Cypress Intercepted Requests

Using the intercept command, let us try to understand the concept of intercepting requests made by the site.

       cy.intercept('GET', '?endpoint=customerchat&page_id=2123438804574660&suppress_http_code=1').as('searchIntercept')
       cy.visit('http://www.autopract.com/#/home/fashion')
       cy.get("button[aria-label='Close'] ").click()
       cy.get('img[src="assets/images/icon/cart.png"]').click()
     
       cy.wait('@searchIntercept').its('response.statusCode').should('eq',200)

The intercept command now matches any requests containing the URL '?endpoint=customerchat&page_id=2123438804574660&suppress_http_code=1'.

We can target different requests with an intercept that includes POST, GET, etc.
For instance, we have used GET here to match the request that only requests with GET should be matched.

cy.intercept({
         'HTTPS': false,
         'method': 'GET',
         'query': {
           'limit': 10
         },
         'path': '?endpoint=customerchat&page_id=2123438804574660&suppress_http_code=1'
       })

Now it is possible in cypress to get multiple requests with limit using this following intercept method.
With intercept, we have to pace the test correctly.
Sometimes cypress does not intercept the requests and URLs we provide.

       cy.wait('@searchIntercept').its('response.statusCode').should('eq',200)

To wait for the request to be intercepted after visiting, we are using the .wait() command.
