duckdoc-jsoner

Integrating duckdoc-jsoner within the testing process and prepares .json files of each endpoint based on tests of each endpoint. duckdoc then parses those files and renders to static document sites (i.e., .html).

Endpoint && Task

definition

• Endpoint: ONE url with ONE http method, ex. GET http://example.com/api/user
• Task: making ONE request to an Endpoint, containing the information of request and response.

example

let path = require('path');
let jsoner, { Task, Endpoint } = require('duckdoc-jsoner');
// let Endpoint = require('duckdoc-jsoner').Endpoint;
jsoner.outputPath = path.join(__dirname, './duckdoc/json');

let endpoint = new Endpoint("Get customer info.", "/customer");
// Endpiont.contructor(endpointName, pathParams)

let task = Task.createFromRequest(response, response.body);
endpoint.tasks.push(task);

jsoner.createEndpoint(endpoint);

task.options

let task = Task.createFromRequest(response, response.body);
task.options = {
  name: "Success({StatusCode})",
  description: "success situation",
  req: {
    body: {
      description: {
        email: "user email",
        "isAnArray.__first_item.name": "name description"
      },
      optionalParams: [
        "deviceUUID",  // optional parameter
        "isAnArray.__first_item.name"
      ],
    }
  },
  res: {
    body: {
        // same as req.body
    }
  }
};

properties

jsoner

• jsoner.outputPath: .json file output path
• jsoner.createEndpoint(endpoint): create .json of endpoint

Endpoint

• Endpoint.endpointName: name of the endpoint
• Endpoint.pathParms: path parameters, ex. /user/:id
• Endpoint.tasks: an Array of Task objects

Task

• Task.createFromRequest(response, body): return Task object generated from response of request
• Task.createFromAxios(response): return Task object generated from response of axios
• task.options
  • name: endpoint name with {StatusCode} keyword
  • description: endpoint description
  • (req/res).body:
    • description: Object, external description of each field
    • optionalParams: Array, specification optional fields

jsoner parses the first item of an array to get a sense of the data format. Use __first.item to indicate the items of array.

As the jsoner is designed to be integrated within the testing process, the concept is to load req/res from realistic http request. The manually added informations are specified in options.

deprecated usage

create with javscript object

var jsoner = require('duckdoc-jsoner');
let api = {
  "method": "GET",
  "url": "https://localhost:8000/register",
  "req": {
    "headers": {

options

// ...

let options = {

  pathParams: "/user/:id",
  req: {
    body: {
      description: {
        email: "user email",

      ]
    }
  },
  res: {
    body: {
      // same as req.body
    }
  }
};

jsoner.createFromAPI(api, options);

use __first.item to indicate the items of array.

As the jsoner is designed to be integrated within the testing process, the concept is to load api from realistic http request. The manually added informations are specified in options.

Using with request or request-promise

var jsoner = require('duckdoc-jsoner');
jsoner.ouputPath = "path/to/output/folder";

request(options, function (error, response, body) {
  let opt = {
    endpointName :'GET Test', 
    pathParams: '/test'
  };
  jsoner.createFromResponse(response, body, opt);
});

// options: resolveWithFullResponse: true
rq(options).then(function (response) {
  jsoner.createFromResponse(response, response.body);
});

properties

• jsoner.outputPath: .json file output path
• jsoner.createFromAPI(api, options)
• jsoner.createFromResponse(response, body, options)
