Inspecting request body?

I am looking for a way to verify that the JSON in my request is structured properly for the API on the server. (I don’t want to match routes or methods against certain request parameters.) Is the only way to inspect the request data via the config.data property in the .reply() method?

For example, I’m doing something like this now:

mock.onPost().reply( ({data}) => { 
    expect(data.items.length).not.toBe(0);
    expect(data.title).toBe("my test title");
    // etc...
    done();
});

but using .reply() for this seems somewhat counterintuitive and I’m wondering if I’m missing something.

There’s no dedicated method for this, did you have something in mind as a proposal? I was thinking it could be like this:

mock.onPost()
  .do(config => {
    // do you expectations or other side effects here
  })
  // We can't just leave the request hanging and need to reply something
  .reply(200);

To verify if the request body is correct, history can be used.
