# Fixtures

Examples of using fixtures to represent a set of data in Cypress, for a full reference of commands, go to docs.cypress.io

#### cy.fixture()

To load a fixture, use the `cy.fixture()` command.

    cy.server()
    cy
      .fixture('example.json').as('comment')

      .route(/comments/, '@comment').as('getComment')
      .get('.fixture-btn').click()
      .wait('@getComment').its('responseBody')
        .should('have.property', 'name')
          .and('include', 'Using fixtures to represent data')

    // you can also just write the fixture in the route
    cy
      .route(/comments/, 'fixture:example.json').as('getComment')
      .get('.fixture-btn').click()
      .wait('@getComment').its('responseBody')
        .should('have.property', 'name')
          .and('include', 'Using fixtures to represent data')

    // or write fx to represent fixture
    // by default it assumes it's .json
    cy
      .route(/comments/, 'fx:example').as('getComment')
      .get('.fixture-btn').click()
      .wait('@getComment').its('responseBody')
        .should('have.property', 'name')
          .and('include', 'Using fixtures to represent data')
