Inspectors

If you need to get more information about the HTTP request, response, body, JSON, etc. Frisby has several built-in helpers that log information to the console for you to see.

frisby.inspectJSON()

it ('GET should return a status of 200 OK', function (done) {
  frisby
    .get('http://api.example.com/ping')
    .inspectJSON()
    .done(done);
});

Output:

}
