JSON filter&assert function in Node.js

i receive following response from api:






{
"fieldErrors": [
{
"field": "firstName",
"code": "Pattern",
"message": "Invalid characters"
},
{
"field": "repeatPassword",
"code": "Size",
"message": "Size must be between 6 and 64 characters"
},
{
"field": "password",
"code": "Size",
"message": "Size must be between 6 and 64 characters"
},
{
"field": "firstName",
"code": "Size",
"message": "Size must be between 3 and 32 characters"
},
{
"field": "lastName",
"code": "Pattern",
"message": "Invalid characters"
},
{
"field": "email",
"code": "Size",
"message": "Size must be between 3 and 256 characters"
},
{
"field": "password",
"code": "AmRestUser.PasswordTooWeak",
"message": "Password is to weak (must consist of upper and lower case, digits, and can't contain first name)."
},
{
"field": "phoneNo",
"code": "order.summary.invalidPhone",
"message": "Invalid Phone"
}
],
"isSuccess": false
}





I writing api tests in using Mocha and i want to check fields of all existing errors



I write following tests:






      var selected = res.body.fieldErrors.filter(function(item){
return (item["field"]=="firstName" && item["code"] == "Pattern" && item["message"]=="Invalid characters");
});
assert.equal(selected.length,1);

selected = res.body.fieldErrors.filter(function(item){
return (item["field"]=="repeatPassword" && item["code"] == "Size" && item["message"]=="Size must be between 6 and 64 characters");
});
assert.equal(selected.length,1);





Tests works for me, but there is lot of a redundant code, in this case i should write same code eight times, it is difficult to maintain



Now i want to write one function, in parameters I could pass json, and names of code, message and field. Function should return the number of occurrences, how can i do it?

          You didn't tell us which assert library you use, but here is the simpliest way to do this (without any additional function or mapping):



          For chai's assert see: deepEqual
          eg.: assert.deepEqual(res.body, expected)



          For node.js assert see: deepStrictEqual
          eg.: assert.deepStrictEqual(res.body, expected)



          expected is a constans with the object you pasted in your first code snippet. Or of course you can change it to the fieldErrors array. It is up to you.



          With this you need to maintain only the list of errors if something changes.
