AdonisJS gives Nodejs developers a structured way to build full-stack apps and APIs with little boilerplate. In this course, you will learn how AdonisJS works by building
1. A quiz app
2. An admin CMS for the quiz app
Each chapter focuses on a core concept of AdonisJS using the app as a reference. 
The course covers
1. MVC architecture
2. Authentication
3. Authorization
4. Browser testing
At the end of this course, you'll be able to confidently build fullstack applications using AdonisJS.

Build a Trivia Quiz App with AdonisJS

# Getting started testing Adonis apps
`@adonisjs/vow`, the standard library built for the framework uses chai under the hood for assertions. We will mainly be testing using assertions. Get started by installing vow
```bash
adonis install @adonisjs/vow
```
The installation adds three files to your project. Add the configuration to the aceProviders array of app.js

```
const aceProviders = [
  // ...other providers
  '@adonisjs/vow/providers/VowProvider'
]
```
You can see how testing works by testing example.spec.js
```js
adonis test
```
Output
```
  Example
    ✓ make sure 2 + 2 is 4 (2ms)

   PASSED 

  total       : 1
  passed      : 1
  time        : 6ms
```

# Pre-testing checklist: Suites and Traits
Below is the content of the example test file. 
```js
'use strict'

const { test } = use('Test/Suite')('Example')

test('make sure 2 + 2 is 4', async ({ assert }) => {
  assert.equal(2 + 2, 4)
})
```
Notice that we are destructuring the test function from `Test/Suite`. Since we are testing APIs, we need a JS version of Postman. This is provided by `Test/ApiClient`, a trait. Traits were implemented to keep the test runner lean, so any desired functionality is required when needed.

Basically, we obtain trait from Suite and require the `Test/ApiClient` trait. Since some of our routes require authentication, we also require the `Auth/Client` trait.
```js
const { test, trait } = use("Test/Suite")("Example");

trait("Test/ApiClient");
trait("Auth/Client");
```
To understand more about Suites and Traits, I suggest you read the [docs](https://adonisjs.com/docs/4.1/testing#_testing_suite_traits). The Adonis team did a job explaining Suites and Traits.
