to take a look at a very easy way to capture the cookie that gets sent back

2
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:10,350
to us during this initial request and include that cookie in the follow up request right after it.

3
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:13,390
We're going to first take a look at this very easy way of handling this.

4
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:17,830
But then after that we're going to start to do a little bit larger refactor to make it really easy to

5
00:00:17,830 --> 00:00:22,600
make authenticated requests in the future because again just about every other service we're going to

6
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:27,180
put together and write test for we're going to have to be authenticated to make requests to it.

7
00:00:27,190 --> 00:00:32,290
So we want make sure that in a testing environment it is really really easy to get authenticated.

8
00:00:32,290 --> 00:00:32,530
OK.

9
00:00:32,530 --> 00:00:35,020
So here's the very easy solution.

10
00:00:35,020 --> 00:00:39,460
We're going to first take a look at the initial request right here which should be giving us back a

11
00:00:39,460 --> 00:00:40,740
cookie.

12
00:00:40,780 --> 00:00:43,360
I'm going to capture the response so we get sent.

13
00:00:43,390 --> 00:00:49,660
So I will call this something like off response maybe a better name for it would be like sign up response

14
00:00:49,660 --> 00:00:51,070
or something like that.

15
00:00:51,070 --> 00:00:58,050
So inside there is going to be the cookie that we actually care about so we can extract that thing using

16
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:03,630
response or off response that get set.

17
00:01:03,630 --> 00:01:07,210
Cookie so we are pulling off that authentication cookie.

18
00:01:07,220 --> 00:01:10,620
That is the thing that contains our Jason web token inside of it.

19
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:15,240
We now want to take that cookie and include it in this follow up request that we're making right here.

20
00:01:15,350 --> 00:01:18,760
We can do so very easily by right after the dot get.

21
00:01:18,820 --> 00:01:22,880
We're gonna add in another change on method of set.

22
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:26,390
We can use set to set different headers on the requests or about to make.

23
00:01:26,390 --> 00:01:32,060
So in this case we're going to set the cookie better and we'll set it to the cookie that we got from

24
00:01:32,060 --> 00:01:34,020
the initial auth response.

25
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:38,990
They'll put in cookie like so.

26
00:01:39,050 --> 00:01:47,130
All right so let's now save this with back over to our terminal as are rerunning and there we go there

27
00:01:47,130 --> 00:01:48,470
is our current user.

28
00:01:48,510 --> 00:01:52,740
Now we could very easily write out a test and make sure that there is a current user property that is

29
00:01:52,740 --> 00:01:56,580
defined and that there's some kind of e mail defined on there as well.

30
00:01:56,590 --> 00:02:04,330
So for example I'm going to replace the console dot log right here but then expect response dot body

31
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:09,720
not current user dot email to equal.

32
00:02:09,900 --> 00:02:13,800
And we'll have that email we'll make sure that it equals the email we had signed up as originally up

33
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:14,500
here.

34
00:02:14,740 --> 00:02:18,970
That will say test at test dot com.

35
00:02:19,060 --> 00:02:24,940
Let's say that you know flip back over and after these tests run again we should see now current user

36
00:02:24,940 --> 00:02:27,630
is passing very good.

37
00:02:27,740 --> 00:02:28,000
All right.

38
00:02:28,010 --> 00:02:29,930
So it's headed out this approach right here works.

39
00:02:29,930 --> 00:02:36,830
But as I mentioned every other service so we test are going to have to probably initially sign up somehow.

40
00:02:36,830 --> 00:02:41,300
In other words we want to build to make authenticate requests to these other services very very easily

41
00:02:41,300 --> 00:02:42,750
in a testing environment.

42
00:02:42,930 --> 00:02:44,300
So going to take a quick pause right here.

43
00:02:44,330 --> 00:02:49,100
When we come back the next video we're going to refactor some of this authentication stuff into a helper

44
00:02:49,100 --> 00:02:50,980
function and his helper function.

45
00:02:50,990 --> 00:02:54,810
We're going to eventually kind of copy paste around to a lot of different services.

46
00:02:54,890 --> 00:02:59,480
It's going to make testing authentication and making sure we can make up their ticket requests really

47
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:03,330
easy and straightforward so quick pause and I'll see you in just a minute.
