@bradmerlin/nonsense v0.0.7

Nonsense generates structured random data.

A step toward simple fuzz testing. Use it for testing code that accepts uncontrollable input 🐊🐊🐊

Usage

import { Generators, Nonsense } from '@bradmerlin/nonsense';

// Define data structure.
let bankAccount = {
  accountNumber:  Generators.INT,
  beneficiaryIDs: Generators.INT(5),
  accountType:    Generators.CHOICE(['cheque', 'savings', 'credit']),
  user:           {
    fullName:        Generators.STRING,
    someStaticValue: Generators.VALUE('Do not change'),
  },
};

// Create generator
let generator = Nonsense(bankAccount);

// New random values each time the generator generates.
let output = [];
for (let i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
  output.push(generator());
  // But actually use this in a test.
}
