@genially/mongoose-mimic v2.0.1

mongoose-mimic

mongoose-mimic is a simple (but powerful) Node.js library to generate test data for Mongoose using only the schema definition.

Features

• Generate random values depending on primitive data types (string, number, boolean, date...)
• Generate random values that meet constraints (uppercase, lowercase, max...)
• Generate custom values for specific fields
• Generate custom values that match non-primitive data types (email, phone, address...)
• Ignore fields
• Generate dates as object or string

Installation

npm install @genially/mongoose-mimic

Usage

mimic(model, opts)

Generates a mimetic document from model

• model: Mongoose schema object
• opts: Generation options, where the options are in the following format:

        {
          ignore: Array,
          applyFilter: Boolean,
          returnDate: Boolean,
          custom: {
             field: {
               value: Any,
               type: String
             }
          }
        }

Usage Example

const mongoose = require('mongoose');
const mimic = require('@genially/mongoose-mimic');
const ignoredFields = ['_id','created_at', '__v', /detail.*_info/];
const genderValues = ['Male', 'Female']
const schemaDefinition = new mongoose.Schema({
    name: {
        type: String,
        required: true,
        lowercase: true,
        trim: true
    },
    email: {
        type: String,
    },
    phones: {
        type: [String],
    }
    birth_date: {
        type: Date
    },
    gender: {
        type: String,
        enum: genderValues
    },
    data: {
        type: Object,
        default: null
    },
    results: [
        {
            score: Number,
            course: Number
        }
    ],
    is_student: {
        type: Boolean
    },
    parent: {
        type: mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId
    },
    detail: {
        main_info: String,
        some_info: String,
        none_match: String
    },
    created_at: {
        type: Date,
        default: Date.now
    }
});
const model = mongoose.model('Student', schemaDefinition);
const randomObject = mimic(model, {
    ignore: ignoredFields,
    returnDate: true,
    custom: {
      name: {
        value: 'Mimic',
      },
      email: {
        type: 'internet.email'
      },
      phones: {
        type: 'phone.phoneNumber'
      },
      birth_date: {
        value: () => new Date('December 25, 1995 23:15:30')
      }
    }
})
console.log(randomObject);

Testing

To run the test cases use npm test
