Request and Response Spec Builders

`Plan`

Demonstrate the use of Spec Builders in REST Assured framework.

`Program`

Write a program to test the following REST API. Use spec builders to reduce the duplication of code.

Create Place API

Details are given below:

Base URI: https://rahulshettyacademy.com
Resource: /maps/api/place/add/json
HTTP Method: POST
Query Parameters: key=qaclick123
Content-Type: application/json

`Request`

{
  "location": {
    "lat": -38.383494,
    "lng": 33.427362
  },
  "accuracy": 50,
  "name": "Frontline house",
  "phone_number": "(+91) 983 893 3937",
  "address": "29, side layout, cohen 09",
  "types": ["shoe park", "shop"],
  "website": "http://google.com",
  "language": "French-IN"
}

`Response`

{
  "status": "OK",
  "place_id": "928b51f64aed18713b0d164d9be8d67f",
  "scope": "APP",
  "reference": "736f3c9bec384af62a184a1936d42bb0736f3c9bec384af62a184a1936d42bb0",
  "id": "736f3c9bec384af62a184a1936d42bb0"
}

Some things will be common across API's.

Ex:
- Headers
- Query Parameters
- Base URL
- Response Status Code and other assertions
- Extracting the response

Re-Use common code across API's using spec builders

`How to run the program ?`

Clone the github repo
- git clone git@github.com:smarigowda/RESTAssuredUdemyCourse.git
Open the project in Intellij IDE
Run the program SpecBuildersDemo

`Notes`

Request and Response spec builders use Builder Pattern to set various options and then create an object in the end. This is an excellent example of Builder design pattern.

Object returned by the spec builder is passed to .spec() method
