Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

GraphQL Codegen for Fast Check

What?

GraphQL Code Generator lets you generate code from a GraphQL schema. It is commonly used to create Typescript types to ensure the consuming program agrees with the data it is receiving.

Fast-check is a Property Testing framework for Typescript / Javascript. It allows testing properties of a program using arbitrarily generated data. Fast-check uses arbitrarys to create data, that is, descriptions of the data we need to create.

Say we have this datatype...

// our datatype
interface Person {
  name: string;
  age: number;
}

...the code to make the fast-check arbitrary would look like:

import * as fc from "fast-check";

const personArbitrary = fc.record({
  name: fc.string(),
  age: fc.integer()
});

This can then be used in property tests or as generators to create sample test data. The problem is that writing them all by hand and keeping them up to date with your datatypes is a pain.

This library

This library is a plugin for GraphQL Code Generator that creates fast-check Arbitrarys for your schema data types.

How to use

ahem

What's working?

[X] Object types [X] Built-in Scalar types [X] Enumeration types [X] Type modifiers (1) [ ] Custom Scalar types (2) [X] Union types [X] Interface types (3) [ ] Input types (4) [ ] Documents (5)

  1. Currently lists work but we ignore the nullable / non-nullable distinction. Everything is non-nullable for now, this will come soon.
  2. Custom Scalar types are defined outside the schema, frustratingly. For now they all emit a string, the plan is to allow the config to specify a file to override these with the user's own arbitrary instances.
  3. These "work" but need to check whether they are actually correct
  4. Currently these just output a string (why? don't know) - fast-check has a func arbitrary which should make this fairly straightforward to implement.
  5. I haven't even thought about tackling this part yet.

Inspiration

Thanks to fast-check-io-ts for showing me that making arbitrary instances should be easy.
