1st run the command npm test in the console and see if everything is all good. Then run:
$ npm start
> project-mulla@0.1.1 start ../project-mulla
> node index.js
Your secret session key is: 5f06b1f1-1bff-470d-8198-9ca2f18919c5
Express server listening on 8080, in development mode
Now make a test run using CURL:
$ curl -i -X POST \
--url http://localhost:8080/api/v1/payment/request \
--data 'phoneNumber=254723001575' \
--data 'totalAmount=10.00' \
--data 'clientName="Eugene Mutai"' \
--data 'clientLocation=Kilimani' \
Or if you have httpie installed, run:
$ http POST localhost:8080/api/v1/payment/request \
phoneNumber='254723001575' \
totalAmount='10.00' \
clientName='Eugene Mutai' \
clientLocation='Kilimani'
Once the request is executed, your console should print a similar structured response as below:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
