Introduction

This is a simple library which avoids using real database in my JavaScript teachings.

It is just a stupid wrapper around a array which provides a easy API for listing, adding, getting and removing items.

API

const FakeModel = require('simple-fake-model');

const model = new FakeModel();

Implemented features:

• model.list() which returns an array with all the items stored.
• model.insert(object) which accepts an object and stores it with an id. Inserted item is returned.
• model.getById(id) which accepts an id and returns the item stored with provided id.
• model.deleteById(id) which removes the item with provided id.
• model.updateById(id, object) which updates the item with provided id.

All the methods are synchronous

Installation

Install using NPM

npm install --save simple-fake-model

Useful npm tasks

The module has some npm scripts which could be useful for developing purpose:

• npm test runs the linter, all the tests and gives test coverage statistics
• npm run test:unit runs the unit testing. Using npm run test:unit:watch will watch for changes
• npm run test:coverage show coverage statistics
• npm run lint lints the code

Contributing and help

Criticism

I know the library is stupid as hell. It's probably a feature.

If you think something could be done better or simply sucks, bring up a issue on the tracker. Don't be shy. I really love feedback and technical discussions.

Developing

Pull requests are welcome (and will make me cry in joy) as long as they pass tests for included and old features.

Did I already say that I love technical discussions? Feel free to open a issue on the tracker if you have any doubt.
