JCon — JavaScript Type Conformance Checking
JCON (the "JavaScript Conformance" gem), is a companion to JSON. It tests JSON values against ECMAScript 4.0-style type definitions (PDF), such as string?, (int, boolean), or [string, (int, boolean), {x:double, y:double}?].
JCON also defines an RSpec matcher, conforms_to_js.
Use JCON together with the JavaScript Fu Rails plugin to test the argument values in generated JavaScript function calls.
Install
gem install rcon
Usage
type = JCON::parse "[string, int]"
type.contains?(['a', 1]) # => true
type.contains?(['a', 'b']) # => false
type.contains?(['a', 1, 2]) # => true
type = JCON::parse "type S = (string, int); {a: [S], b: int}"
type.contains?({:a => [1, 'b'], :b => 2}) # => true
RSpec Matcher
[1, 'xyzzy'].should conform_to_js('[int, string]')
[1, 2, 'xyzzy'].should_not conform_to_js('[int, string]')
{:x => 1}.should conform_to_js('{x: int}')
Use this with the JavaScript Fu Rails plugin to test JSON arguments:
'<script>fn("id", {x:1, y:2}, true)</script>'.should call_js('fn') do |args|
args[0].should conform_to_js('string')
args[1].should conform_to_js('{x:int, y:int}')
args[2].should conform_to_js('boolean')
# or:
args.should conform_to_js('[string, {x:int, y:int}, boolean]')
