Warnings

The design document generation doesn't check if the directory structure matching to the rules of couchdb design document syntax, although able to generate any type of them without attachmented. For proper use you need to know this rules. By testing you can discover many case of different missable usage.

Generating_javascript_design_documents

To generate a javascript design document its structure always must be specifyed in a directory which name will be the name of generated design document, you can generating design documents for Mango indexes by specify them in a single json file but you can define several. The javascript design document generation work the way, to allow you to write them like every other javascript module. So way if yours editor will able to indicate the syntax errors appropriately.

1. If the file is json file then becomes field contain the json file content. (you can use this to specify ddoc options.)
2. If the file not json or js file then becomes to String field. (you can use this to specify a built-in reducer for a view.)
3. If the file is shape name.lib.js, then becomes String field named as the filename name part and containing the js file content and becomes to available as a common js library in testing case.
4. If the file is a js file contain a function or functions for example view map function and reduce function then additional rules apply.
   • These functions must be named. (This is a benefit because the syntax check doesn't indicated as wrong.)
   • The functions must be exported with module.exports = { functionName, otherFunction }
   • If the file contain only one function with the same name as file itself then becomes to String field containing the proper function implementation. Otherwise if it contain more then one function or different named function then becomes to object type field with the proper content.
   • You can export constans as well for example a reduce constat for a view to use built-in coucdb reducer.

By the feature: js file contain only one function with the same name as file itself then becomes to String field. You can create more sophisticated structure. For example if you have several update functions writen in a single updates.js file you can even create an updates directory with additional files followed rules of same name function. This way the result will be an updates object containing the updates.js and the updates directory content.

Example directory structure

design

│   ├── options.json
│   ├── updates
│   │   └── updateFomDir.js

Exapmle files:

view by file: //ddocName/views/viewname.js

function map (doc){
    emit(doc.name,1);
}

function reduce (keys,values,rereduce){
    if(rereduce){
        return sum(values);
    }else{
        return values.length;
    }
}
// or
const reduce = "_count";

module.exports = { map, reduce }

view by directory: ddocName/views/viewname/map.js

function map (doc){
    emit(doc.name,1);
}

module.exports = { map }

ddocName/views/viewname/reduce.js

function reduce (keys,values,rereduce){
    if(rereduce){
        return sum(values);
    }else{
        return values.length;
    }
}
module.exports = { reduce }

Common js library: designName/path/tolib.lib.js (view map function can only require library under path views/libname )

function libfunc1 (){
    ...
}
function libfunc2 (){
    ...
}
module.exports = { libfunc1, libfunc2 }

Generating_Mango_indexes

The mango indexes storing too is in design documents but its laguage field is query. You can generate indexes by specify them in a json file with the rules below:

1. The json file name will becomes to ddoc name. (you can generate multiple index ddocs with multiple json.)
2. The given content's partitioned boolean field specify if the generated ddoc's indexes is partotioned or not.
3. Every further field in json will becomes an index by its name and by its value what follow the rules of couchdb index endpoint's index field.

Example json for Mango indexes:

design/mangoddoc.json
{
   "partitioned":true,
   "parent-index":{
       "partial_filter_selector": {
           "type":{"$ne":"orphan"}
       },
       "fields": [
          "parent"
       ]
   } 
}

Generating_exapmle

Create multiple design documents from root directory of them.

import { designer } from '@zargu/couchdb-designer';

designer('./design').then(documents => {
    /* documents here [
        {_id:"_design/appdesign",language:"javascript",lib:{couchdb:{...}} ...},
        {_id:"_design/mangoIndexes",language:"query",views:{"parent-index":{...}}...}
    ]*/
},err => console.log(err));

Testing

With createTestServer you can create a context represented by directory by the same way like at designer but you can here declare a testDatabase, userCtx, secObj in parameters. This context object contains all ddoc in its fields with the same structure as the given design ducument has but with invokeable functions. These functions in the context object have the near same environment as in a working couchdb. Some of these functions by them nature return result which you can use testing with jest easily. But what if you want to test something like a view's map function which doesn't return the result directly, only call the couchdb built-in emit and maybe log functions. In these cases you can call the context as a function with the emitted or logged string parameter for get the indirect result of previously called functions. After calling the previously gathered data will be deleted but among two calling of them gathering every indirect data. The rest built-in couchdb functions is too mockFunctions and available in the same way by calling the context as a function and give their name as a string parameter, for example context("registerType") will give you the given built-in mockFunction. When calling the available functions under the context object, they will verify their own implementation then throws error if something wrong happen, for example when calling irrelevant built in function inside your ddoc function.

    createTestServer(directory,testDatabase[,userCtx, secObj])

• directory : The directory which containing the javascript design documents directory structures and json files of indexes.
• testDatabase : An object representing the test database.
  • name : The name of the test database.
  • data : An array of objects representing th test database's data.
  • partitioned : Optional boolean value to indicate if database is partitioned.
• userCtx : Default userCtx object if not declared the userCtx will be:

    {db:'testdatabase',name:null,roles:["_admin"]}

• secObj : Default security object if not declared will be:

   {members:{roles:["_admin"]},admins:{roles:["_admin"]}}

Map_reduce

An other but much better way of view testing instead of emitted is the calling the context with server or _design parameter which give back an object what you can use as emulator of couchdb. For example context("server").ddocName.view.viewname() insted of context.ddocName.views.viewname.map(). For this opportunity you have to set the testDatabase with the createTestServer second parameter. With server object you can testing the given view in context of map/reduce,grouping and the previously setted testDatabase. The server object's functions result the same as if you get by the given function's result from a real couchdb.It is waiting for an optional object parameter with reduce (boolean), group (boolean), group_level (integer) field with same meaning like the couchdb's viewFunction query parameters. These functions return the correct result even if you set one of built-in couchdb reducers instead of self implemented. Additionally if the test database is partitioned, and the design document as well wich containing the given view, you must pass the partition name as second parameter.

Update_testing

Similar to map/reduce testing you can test updateFunctions for example:

    context("_design").ddocName.update.updateName(request[,doc_id]);

• request : The request object. whitch will be supplement by previously given or default userCtx, secObj an other fields. if you specify userCtx in this then that won't be overwritten with the default.
• doc_id : Optional document id. If it is an existed id in testDatabase then the invocation will get the given doc Otherwise it only will be appear in supplemented request.id.

The result will be the original updateFunction result's second element depending on the updated testDatabase or an error message from validate_doc_update or another error if your functions do something dirty. You can verify the updated testDatabase by calling context as function with database string or can get a particular document by specify them id in second parameter. Note that if it is the only way to make impact of testDatabases and _changes state. Any other direct calling of your functions will non impact.

Changes_and_Filters

You can pass the _changes string parameter to context for get the changes of testdatabase. If you pass a second parameter then its must be an "object" with the field "filter" contain the path of your filterFunction and an optional field request which will be given to your filterFunction at its invocation. This request object will be supplemented similar as at updateFunction's.

for example: /database/_changes?filter=ddocname/filtername

    context('_changes',{filter:'ddocname/filtername'})

Mango_indexes_and_queries

The Mango indexes in a couchdb database is working the same way like views. For tesing them you have to define them by json file as describe in earlyer. The index themself you can testing by calling its map function as if it is a view, or you can use the map/reduce testing the same way like views. ( remember the reducer of the mango indexes is the built in _count reducer which you can disable by view parameter ) Additionally you can testing mango queries with find endpoint. The result will be depend on the defined indexes and on test database and on the given partition name. In a query you can give the selector,sort,fields,use_index fields and get the waited results or errors if the query or indexes was defined wrong. You can specify the partition name in find function second parameter.

    createTestServer('./design',testDatabase).then(context => {
            // calling index map function.
            expect(context.mangoddoc.views.indexName.map(doc)).toEqual({_id:...});
            // 
            expect(context('_design').mangoddoc.view.indexName({reduce:false},'partition')).toEqual({_id:...});
            // run a mango query.
            expect(server('server').find({
                selector:{
                    parent:{
                        "$gt":"aoger"
                    }
                },
                sort:['parent'],
                fields:['parent','type'],
                use_index:['mangoddoc','parent-index']
            },
            'partition'
            )).toEqual({docs:{parent:"..."...}});
    })

Automatic_request_supplementing

The supplementing of request object not only even valid the case of particular context functions like "_changes -> filter" or "_design -> update" testing but in case of direct calling of "update,show,list,filter" functions. The content of supplemented request object depend on "testDatabase,userCtx,secObj" parameters. By specify the request's "headers,body,form,query,cookie,method,peer,uuid,userCtx** fields you can overwrite the default values.

Deafult request object:

const request = {
    body: "undefined",
    cookie: {},
    form: {},
    headers: {
        Accept: "*/*",
        Host: "localhost:5984",
        "User-Agent": "couchdb-designer/testing environment"
    },
    id: null, //The case of direct calling of functions on context object is always null. Otherwise the processed doc id.
    info: {
        db_name: "testdatabase",
        doc_count: 0,  // depend on testDatabase.
        doc_del_count: 0,
        update_seq: 0, // depend on testDatabase and updates.
        purge_seq: 0,
        compact_running: false,
        sizes: {
          active: 0,
          disk: 0,
          external: 0
        },
        instance_start_time: "1347601025628957",
        disk_format_version: 6,
        committed_update_seq: 0, // same as update_seq
    },
    method: "POST",
    path: [], // depend on called function
    peer: "127.0.0.1",
    query: {},
    raw_path: "",
    requested_path: [],
    secObj: {}, // default or given seCobj
    userCtx: {}, // default or given or overwrited userCtx
    uuid: "3184f9d1ea934e1f81a24c71bde5c168" // generated by Date.now() or pre specifyed by you.
