node-mongodb-fixtures forked from latest version by YuriSapiens

   

Setup and tear down test fixtures with MongoDB.

Use custom scripts to create indexes and more!


 

Install

``shell
npm install @yurisapiens/node-mongodb-fixtures
`

$3

For CLI use, it can be useful to install globally:

`shell
npm install @yurisapiens/node-mongodb-fixtures -g
`

Usage

$3

`javascript
const Fixtures = require('node-mongodb-fixtures');
const fixtures = new Fixtures();

fixtures
.connect('mongodb://localhost:27017/mydb')
.then(() => fixtures.unload())
.then(() => fixtures.load())
.then(() => fixtures.disconnect());
`

See detailed programmatic usage below

$3

`shell
❯ mongodb-fixtures load -u mongodb://localhost:27017/mydb
`

See detailed cli usage below

---

Try the Example

The following example will load the example fixtures into a locally running MongoDB. To use another DB modify the the connection url accordingly (in step 2)

$3

1. Clone the repo

`shell
git clone https://github.com/cdimascio/node-mongodb-fixtures && cd node-mongodb-fixtures && npm install
`

2. Load the fixtures into MongoDb

`shell
node bin/mongodb-fixtures load -u mongodb://localhost:27017/mydb --path ./examples/fixtures
`

Create fixtures

#### How

1. Choose a directory for your fixtures e.g. ./fixtures
2. Create any mix of JSON (.json), JavaScript (.js) files. (see file rules below)
3. Each filename defines a MongoDB collection

JSON Files

The name of the JSON file is/will be the collection name. Each JSON file _must_ contain a 'JSON Array of JSON objects'. Each JSON object is loaded as a document in the collection.

JSON files are useful when you can represent all of your documents as JSON.

`json
[
{ "name": "Paul", "age": 36 },
{ "name": "Phoebe", "age": 26 }
]
`

JavaScript Files

The name of the JSON file is/will be the collection name. Each .js file must return a 'JSON Array of JSON objects'. Each JSON object is loaded as a document in the collection.

JavaScript files are useful when you require code to represent your documents.

`javascript
const { ObjectID: ObjectId } = require('mongodb');

module.exports = [
{ _id: ObjectId(), name: 'Paul', 'age': 36 },
{ _id: ObjectId(), name: 'Phoebe', 'age': 26 },
];
`

#### Example Structure

`
fixtures/
|-- people.js
|-- places.json
`

See ./examples/fixtures

Collection Scripts: Indexes and more...

"Collection scripts" enable you to inject your own custom logic in the fixture creation lifecycle. Each custom script is passed a reference to a MongoDB collection. You may use this reference to modify the collection however you like. For example, you can add indexes and more.

$3

1. Create a new JavaScript file with an underscore _ suffix. e.g. people_.js.
2. The _ denotes a script. The text preceding it, people, is the collection name.
3. Each script is passed a single argument, the collection.
4. Each must return a function that takes a collection and returns a Promise.

#### Example

`javascript
// people_.js
module.exports = function(collection) {
// Write your custom logic and return a promise
return collection.createIndex( { "address.city": 1 }, { unique: false } );
}
`

`
fixtures/
|-- people_.js
|-- people.js
|-- places.json
`

Note: Custom scripts run after all fixtures have completed.

Programmatic Usage

$3

use the default fixtures directory,./fixtures

`javascript
const Fixtures = require('node-mongodb-fixtures');
const fixtures = new Fixtures();
`

or specifiy the fixtures directory

`javascript
const Fixtures = require('node-mongodb-fixtures');
const fixtures = new Fixtures({
dir: 'examples/fixtures',
mute: false, // do not mute the log output
});
`

or filter the fixtures present in the directory with a Regex pattern

`javascript
const Fixtures = require('node-mongodb-fixtures');
const fixtures = new Fixtures({
dir: 'examples/fixtures',
filter: 'people.*',
});
`

$3

Use the standard MongoDB URI connection scheme

`javascript
fixtures.connect('mongodb://localhost:27017/mydb'); // returns a promise
`

connect(uri, options, dbName)

| arg | type | description |
| --------- | ----------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| uri | string (required) | MongoDB connection string |
| options | object (optional) | MongoDB connection options |
| dbName | string (optional) | identifies a database to switch to. Useful when the db in the connection string differs from the db you want to connect to |

See: ./examples/ex1.js

$3

`javascript
fixtures.load(); // returns a promise
`

$3

`javascript
fixtures.unload(); // returns a promise
`

$3

`javascript
fixtures.disconnect(); // returns a promise
`

Example

The following example does the following:

- connects to mongo
- then unloads all fixtures
- then loads all fixtures
- then disconnects

`javascript
const Fixtures = require('node-mongodb-fixtures');
const uri = 'mongodb://localhost/mydb';
const options = null;

const fixtures = new Fixtures({
dir: 'examples/fixtures',
filter: '.*',
});

fixtures
.connect('mongodb://localhost:27017/mydb')
.then(() => fixtures.unload())
.then(() => fixtures.load())
.catch(e => console.error(e))
.finally(() => fixtures.disconnect());
`

CLI Usage

`shell
❯ mongodb-fixtures

Usage: mongodb-fixtures [options] [command]


Options:

-V, --version output the version number
-u --url mongo connection string
-s --ssl use SSL
-d --db_name database name

-b --verbose verbose logs
-h, --help output usage information


Commands:

load
unload
rebuild
`

Example Output

`shell
[info ] Using fixtures directory: /Users/dimascio/git/node-mongodb-fixtures/examples/fixtures
[info ] Using database mydb
[info ] No filtering in use
[start] load people
