# globalSetup() / setup()

## globalSetup(options)

Set any global parameters, headers, etc. that need to be sent with each HTTP request that Frisby sends out.

Most people use this for global headers, authentication, cookies, etc.

### Usage Examples

#### Headers

```javascript
const frisby = require('frisby');

// Do setup first
frisby.globalSetup({
  request: {
    headers: {
      'Authorization': 'Basic ' + Buffer.from("username:password").toString('base64'),
      'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    }
  }
});

// Any global setup is automatically applied to every test
it ('uses globalSetup for every test after it is called', function () {
  return frisby
    .get('http://api.example.com')
    .expect('status', 200);
});
```

## setup(options)

The `setup` method is similar to `globalSetup`, but it only affects a single specific test that it is attached to.

**NOTE: The `setup` call MUST COME BEFORE calls to `get`, `post`, `fetch`, etc.**

### Usage Examples

```javascript
const frisby = require('frisby');

// The 'setup' function only affects a single test
it ('runs setup only for a single test', function () {
  return frisby
    .setup({
      request: {
        headers: {
          'Authorization': 'Basic ' + Buffer.from("username:password").toString('base64')
        }
      }
    })
    .get('http://api.example.com')
    .expect('status', 200);
});
```
