connect-test-data-generator v0.1.0

Test / Demo Data Generation for Connect

Overview

Use an object as a template to generate batches of data with random values to push into Connect collection. Below describes how to use it in conjuction with the excellent Chance library.

Installation

npm install chance
npm install connect-test-data-generator

Example Usage

The example below generates random values for 1001 events. These events will have:

• A random string for 'name'.
• A random boolean for 'isPending'.
• A random string for 'type.description'.
• The number 3 for 'type.code'
• A random integer for 'status'.
• An array with exactly 3 random strings for 'tags'

"use strict"
let chance = require('chance')(),
    generator = require('connect-test-data-generator');

let randomString = () => chance.character({alpha: true});

let template = {
  name: randomString,
  isPending: () => chance.bool({likelihood: 30}),
  type: {
    description: randomString,
    code: 3
  },
  status: () => chance.integer(),
  tags: [randomString, randomString, randomString]
}

let options = {
      collectionName: 'my-test-collection',
      numbeOfEventsToPush: 1001,
      progress: (connectResult, batchNumber) => {
        console.log(`pushed batch ${batchNumber}`);
      },
      done: () => {
        console.log('All done');
      }
    };

let connectConfig = {
  projectId: 'YOUR_PROJECT_ID',
  apiKey: 'YOUR_PUSH_KEY',
};

generator.generateBatches(connectConfig, template, options);
