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 🙏

Utilities for testing LoopBack apps

overview

The following helpers are designed to generate [mocha] tests against LoopBack apps.

install

  1. npm install loopback-testing --save-dev
  2. Assuming you started with a clean template/project generated by slc loopback
  3. If you have mocha installed as a global npm module that's great! Simply update <your_project>/package.json with:
```
{
  ...
  "scripts": {
    ...
    "test": "mocha"
  }
}
```
  1. Otherwise, you can utilize the mocha library within the loopback-testing testing module:
```
{
  ...
  "scripts": {
    ...
    "test": "./node_modules/loopback-testing/node_modules/.bin/mocha"
  }
}
```
  1. Run npm test to execute any tests under the test directory.

basic usage

Below is a simple LoopBack app.

var loopback = require('loopback');
var app = loopback();
var Product = app.model('product');
Product.attachTo(loopback.memory());

Use the loopback-testing module to generate mocha tests.

var lt = require('loopback-testing');
var assert = require('assert');
var app = require('../server/server.js'); //path to app.js or server.js

describe('/products', function() {
  lt.beforeEach.withApp(app);
  lt.describe.whenCalledRemotely('GET', '/products', function() {
    lt.it.shouldBeAllowed();
    it('should have statusCode 200', function() {
      assert.equal(this.res.statusCode, 200);
    });

    lt.beforeEach.givenModel('product');
    it('should respond with an array of products', function() {
      assert(Array.isArray(this.res.body));
    });
  });
});

call remote only once

By default whenCalledRemotely will be run before each it(). This can be changed to run only once by adding a $once as a param to the callback function (i.e. lt.describe.whenCalledRemotely('GET', '/', function($once) {..}))

var lt = require('loopback-testing');
var assert = require('assert');
var app = require('../server/server.js'); //path to app.js or server.js

describe('/products', function() {
  lt.beforeEach.withApp(app);
  lt.describe.whenCalledRemotely('POST', '/products', {
      name: 'product-1'
    }, function($once) {
      
      var id;

      it('should have statusCode 200', function() {
        id = this.res.body.id;
        assert.equal(this.res.statusCode, 200);
      });

      it('should have only been called once', function() {
        assert.equal(this.res.body.id, id);
      });
    });
});

building test data

Use TestDataBuilder to build many Model instances in one async call. Specify only properties relevant to your test, the builder will pre-fill remaining required properties with sensible defaults.

var TestDataBuilder = require('loopback-testing').TestDataBuilder;
var ref = TestDataBuilder.ref;

// The context object to hold the created models.
// You can use `this` in mocha test instead.
var context = {};

var ref = TestDataBuilder.ref;
new TestDataBuilder()
  .define('application', Application, {
    pushSettings: { stub: { } }
  })
  .define('device', Device, {
     // use the value of application's id
     // the value is resolved at build time
     appId: ref('application.id'),
     deviceType: 'android'
  })
  .define('notification', Notification)
  .buildTo(context, function(err) {
    // test models are available as
    //   context.application
    //   context.device
    //   context.notification
  });
