import { expect } from 'chai';
import sinon from 'sinon';
import { fetchData } from './example';

describe('fetchData', () => {
  it('should fetch data from the API', async () => {
    const mockData = { message: 'Hello, World!' };
    
    // Create a sinon stub for the axios.get method
    const axiosStub = sinon.stub(axios, 'get').resolves({ data: mockData });

    // Call the fetchData function
    const result = await fetchData('https://example.com/api');

    // Ensure that axios.get was called with the correct URL
    sinon.assert.calledWith(axiosStub, 'https://example.com/api');

    // Ensure that the result is equal to the mock data
    expect(result).to.deep.equal(mockData);

    // Restore the original axios.get method
    axiosStub.restore();
  });
});
