I created a simple HTTP Test for my application:

<?php

namespace Tests\Feature;

use App\Models\Author;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Testing\DatabaseMigrations;
use Illuminate\Testing\Fluent\AssertableJson;
use Tests\TestCase;

class AuthorControllerTest extends TestCase
{
    use DatabaseMigrations;

    public function setUp(): void
    {
        parent::setUp();

        $this->seed();
    }

    /**
     * Test the Index Route of Author Controller.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function test_index_route()
    {
        $response = $this->get('/api/authors');

        $response->assertJson(
            fn (AssertableJson $json) =>
            $json->has(2)->first(
                function (AssertableJson $json) {
                    $json->hasAll(['id', 'name', 'description',]);
                    $json->missingAll(['email', 'avatar', 'twitter', 'password', 'created_at', 'updated_at']);
                }
            )
        );

        $response->assertStatus(200);
        $response->assertSuccessful();

        $response->assertJsonCount(2);
    }
}

Here the response from the server:

{
    "current_page": 1,
    "data": [
        {
            "id": 1,
            "name": "Official Author",
            "description": "Author Description"
        },
        {
            "id": 2,
            "name": "User",
            "description": "User Description"
        }
    ],
    "first_page_url": "http://localhost:8000/api/authors?page=1",
    "from": 1,
    "next_page_url": null,
    "path": "http://localhost:8000/api/authors",
    "per_page": 3,
    "prev_page_url": null,
    "to": 2
}

So… I can’t found a solution to get just the data attribute and use the hasAll() and missingAll() functions on Tests.

I’ve searched for an entire day, but nothing. The only solution i founded is converting the json to array, make loops and checking the keys, but i think there is a possible using the hasAll()andmissingAll()` functions, which is simpler.

And if have any other simple solution, I would like to know how it is implemented.
