@genially/typeorm-mimic v1.0.0

typeorm-mimic

typeorm-mimic is a simple (but powerful) Node.js library to generate test data using only the TypeORM schema.

Features

• Generate random values depending on primitive data types (String, Number, Boolean, Date...)
• 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/typeorm-mimic

Usage

mimic(model, opts)

Generates a mimetic document from schemaDefinition

• schemaDefinition: TypeORM schema definition
• opts: Generation options, where the options are in the following format:

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

Usage Example

const { EntitySchema } = require('typeorm');
const mimic = require('@genially/typeorm-mimic');

const schemaDefinition = new EntitySchema({
  name: 'Test',
  columns: {
    name: {
      type: String,
      default: 'Mimic'
    },
    address: {
      type: String,
      nullable: true
    },
    email: {
      type: String
    },
    phones: {
      type: [String]
    },
    birth_date: {
      type: Date
    },
    role: {
      enum: [0, 1, 2]
    },
    is_student: {
      type: Boolean
    },
    created_at: {
      type: Date,
      default: Date.now
    }
  }
});

const randomObject = mimic(schemaDefinition, {
  ignore: ['address'],
  datesAsString: false,
  custom: {
    email: {
      type: 'internet.email'
    },
    phones: {
      type: 'phone.phoneNumber'
    },
    birth_date: {
      value: () => new Date('December 25, 1995 23:15:30')
    }
  }
});

console.log(randomObject);

/*
{
    name: "Mimic",
    email: 'Timmothy_Wuckert@gmail.com',
    birth_date: "1995-12-25T22:15:30.000Z",
    phones: [
      '(857) 375-1663',
      '(601) 926-2014',
      '(705) 324-8873 x9541',
      '(693) 690-3304 x99775',
      '1-088-666-8801 x6452',
