Run automated tests

This example will help you implement and run automated tests with Forest Admin.

A typical use case, would be to run automated test on:
your different smart actions
your CRUD routes
to avoid testing them manually.

const axios = require('axios');
const jwt = require('jsonwebtoken');
​
const FOREST_AUTH_SECRET = //The content of the FOREST_AUTH_SECRET from your app
