factory-lady.js
Factory-lady is a factory library for Node.js / JavaScript inspired by Factory_girl. It works asynchronously and supports lazy attributes as well as associations.
It works as long as new
keyword is used on the model to instantiate new objects and save
method is used to persist objects. For example, Mongoose models follow such convention.
Installation
Node.js:
npm install factory-lady
To use Factory-lady in the browser or other JavaScript environments, just copy and include factory-lady.js
under lib
directory.
Defining Factories
JavaScript:
var Factory = User = Post = ; var emailCounter = 1; Factory; Factory;
CoffeeScript:
Factory = require 'factory-lady'User = require '../../app/models/user'Post = require '../../app/models/post' emailCounter = 1 Factorydefine 'user'User : cb"user@example.com" # lazy attribute state : 'activated' password : '123456' Factorydefine 'post'Post user_id : Factoryassoc 'user''id' # simply Factory.assoc 'user' for user object itself title : 'Hello World' content : 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...'
Using Factories
JavaScript:
Factory; Factory; Factory; ;
CoffeeScript:
Factorybuild 'post' # post is a Post instance that is not saved Factorybuild 'post'title: 'Foo'content: 'Bar' # post is a Post instance that is not saved Factorycreate 'post' # post is a saved Post instance Factory 'post' # post is a saved Post instance # same as Factory.create
