Testing DELETE /todos/:id

Next Chapter

Test case 2 - should return 404 if todo not found

Test case 1 - should remove a todo

The first test case, it('should remove a todo'), this is going to be test case number one; it's going to verify that when we pass in an ID that does exist inside of the Todos collection, the item gets removed:

describe('DELETE /todos/:id', () => {
   it('should remove a todo', (done) => {

   });
});
