API test helpers

This repository makes it easier for you to test REST APIs. We've added a couple of integration testing helpers that you're to use. [block:parameters] { "data": { "h-0": "test helper", "h-1": "Usage", "0-0": "seeApiSuccess()", "0-1": "Asserts response returned using `success` response macro:\n`return response()->success(..)`", "1-0": "seeValidationError()", "1-1": "Asserts response code is 422 and that the error is returned (you get that when Laravel throws a validation error or when you `return response()->error('message', 422);`", "2-0": "seeApiError($status_code)", "2-1": "Asserts for specific status code error.. for example 401.", "3-0": "seeJsonKey($key)", "3-1": "equivalent to `->see('\"'.$key.'\"'):`", "4-0": "seeJsonValue($value)", "4-1": "equivalent to `->see('\"'.$value.'\"')`", "5-0": "seeJsonArray($entity)", "5-1": "equivalent to `->see('\"'.$entity.'\":[')`\nWhich is useful when you expect an array of **Orders** for example.", "6-0": "seeJsonObject($entity)", "6-1": "equivalent to `->see('\"'.$entity.'\":{')`\nWhich is useful when you expect a single **Order** for example." }, "cols": 2, "rows": 7 } [/block] [block:callout] { "type": "info", "body": "Avoid using bcrypt() in your model factory.
