Object-crumble

Creative ways to cook your objects

The main motivation is to boost the writing of unit tests by simplifying the process of creating new data content. This is achieved by mutating programmatically existing data:

• Written in Typescript.

• Uses JSON-like object as an input.

• Can be used with any testing framework (Jest, ...)

• A simpler and experimental alternative to property testing. No need for a schema. You should still consider, property based testing framework likefast-check that can help find bugs in unexplored code paths.

Usage

Convert any object to an abstract representation of the object structure

abstractObject({name: "Jane", homepage: "http://mywebsite.com" })

will return:

[
  {
    path: "name",
    kind: "string",
  },
  {
    path: "homepage",
    kind: "url",
  },
];

Mutates an object applying a mutation.

const mutation = {
  path: "name",
  kind: "string",
  mutationName: "string => empty",
};

mutateObject(mutatorRules)(mutation)({
  name: "Picasso",
  firstName: "Pablo",
});

will return empty field for name:

{
name: '',
firstName: 'Pablo'
}
