Question - How to test `EdgeRenderer#share`

Say I have some middleware like:

import type { HttpContext } from '@adonisjs/core/http'
import type { NextFn } from '@adonisjs/core/types/http'

export default class ViewDataMiddleware {
  async handle(ctx: HttpContext, next: NextFn) {
    ctx.view.share({
      something: 'to test'
    })

    return await next()
  }
}

How can I do assertions to check that data was indeed shared with the view?

My use case here is that I've a bunch of data for every view (like site name and summary, and these appear on all pages, so loading them in middleware and then sharing that way felt cleaner, but I don't actually need to load them when I do content-negotiation to json, only for html, so I'd like to assert that's the case.

I think if you write a unit test just for the middleware, then you could test it with a fake instance of HTTP context right?

However, we will have to add a renderer.getState() method that should return the globals and the locals of an Edge renderer. Happy to accept a PR for the same

@thetutlage have opened https://github.com/edge-js/edge/pull/167 which should implement this as described.
