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 🙏

Readme

Test-Prepare is a MondoDB test preparer. Is designed to clean and import test fixtures before a test to simulate scenarios and go back to initial stage after test.

Installation

First install node.js and mongodb. Then

$ npm install test-prepare --save-dev

Setup

Import test-prepare in your test file.

var prepare = require('test-prepare')({
    mongo_host: 'http://localhost:27017',
    fixtures_path: '/path-to-fixtures',
    verbose: true
});

Supported setup options

  • mongo_host: Host address of MongoDB, required
  • mongo_user: User of MongoDB, not required
  • mongo_password: Password of MongoDB, not required
  • fixtures_path: Phisical path of fixtures folder, required. Ex: ${__dirname}/../fixtures
  • verbose: Enable verbose mode. This will log test prepare info and feedbacks about connection and fixtures imports. Default is false.

Create fixture file

Inside fixtures folder, create a fixture file that will be imported to the test database.

  • model: Name od MongoDB collection
  • fixtures: Array of data that will be imported

Example, people.json:

{
    "model": "People",
    "fixtures": [
        {
             "name": "Jhon",
             "age": 31
        },
        {
             "name": "Michael",
             "age": 25
        }
    ]
}

Prepare database before test

before(function (done) {
    prepare.start(['fixture_file_name_without_extension', 'other_fixture_file_name_without_extension', '...']).then(done);
});

So if you want to import your fixture file people.json:

before(function (done) {
    prepare.start(['people']).then(done);
});

And importing many fixtures:

before(function (done) {
    prepare.start(['people', 'cars', 'telephones']).then(done);
});

Dropping database after test

After test you can clean test data ro reset your test scenario. This uill drop test-prepare temporary database.

after(function (done) {
    prepare.end().then(done);
});

Change fixture data before import

If you want change fixture data before import to the database, you can use the middleware function.

prepare._importFixture('people', middleware, callback);

prepare._importFixture('people', function(data) {
    // change fixture data  through middleware then import to the database.
    data.fixtures[0].name = 'Jhon Doe';
    return data;
})
.then(() => {
    //.... here on callback, you make your test asserts ...
    var result = example_get_by_name('Jhon Doe');
    expect(result.length).to.be.equal(1);
    done();
});

Accessing fixture data

Whenever a fixture is imported, its data is accessible through the fixture_fixtureName property that is exposed in the test-prepare object.

beforeEach(function (done) {
    prepare.start(['people', 'cars']).then(done);
});

it('my test', function(done) {
    var people = prepare.fixture_people;
    var cars   = prepare.fixture_cars;
    done();
});
