Meteor - Stub Collections

Intro

Easily stub out Meteor collections with in-memory local collections. The idea here is to allow the use of things like Factories for unit tests and styleguides without having to restrict ourselves to making components "pure". So a component (ie. a template) can still call Widgets.findOne(widgetId), it's just that we will have stubbed out Widgets to point to a local collection that we can completely control in our test.

Installation

meteor add meteor-stub-collections-ts

Usage via ES6 import

// client or server
import StubCollections from 'meteor/hwillson:stub-collections';

API

• StubCollections.add([collection1, collection2, ...]) - register the default list of collections to stub.
• StubCollections.stub() - stub all collections that have been previously enabled for stubbing via add().
• StubCollections.stub([collection1, collection2, ...]) - stub a specific list of collections, overriding the list registered via add().
• StubCollections.restore() - undo stubbing (call at the end of tests, on routing away, etc.)

Examples

See this packages tests.
