garðr-validator

Collect data from a display-ads lifecyle and validate the data. This project tries to give a nice framework for doing this.

Installation

$ npm install

Examples

See the web-gui for this project: https://github.com/gardr/validator-web/blob/master/lib/routes/validate.js#L284

Writing intrumentation and validators

Intrument / Hook example filename: 'someData.js':

module.exports = {
    'onBeforeExit': function (api, config) {
        api.switchToIframe();
        if (config.someConfigBoolean){
            api.set('collectedData', api.evaluate(function(config){
                return window.someData;
            }, config));
        }
    }
};

Preprocessor example filename 'fixSomethingAsync.js'

module.exports = {
    'dependencies': ['someData'],
    'preprocess': function(harvested, output, next, globalOptions){
        output('someKey', {data: harvested.someData||{}});
        setTimeout(next, 1);
    }
};

Validator example filename 'someData.js'

module.exports = {
    'preprocessors': [
        'fixSomethingAsync'
    ],
    'dependencies': [
        'someData'
    ],
    'validate': function(harvested, report, next, globalOptions){
        if (this.someConfigBoolean){
            if (harvested.someData){
                report.error('Some message');
            }
        }
    }
};

Adding instrumentation/hooks etc to a run

var run = require('gardr-validator');
var options = {
    'include': [
        {
            name: 'someData',
            path: '/resolved/path/to/someData.js'
        }
    ],
    'config':{
        'someData': {
            'someConfigBoolean': true
        }
    }
};
run(options, function(phantomError, harvest, report){
    if (phantomError){
        // do something
        return;
    }
    assert(harvest.someData);
    assert(harvest.someKey);
    assert(report.errors.length === 1);
})

Options to runner

{
    instrument: [
        'actions', // defaults to files in /lib/rule/instrument/actions.js
        {name: 'css'},
        {name: 'custom', path: '/absolute/path/to/file'},
        {name: 'custom2', code: 'var someCode = "";'}
    ],
    preprocess: [
        //..
    ],
    validate: [
        //..
    ]
    //rest of runner default options, see /config folder.
}
