Clear npm:

remove 'ember-data-factory-guy' from package.json
npm prune

then:

Follow "Never used ember-data-factory-guy before" instructions
Move existing factories to tests/factories directory

How this works

You create factories for you models.
- put them in tests/factories directory
Then you use them to create models in your tests.

Setup

In the following examples, assume the models look like this:

  // standard models
  User = DS.Model.extend({
    name:     DS.attr('string'),
    style:    DS.attr('string'),
    projects: DS.hasMany('project'),
    hats: DS.hasMany('hat', {polymorphic: true})
  });

  Project = DS.Model.extend({
    title:  DS.attr('string'),
    user:   DS.belongsTo('user')
  });

  // polymorphic models
  Hat = DS.Model.extend({
    type: DS.attr('string'),
    user: DS.belongsTo('user')
  });

  BigHat = Hat.extend();
  SmallHat = Hat.extend();

Defining Factories

A factory has a name and a set of attributes.
The name should match the model type name. So, for 'User' model, the name would be 'user'
Create factory files in the tests/factories directory.
Can use generator to create the outline of a factory file: ember g factory user This will create a file named user.js in the tests/factories directory.

Standard models

Sample full blown factory: (user.js)

  // file tests/factories/user.js
  import FactoryGuy from 'ember-data-factory-guy';

  FactoryGuy.define('user', {
    // Put default 'user' attributes in the default section
    default: {
      style: 'normal',
      name: 'Dude'
    },
    // Create a named 'user' with custom attributes
    admin: {
      style: 'super',
      name: 'Admin'
    }
  });

Polymorphic models

Define each polymorphic model in it's own typed definition
May want to extend parent factory here
- See Extending Other Definitions

  // file tests/factories/small-hat.js
  import FactoryGuy from 'ember-data-factory-guy';

  FactoryGuy.define('small-hat', {
    default: {
      type: 'SmallHat'
    }
  })

  // file tests/factories/big-hat.js
  import FactoryGuy from 'ember-data-factory-guy';

  FactoryGuy.define('big-hat', {
    default: {
      type: 'BigHat'
    }
  })

In other words, don't do this:

  // file tests/factories/hat.js
  import FactoryGuy from 'ember-data-factory-guy';

  FactoryGuy.define('hat', {
    default: {},
    small-hat: {
      type: 'SmallHat'
    },
    big-hat: {
      type: 'BigHat'
    }
  })

Using Factories

FactoryGuy.make
- Loads model instance into the store
FactoryGuy.build
- Builds json in accordance with the adapters specifications
  - RESTAdapter (assume this adapter being used in most of the following examples)
  - ActiveModelAdapter
  - JSONAPIAdapter
Can override default attributes by passing in a hash
Can add attributes with traits ( see traits section )

  import FactoryGuy, { make, build } from 'ember-data-factory-guy';

  // returns json
  var json = FactoryGuy.build('user');
  json.user // => {id: 1, name: 'Dude', style: 'normal'}

  // returns a User instance that is loaded into your application's store
  var user = FactoryGuy.make('user');
  user.toJSON({includeId: true}) // => {id: 2, name: 'Dude', style: 'normal'}

  var json = build('admin');
  json.user // => {id: 3, name: 'Admin', style: 'super'}

  var user = make('admin');
  user.toJSON({includeId: true}) // => {id: 4, name: 'Admin', style: 'super'}

You can override the default attributes by passing in a hash

  var json = build('user', {name: 'Fred'});
  // json.user.name => 'Fred'

Build vs. Make

Most of the time you will make models with FactoryGuy.make, which creates models ( and/or their relationships ) in the store.
But you can also take the json from FactoryGuy.build and put it into the store yourself with the store's pushPayload method, since the json will have the primary model's data and all sideloaded relationships properly prepared.

Example:

_{Although the RESTAdapter is being used, this works the same with ActiveModel or JSONAPI adapters}

  var json = FactoryGuy.build('user', 'with_company', 'with_hats');
  json // =>
    {
      user: {
        id: 1,
        name: 'User1',
        company: 1,
        hats: [
          {type: 'big_hat', id:1},
          {type: 'big_hat', id:2}
        ]
      },
      companies: [
        {id: 1, name: 'Silly corp'}
      ],
      'big-hats': [
        {id: 1, type: "BigHat" },
        {id: 2, type: "BigHat" }
      ]
    }

  var store = FactoryGuy.get('store');

  store.pushPayload(json);

  var user = store.peekRecord('user', 1);
  user.get('name') // => 'User1'
  user.get('company.name') // => Silly Corp
  user.get('hats.length') // => 2

Custom API formats

FactoryGuy handles JSON-API and RESTSerializer out of the box. In case your API doesn't follow either of these conventions, you can still build a custom formatter.

Currently, a custom formatter must implement the following interface:

extractId(modelName, payload): Tells FactoryGuy where to find the ID of your payload
convertForBuild(modelName, payload): Transforms a fixture into a JSON payload compatible with your API

// tests/acceptance/my_test.js

import Ember from 'ember';
import FactoryGuy from 'ember-data-factory-guy/factory-guy';

const builderClass = Ember.Object.extend({
  extractId(modelName, payload) {
    return payload.id;
  },
  convertForBuild(/* type, payload */) {
    return { convert: 'build' };
  }
});

FactoryGuy.set('fixtureBuilder', builderClass.create());

Sequences

For generating unique attribute values.
Can be defined:
- In the model definition's sequences hash
- Inline on the attribute
Values are generated by calling FactoryGuy.generate

Declaring sequences in sequences hash

  FactoryGuy.define('user', {
    sequences: {
      userName: function(num) {
        return 'User' + num;
      }
    },

    default: {
      // use the 'userName' sequence for this attribute
      name: FactoryGuy.generate('userName')
    }
  });

  var json = FactoryGuy.build('user');
  json.user.name // => 'User1'

  var user = FactoryGuy.make('user');
  user.get('name') // => 'User2'

Declaring an inline sequence on attribute

  FactoryGuy.define('project', {
    special_project: {
      title: FactoryGuy.generate(function(num) { return 'Project #' + num})
    },
  });

  var json = FactoryGuy.build('special_project');
  json.project.title // => 'Project #1'

  var project = FactoryGuy.make('special_project');
  project.get('title') // => 'Project #2'

Inline Functions

Declare a function for an attribute
- Can reference other attributes

  FactoryGuy.define('user', {
    // Assume that this definition includes the same sequences and default section
    // from the user definition in: "Declaring sequences in sequences hash" section.

    funny_user: {
      style: function(f) { return 'funny '  + f.name }
    }
  });

  var json = FactoryGuy.build('funny_user');
  json.user.name // => 'User1'
  json.user.style // => 'funny User1'

  var user = FactoryGuy.make('funny_user');
  user.get('name') // => 'User2'
  user.get('style') // => 'funny User2'

Note the style attribute was built from a function which depends on the name and the name is a generated attribute from a sequence function

Traits

For grouping attributes together
Can use one or more traits in a row
The last trait included overrides any values in traits before it

  FactoryGuy.define('user', {
    traits: {
      big: { name: 'Big Guy' }
      friendly: { style: 'Friendly' }
    }
  });

  var json = FactoryGuy.build('user', 'big', 'friendly');
  json.user.name // => 'Big Guy'
  json.user.style // => 'Friendly'

  var user = FactoryGuy.make('user', 'big', 'friendly');
  user.get('name') // => 'Big Guy'
  user.get('style') // => 'Friendly'

You can still pass in a hash of options when using traits. This hash of attributes will override any trait attributes or default attributes

  var user = FactoryGuy.make('user', 'big', 'friendly', {name: 'Dave'});
  user.get('name') // => 'Dave'
  user.get('style') // => 'Friendly'

Associations

Can setup belongsTo or hasMany associations in factory definitions
- As inline attribute definition
- With traits
Can setup belongsTo or hasMany associations manually
The inverse association is being set up for you

Setup belongsTo associations in Factory Definition

  // Recall ( from above setup ) that there is a user belongsTo on the Project model
  // Also, assume 'user' factory is same as from 'user' factory definition above in
  // 'Defining Factories' section
  FactoryGuy.define('project', {

    project_with_user: {
      // create user model with default attributes
      user: {}
    },
    project_with_bob: {
      // create user model with custom attributes
      user: {name: 'Bob'}
    },
    project_with_admin: {
      // create a named user model with the FactoryGuy.belongsTo helper method
      user: FactoryGuy.belongsTo('admin')
    }
  });

  var project = FactoryGuy.make('project_with_admin');
  project.get('user.name') // => 'Admin'
  project.get('user.style') // => 'super'

You could also accomplish the above with traits:

  FactoryGuy.define('project', {
    traits: {
      with_user: { user: {} },
      with_admin: { user: FactoryGuy.belongsTo('admin') }
    }
  });

  var user = FactoryGuy.make('project', 'with_user');
  project.get('user').toJSON({includeId: true}) // => {id:1, name: 'Dude', style: 'normal'}

Setup belongsTo associations manually

  var user = FactoryGuy.make('user');
  var project = FactoryGuy.make('project', {user: user});

  project.get('user').toJSON({includeId: true}) // => {id:1, name: 'Dude', style: 'normal'}

Note that though you are setting the 'user' belongsTo association on a project, the reverse user hasMany 'projects' association is being setup for you on the user ( for both manual and factory defined belongsTo associations ) as well

  user.get('projects.length') // => 1

Setup hasMany associations in Factory Definition

  FactoryGuy.define('user', {
    user_with_projects: { projects: FactoryGuy.hasMany('project', 2) }
  });

  var user = FactoryGuy.make('user_with_projects');
  user.get('projects.length') // => 2

You could also accomplish the above with traits:

  FactoryGuy.define('project', {
    traits: {
      with_projects: {
        projects: FactoryGuy.hasMany('project', 2)
      }
    }
  });

  var user = FactoryGuy.make('user', 'with_projects');
  user.get('projects.length') // => 2

Setup hasMany associations manually

  var project1 = FactoryGuy.make('project');
  var project2 = FactoryGuy.make('project');
  var user = FactoryGuy.make('user', {projects: [project1,project2]});
  user.get('projects.length') // => 2

  // or
  var projects = FactoryGuy.makeList('project', 2);
  var user = FactoryGuy.make('user', {projects: projects});
  user.get('projects.length') // => 2

Note that though you are setting the 'projects' hasMany association on a user, the reverse 'user' belongsTo association is being setup for you on the project ( for both manual and factory defined hasMany associations ) as well

  projects.get('firstObject.user')  // => user

Building many models at once

FactoryGuy.makeList
- Loads one or more instances into store
FactoryGuy.buildList
- Builds an array of one or more json objects

Building json array

  var json = FactoryGuy.buildList('user', 2)
  json.users.length // => 2
  json.users[0] // => {id: 1, name: 'User1', style: 'normal'}
  json.users[1] // => {id: 2, name: 'User2', style: 'normal'}

Building model instances

  var users = FactoryGuy.makeList('user', 2)
  users.get('length') // => 2
  users[0].toJSON({includeId: true}) // => {id: 3, name: 'User3', style: 'normal'}
  users[1].toJSON({includeId: true}) // => {id: 4, name: 'User4', style: 'normal'}

Extending Other Definitions

Extending another definition will inherit these sections:
- sequences
- traits
- default attributes
Inheritance is fine grained, so in each section, any attribute that is local will take precedence over an inherited one. So you can override some attributes in the default section ( for example ), and inherit the rest
Sample Factory using inheritance (big-group.js):

Callbacks

afterMake
Uses transient attributes

Assuming the factory-guy model definition defines afterMake function:

  FactoryGuy.define('property', {
    default: {
      name: 'Silly property'
    },

    // optionally set transient attributes, that will be passed in to afterMake function
    transient: {
      for_sale: true
    },

    // The attributes passed to after make will include any optional attributes you
    // passed in to make, and the transient attributes defined in this definition
    afterMake: function(model, attributes) {
      if (attributes.for_sale) {
        model.set('name', model.get('name') + '(FOR SALE)');
      }
    }
  }

You would use this to make models like:

  Ember.run(function () {

    var property = FactoryGuy.make('property');
    property.get('name'); // => 'Silly property(FOR SALE)')

    var property = FactoryGuy.make('property', {for_sale: false});
    property.get('name'); // => 'Silly property')
  });

Testing - Creating Scenarios

Easy to create complex scenarios involving multi layered relationships.
- Can use model instances to create relationships for making other models.

Example:

Setup a scenario where a user has two projects and belongs to a company

   var company = make('company');
   var user = make('user', {company: company});
   var projects = makeList('project', 2, {user: user});

You can use traits to help create the relationships as well, but this strategy allows you to build up complex scenarios in a different way that has it's own benefits.

Testing models, controllers, components

Testing the models, controllers and components
- FactoryGuy needs the application to startup in order to load the factories, and setup the store.
- That is why all the tests import startApp function from 'tests/helpers/start-app.js' ( a file provided to you by ember cli )
Sample model test (profile-test.js):
- Avoid using moduleForModel ( ember-qunit ), or describeModel ( ember-mocha ) test helper.
- Might be able to get away with model tests that don't need to startApp() as in this test: user-test.js
Sample component test (dude-translator-test.js):
- Using 'moduleForComponent' because it is easier in this case to get the component and render it with this helper
- Need to start a new application with startApp() before each test.

Note

In the following model test, it's not necessary or helpful to use the ember-qunit moduleForModel helper, since the premise for that helper is to setup an isolated container with the minimal requirements ( that model ) loaded. So, if you have many relationships, it's tedious to "needs: []" them all, to get them imported. Furthermore you don't want a model handed to you, you want to make your own, which is the whole point of factory guy.

// file: tests/unit/models/profile-test.js

import Ember from 'ember';
import { make } from 'ember-data-factory-guy';
import startApp from '../../helpers/start-app';

var App = null;

module('Profile Model', {
  beforeEach: function() {
    App = startApp();
  },
  afterEach: function() {
    Ember.run(App, 'destroy');
  }
});

test('has company', function() {
  var profile = make('profile', 'with_company');
  ok(profile.get('company.profile') === profile);
});

Integration/Acceptance Tests

With FactoryGuyTestHelper

Uses mockjax
Has helper methods
Can override FactoryGuyTestHelper by 'reopening' it ( if you need custom functionality.)

If you put models into the store ( with FactoryGuy#make ), the http GET call does not need to be mocked, since that model is already in the store.

But what if you want to handle create, update, and delete? Or even reload or findAll records?

FactoryGuy assumes you want to stub ajax calls with the mockjax library, and this javascript library is already bundled for you when you install ember-data-factory-guy.

handleFind

For dealing with finding one record of a particular type
Can pass in arguments just like you would for make or build

If when visiting a route, some part of your application ( like router, or controller action ) is going to make a call to the store to find a records of a particular type:

  store.find('user', userId) // fires ajax request for user with id userId

An acceptance test ( to stub that ajax call and return factory guy data ) will look like this:

  // can use traits and extra fixture options here as you would with FactoryGuy#make
  var userId = TestHelper.handleFind('user');
  visit('/users/'+userId);

  andThen(function () {
    var user = find('li.user');
    ok(user.length === 1);
  });

Note that you could also have done this:

  // can just make the model before you visit route
  var user = make('user');
  visit('/users/'+user.id);

  andThen(function () {
    var user = find('li.user');
    ok(user.length === 1);
  });

handleFindAll

For dealing with finding all records of a particular type
Sample acceptance tests using handleFindAll: (users-view-test.js) (users-delete-test.js)

Usage:

  // The mock API can return several different models
  TestHelper.handleFindAll('user', {name: 'Bob'}, ['admin', {name: 'Jane'}]); // findAll('user') will return a user named Bob and an admin user named Jane

  // Or it can return multiple of the same model (other than ids and sequences)
  TestHelper.handleFindAll('user', 2);
  TestHelper.handleFindAll('user', 2, 'admin'); // You can specify traits
  TestHelper.handleFindAll('user', 2, {name: 'Bob'}); // Or attributes
  TestHelper.handleFindAll('user', 2, 'admin', {name: 'Bob'}); // Or both

If when visiting a route, some part of your application ( like router, or controller action ) is going to make a call to the store for all records of a particular type:

  store.findAll('user') // fires ajax request for all user records

An acceptance test ( to stub that ajax call and return factory guy data ) will look like this:

  // can use traits and extra fixture options here as you would with FactoryGuy#makeList
  TestHelper.handleFindAll('user', 2);

  visit('/users');

  andThen(function () {
    var users = find('li.user');
    ok(users.length === 2);
  });

Note that you could also have done this:

  // can just make the models before you visit route
  var users = makeList('user', 2);
  visit('/users');

  andThen(function () {
    var users = find('li.user');
    ok(users.length === 2);
  });

If you would like to interact with the records created by handleFindAll (for example to update, delete, or find in the store) you must wait on the request for those records to resolve before they will be loaded in the store:

  TestHelper.handleFindAll('user', 2);

  visit('/users');

  andThen(function() {
    //handleDelete call must be after the model hook for the ('/users') route resolves
    TestHelper.handleDelete('user', '1');
    click("li.user:first button:contains('Delete')");
  });
  andThen(function(){
    var users = find('li.user');
    ok(users.length === 1);
  });

handleReload

To handle reloading a model
- Pass in a record ( or a typeName and id )
- Use andFail to mock failure

Passing in a record / model instance

    var profile = FactoryGuy.make('profile')
    // Using handleFind
    TestHelper.handleReload(profile);

    // will stub a call to reload that profile
    profile.reload()

Mocking a failed reload

    TestHelper.handleReload('profile', 1).andFail();

handleQuery

For dealing with finding all records for a type of model with query parameters.
Takes modifier methods for controlling the response - withParams - returnsModels - returnsJSON - returnsExistingIds
Can reuse the same handler again to simulate same query with different results

Using plain handleQuery returns no results

  // This simulates a query that returns no results
  TestHelper.handleQuery('user', {age: 10});

  store.query('user', {age: 10}}).then(function(userInstances){
     /// userInstances will be empty
  })

Use returnsModles by passing in array of model instances

  // Create model instances
  var users = FactoryGuy.makeList('user', 2, 'with_hats');

  // Pass in the array of model instances as last argument
  TestHelper.handleQuery('user', {name:'Bob', age: 10}).returnsModels(users);

  // will stub a call to the store like this:
  store.query('user', {name:'Bob', age: 10}}).then(function(models) {
     // models are the same as the users array
  });

Use returnsJSON by passing in json

  // Create json with buildList
  var usersJSON = FactoryGuy.buildList('user', 2, 'with_hats');

  // use returnsJSON to pass in this response
  TestHelper.handleQuery('user', {name:'Bob', age: 10}).returnsJSON(usersJSON);

  store.query('user', {name:'Bob', age: 10}}).then(function(models) {
     // these models were created from the usersJSON
  });

Use returnsExistingIds by passing in array of ids of existing models

  // Create list of models
  var users = FactoryGuy.makeList('user', 2, 'with_hats');
  var user1 = users.get('firstObject');

  // use returnsExistingIds to pass in the users ids you want
  // in this case let's say you only want to pass back the first user
  TestHelper.handleQuery('user', {name:'Bob', age: 10}).returnsExistingIds([user1.id]);

  store.query('user', {name:'Bob', age: 10}}).then(function(models) {
     // models will be one model and it will be user1
  });

Reuse the handler to simulate the same query with different results

  var store = FactoryGuy.get('store');

  var bobQueryHander = TestHelper.handleQuery('user', {name: 'Bob'});

  store.query('user', {name: 'Bob'}).then(function (users) {
    //=> users.get('length') === 0;

    var bob = store.make('user', {name: 'Bob'});

    // reuse the same query handler since it's the same query
    bobQueryHander.returnsModels([bob]);

    store.query('user', {name: 'Bob'}).then(function (users) {
      //=> users.get('length') === 1;
      //=> users.get('firstObject') === bob;
    });
  });

Reuse the handler to simulate different query params that returns different results

  var store = FactoryGuy.get('store');
  var bob = store.make('user', {name: 'Bob'});
  var dude = store.make('user', {name: 'Dude'});

  var userQueryHander = TestHelper.handleQuery('user', {name: 'Bob'}).returnsModels([bob]);

  store.query('user', {name: 'Bob'}).then(function (users) {
    //=> users.get('length') === 1;

    // reuse the same user query handler but change the expected query parms
    userQueryHander.withParams({name: 'Dude'}).returnsModels([dude]);

    store.query('user', {name: 'Dude'}).then(function (users) {
      //=> users.get('length') === 1;
      //=> users.get('firstObject') === dude;
    });
  });

handleCreate

Use chainable methods to build the response
- match
  - Attributes that must be in request json
- andReturns
  - Attributes to include in response json
- andFail
  - Request will fail
  - Takes a hash of options:
    - status - HTTP status code, defaults to 500.
    - response - error response message, or an errors hash for 422 status
Need to wrap tests using handleCreate with: Ember.run.function() { 'your test' })

Note

Any attributes in match will be added to the response json automatically, so you don't need to include them in the returns hash as well.

If you match on a belongsTo association, you don't have to include that in the returns hash.

Realistically, you will have code in a view action or controller action that will create the record, and setup any associations.

  // most actions that create a record look something like this:
  action: {
    addProject: function (user) {
      var name = this.$('button.project-name').val();
      var store = this.get('controller.store');
      store.createRecord('project', {name: name, user: user}).save();
    }
  }

In this case, you are are creating a 'project' record with a specific name, and belonging to a particular user. To mock this createRecord call here are a few ways to do this using chainable methods.

Using chainable methods

  // Simplest case
  // Don't care about a match just handle createRecord for any project
  TestHelper.handleCreate('project');

  // Matching some attributes
  TestHelper.handleCreate('project').match({name: "Moo"});

  // Match all attributes
  TestHelper.handleCreate('project').match({name: "Moo", user: user});

  // Exactly matching attributes, and returning extra attributes
  TestHelper.handleCreate('project')
    .match({name: "Moo", user: user})
    .andReturn({created_at: new Date()});

mocking a failed create

  // Mocking failure case is easy with chainable methods, just use #andFail
  TestHelper.handleCreate('project').match({name: "Moo"}).andFail();

  // Can optionally add a status code and/or errors to the response
  TestHelper.handleCreate('project').andFail({status: 422, response: {errors: {name: ['Moo bad, Bahh better']}}});

  store.createRecord('project', {name: "Moo"}).save(); //=> fails

handleUpdate

handleUpdate(model)
- Single argument ( the model instance that will be updated )
handleUpdate(modelType, id)
- Two arguments: modelType ( like 'profile' ) , and the profile id that will updated
Use chainable methods to help build response:
- andFail
  - Request will fail
  - Optional arguments ( status and response text )
- andSucceed
  - Update should succeed, this is the default behavior
  - Can even use this after an andFail call to simulate failure with invalid properties and then success after valid ones.
Need to wrap tests using handleUpdate with: Ember.run.function() { 'your test' })

success case is the default

  var profile = FactoryGuy.make('profile');

  // Pass in the model that will be updated ( if you have it available )
  TestHelper.handleUpdate(profile);

  // If the model is not available, pass in the modelType and the id of
  // the model that will be updated
  TestHelper.handleUpdate('profile', 1);

  profile.set('description', 'good value');
  profile.save() //=> will succeed

mocking a failed update

  var profile = FactoryGuy.make('profile');

  // set the succeed flag to 'false'
  TestHelper.handleUpdate('profile', profile.id).andFail({status: 422, response: 'Invalid data'});
  // or
  TestHelper.handleUpdate(profile).andFail({status: 422, response: 'Invalid data'});

  profile.set('description', 'bad value');
  profile.save() //=> will fail

mocking a failed update and retry with succees

  var profile = FactoryGuy.make('profile');

  // set the succeed flag to 'false'
  var mockUpdate = TestHelper.handleUpdate('profile', profile.id);
  // or
  var mockUpdate = TestHelper.handleUpdate(profile);

  mockUpdate.andFail({status: 422, response: 'Invalid data'});

  profile.set('description', 'bad value');
  profile.save() //=> will fail

  // After setting valid value
  profile.set('description', 'good value');

  // Now expecting success
  mockUpdate.andSucceed();

  // Try that update again
  profile.save() //=> will succeed!

handleDelete

Need to wrap tests using handleDelete with: Ember.run.function() { 'your test' })
