json-from-schema v1.11.0

json-from-schema

json-from-schema generates random JSON based on JSON Schema draft v4 schemas.

Usage

var jfs = require('json-from-schema');
var schema1 = {
  id: 'http://www.example.com/herp#'
  , type: "object"
  , properties: {
    someString: {type: 'string', pattern: 'bl(a){1,10}h'}
    , someInt: {type: 'integer', minimum: 23, maximum: 42}
    , someEnum: {$ref: '#/definitions/blaEnum'}
    , someEnumArray: {type: 'array', items: {$ref: '#/definitions/blaEnum'}, minItems: 5, maxItems: 8}
    , someObject: {
      type: 'object'
      , properties: {
        derp: {type: 'string', minLength:1, maxLength:5}
        , herp: {type: 'string', minLength:5, maxLength:10}
      }

      , patternProperties: {
        'pat-\\d+': {type: 'string', pattern: 'patStr-\\w{1,20}'}
      }

      , additionalProperties: true
      , required: ['derp']
    }
  }

  , additionalProperties: false
  , required: ['someString', 'someObject']
  , definitions: {
    blaEnum: {enum: ['bla', 'dohoi', 666]}
  }
};

var schema2 = {
  id: 'http://www.example.com/derp#'
  , type: "object"
  , properties: {
    herps: {type: "array", items: {$ref: 'http://www.example.com/herp'}}
  }
};

var gen = new jfs.JsonFromSchema([schema1, schema2])
var sampleDerp = gen.generate('http://www.example.com/derp'); // note: no hash at the end

var sampleHerp = gen.generate('http://www.example.com/herp');

generate() options

generate() takes an options object as its second parameter. The following options are supported:

• minCharCode and maxCharCode (integers): random strings are generated so that the character codes are between these two values
• charSet (array): generate random strings using this character set. Each element of the array should be a single character
• minRandomKeys and maxRandomKeys (integers): the minimum and maximum number of randomly generated keys an object can have when additionalProperties is true
• minPatternProperties and maxPatternProperties (integers): minimum and maximum number of pattern properties to randomly generate
• overrideMinItems and overrideMaxItems (integers): override array minItems and maxItems for all arrays when generating array contents. Useful for generating a certain minimum amount of test data, for example
• requireAll (boolean): behave like all properties of an object were required
• additionalProperties (boolean): overrides any/all additionalProperties keywords across the entire schema
• useZulu (boolean): always use the Z "time zone" (e.g. 1965-12-13T11:34:13.713Z) when generating strings using the date-time format
