In Cypress, set a token in localStorage before tes

问题:

I want to login and set a localStorage token on the client (specifically jwt)

How can I accomplish this using cy.request, as suggested in the Cypress Documentation?

Here's an example of adding a command cy.login() that you can use in any Cypress test, or put in a beforeEach hook.

Cypress.Commands.add('login', () => { 
  cy.request({
    method: 'POST',
    url: 'http://localhost:3000/api/users/login',
    body: {
      user: {
        email: '[e-mail]',
        password: 'jakejake',
      }
    }
  })
  .then((resp) => {
    window.localStorage.setItem('jwt', resp.body.user.token)
  })

})

Then in your test:

beforeEach(() => {
  cy.login()
})
