I have a REST API server that uses Express, Mongoose and config. I want to unit test my API. Basically, bring up a temporary web server on port x, an empty mongo-database on port y, do some API calls (both gets and puts) and validate what I get back and then shutdown temporary server and drop test database once my tests finish. What is the best way to do this? I have been looking at mocha/rewire but not sure how to set up temporary server and db and not sure what the best practices are.
