POC for Contract Testing (Pact)
This POC is created using a nodejs library called Pact.
https://github.com/pact-foundation/pact-js
Pact is a contract testing tool. Contract testing is a way to ensure that services (such as an API provider and a client) can communicate with each other. https://docs.pact.io/readme
How to use
Required packages and basic setup is done. There are useful comments included so code should be pretty straight forward.
You're all set to start writing tests :-)
