See the root README on how to build this project.

Usage

The library is broken into a couple of parts:

mockPBI

This provides a mock global powerbi instance for usage within unit testing, to use mockPBI just require it.

import "@essex/visual-testing-tools/lib/mockPBI"; // or require()
// The powerbi global is now defined

visualHelpers

This provides a set of testing tools to mock powerbi API objects, such as IVisual.update option objects or dataViews.

import { Utils } from "@essex/visual-testing-tools"; // or require()
const myVisual = createVisual();
const updateOptions = Utils.createUpdateOptionsWithData();
myVisual.update(updateOptions);
