A nifty li'l plugin for setting up PostgreSQL database instances when testing

Installation

Note: this package works with TypeScript v5 or later

Deno

import { nestJsPlugin } from "https://deno.land/x/nifty_lil_tricks_testing/plugin_nestjs/mod.ts";

Node.js

npm install @nifty-lil-tricks/testing-plugin-nestjs

TypeScript

The TypeScript tsconfig.json must contain the following recommended settings:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "ES2022",
    "strict": true,
    "emitDecoratorMetadata": true,
    "experimentalDecorators": true
  }
}

Features

The following features are supported:

  • Setup a NestJS server for testing.
  • Override the NestJS server providers.
  • Override the NestJS server modules.

Quick start

Setup a NestJS server as follows:

// Copyright 2023-2023 the Nifty li'l' tricks authors. All rights reserved. MIT license.

import { assertEquals } from "https://deno.land/std/testing/asserts.ts";
import {
  afterEach,
  beforeEach,
  describe,
  it,
} from "https://deno.land/std/testing/bdd.ts";
import {
  setupTestsFactory,
  type SetupTestsTeardown,
} from "https://deno.land/x/nifty_lil_tricks_testing/mod.ts";
import {
  nestJsPlugin,
  type PluginConfig,
} from "https://deno.land/x/nifty_lil_tricks_testing/plugin_nestjs/mod.ts";
import { Controller, Get, Module } from "npm:@nestjs/common@^10.2.7";

// In another file, load plugins as follows to generate a setupTests function:
const { setupTests } = setupTestsFactory({ server: nestJsPlugin });

// In another file, define a NestJS app as follows:

@Controller()
export class BasicAppController {
  @Get("/hello")
  getHello(): string {
    return "Hello, world!";
  }
}

@Module({
  imports: [],
  controllers: [BasicAppController],
})
export class BasicAppModule {}

// Then one can use this in any test file as follows:
describe("Service", () => {
  let teardownTests: SetupTestsTeardown;
  let origin: string;

  beforeEach(async () => {
    // Setup tests with configured plugins
    const result = await setupTests({
      server: {
        appModule: BasicAppModule,
      } as PluginConfig,
    });
    teardownTests = result.teardownTests;
    origin = result.outputs.server.output.origin;
  });

  afterEach(async () => {
    // Teardown tests to restore environment after tests have run
    await teardownTests();
  });

  describe("method", () => {
    it("should test something that relies on the nestjs plugin", async () => {
      // Arrange & Act
      const response = await fetch(new URL("/hello", origin));

      // Assert
      assertEquals(response.status, 200);
      assertEquals(await response.text(), "Hello, world!");
    });
  });
});

With overrides

One can also use define a NestJS app with testing overrides to allow one to mock out dependencies where needed. For example, module overrides:

// Copyright 2023-2023 the Nifty li'l' tricks authors. All rights reserved. MIT license.

import { assertEquals } from "https://deno.land/std/testing/asserts.ts";
import {
  afterEach,
  beforeEach,
  describe,
  it,
} from "https://deno.land/std/testing/bdd.ts";
import {
  setupTestsFactory,
  type SetupTestsTeardown,
} from "https://deno.land/x/nifty_lil_tricks_testing/mod.ts";
import {
  nestJsPlugin,
  type PluginConfig,
} from "https://deno.land/x/nifty_lil_tricks_testing/plugin_nestjs/mod.ts";
import { Controller, Get, Module } from "npm:@nestjs/common@^10.2.7";

// In another file, load plugins as follows to generate a setupTests function:
const { setupTests } = setupTestsFactory({ server: nestJsPlugin });

// In another file, define a NestJS app as follows:

@Controller()
export class BasicAppController {
  @Get("/hello")
  getHello(): string {
    return "Hello, world!";
  }
}

@Module({
  imports: [],
  controllers: [BasicAppController],
})
export class BasicAppModule {}

// In another file, define a NestJS app overrides for testing as follows:
@Controller()
class NewAppController {
  @Get("/hello")
  getHello(): string {
    return "Ahoy!";
  }
}
@Module({
  controllers: [NewAppController],
})
class NewModule {}

// Then one can use this in any test file as follows:
describe("Service", () => {
  let teardownTests: SetupTestsTeardown;
  let origin: string;

  beforeEach(async () => {
    // Setup tests with configured plugins
    const result = await setupTests({
      server: {
        appModule: BasicAppModule,
        modules: [{
          moduleToOverride: BasicAppModule,
          newModule: NewModule,
        }],
      } as PluginConfig,
    });
    teardownTests = result.teardownTests;
    origin = result.outputs.server.output.origin;
  });

  afterEach(async () => {
    // Teardown tests to restore environment after tests have run
    await teardownTests();
  });

  describe("method", () => {
    it("should test something that relies on the nestjs plugin", async () => {
      // Arrange & Act
      const response = await fetch(new URL("/hello", origin));

      // Assert
      assertEquals(response.status, 200);
      assertEquals(await response.text(), "Ahoy!");
    });
  });
});
