jslib.k6.io

jslib.k6.io, hosted utility libs for k6 scripts.

To make life a little easier during development, make sure to install the following:

• node >= 11.2.0
• yarn >= 1.13.0

How to add a new JS package

1. Create a new branch from the main branch.
2. Create a new lib dir /lib/{lib_name}
3. Create a new version dir /lib/{lib_name}/{desired_version}/
4. Add an entry file /lib/{lib_name}/{desired_version}/index.js
5. Add the lib to supported.json (see example below):

{
  "{lib_name}": {
    // Available package versions
    "versions": [
      "{desired_version}"
    ],

    // (optional) Documentation's or repository's URL
    "docs-url": "{documentation_or_repository_url}",

    // (optional) As a default, the homepage will point to
    // a package's bundle's index.js. If your package's main
    // bundle name is different; set it here (see the AWS
    // package for instance).
    "bundle-filename": "{index.js}"
  }
}

// Example result
{
  "awesome-lib": {
    "versions": [
      "2.0.3",
      "2.1.2"
    ],
    "docs-url": "https://github.com/example/jslib",
    "bundle-filename": "main.js"
  }
}

6. Add test cases in /tests/basic.js and /tests/testSuite.js to ensure that the added lib is importable and runnable by k6.
7. Update the homepage by running yarn run generate-homepage.
8. Verify that the new homepage /lib/index.html is legit (Quickly done by running yarn run verify-homepage).
9. Create a PR.
10. Get a review from maintainers of the repository.
11. Merge it to main (This will push the updates to S3).
12. Browse to https://jslib.k6.io/{lib_name}/{desired_version}/index.js and verify that everything works as expected.

Add a JS package that requires bundling

Running yarn run bundle $pkgName@pkgVersion will try to run webpack bundling on the file located at /lib/$pkgName/$pkgBundle/index.src.js.
If all goes well, you'll get a bundle file index.js alongside the "src file". If there is already a file named index.js at the given path, you will be asked to override or exit.

When running this command, there will also be an option to run babel transpile on the bundle.

# Example

yarn run bundle url@1.0.0

How to add a new version of an existing package

1. Create a new branch from the main branch.
2. Create a new "version dir" in /lib/{lib_name}/{desired_version}/
3. Add entry file for version /lib/{lib_name}/{desired_version}/index.js
4. Add the version to supported.json like:

{
  "my-lib": [
    "1.0.2",
    // Use semantic versioning
    "{desired_version}"
  ]
}

// Example result
{
  "my-lib": [
    "1.0.2",
    "2.0.3"
  ]
}

5. Add test cases in /tests/basic.js to ensure that the ported lib is importable and runnable by k6.
6. Update the homepage by running yarn run generate-homepage.
7. Verify that the new homepage /lib/index.html is legit (Quickly done by running yarn run verify-homepage).
8. Create a PR, and go ahead and merge it. Version updates do not require to be reviewed.
9. Get it merged to the main branch (This will push the updates to S3).
10. Browse to https://jslib.k6.io/{lib_name}/{desired_version}/index.js to verify that everything works as expected.

Updating styling and layout of the "Homepage."

The homepage of https://jslib.k6.io live in the /static dir.
The final index.html page gets generated by running yarn run generate-homepage.

Useful dev commands:

# Listen to file changes, restart dev server and serve index.html
yarn run develop-homepage

# Quickly serve index.html
yarn run verify-homepage

# Generate index.html
yarn run generate-homepage

Installing new package via npm and automagically adding it to libs

The outcome of this might vary depending on the quality of the desired node_module you want to add.

The following command will try to:

1. Install the desired {package_name}
2. Copy the module to /lib
3. Update the homepage /lib/index.html

yarn run add-pkg {package_name}

Once run successfully, make sure that you do the following:

• Add test case in /tests/basic.js to ensure that the ported lib is importable and runnable by k6.
• Verify that the new homepage /lib/index.html is legit.

Updating a version of a JS package listed in package.json dependencies

Some of the JS packages in /lib/ can be libraries that exist on NPM today. The following steps will help you add a specific (or latest) version of an existing npm package:

1. yarn upgrade {my_package}@version (for specific version) yarn upgrade {my_package} --latest (for the latest).
2. yarn run copy-libs

If all went well, the following should have happened:

• New version dir and entry file created /lib/{my_package}/{new_version}/index.js.
• New version entry added to support.json (see example below)

{
  "my_package": [
    "1.0.2", // Previous version
    "2.0.0" // New version added by copy-libs command.
  ]
}

If not, you will have to manually create the new version as described here.

Once a new version dir has been created and added to supported.json, it is time to:

3. Add a test case in /tests/basic.js to ensure that the added version is importable and runnable by k6.
4. Update the homepage by running yarn run generate-homepage.
5. Verify that the new homepage /lib/index.html is legit (Quickly done by running yarn run verify-homepage).
6. Create a PR and get it approved.
7. Merge main (This will push the updates to S3).
8. Browse to https://jslib.k6.io/{lib_name}/{desired_version}/index.js
