barrels-as-promised
A Promise
wrapper around the barrels
utility.
Installation
npm i --save-dev barrels-as-promised
Usage
NOTE: Adapted from the Barrels docs. Everything described there holds true here with the added promisy goodness described below...
Drop your fixtures in test/fixtures
as JSON files (or CommonJS modules) named after your models.
Once your Sails.js server is started:
var Barrels = ;var barrels = ;var fixtures = barrelsdata;barrels ;
Pass to the constructor the path to the folder containing your fixtures (defaults to ./test/fixtures
).
Populate
ing the test database involves three steps:
Removing any existing data from the collection corresponding to the fixture
Loading the fixture data into the test database
Automatically applying associations (can be disabled by passing false
as the last parameter to populate
)
Populate
also accepts an array of names of collections to populate as the first (optional) argument, for example:
barrels ;
Automatic association
Use the number of position (starting from one) of an entry in the JSON fixture as a reference to associate models (see https://github.com/bredikhin/barrels/blob/master/test/fixtures/products.json for example). This feature can be disabled by passing false
as the last parameter to populate
.
Required associations
If you have any associations described as required: true
, they will be added automatically, no matter if the last parameter to populate
is false
or not. However, you have to load your fixtures gradually (by passing an array of collection names as the first parameter) in such an order that collections corresponding to the required associations get populated first.
Let's say, for example, you are implementing a Passport.js
-based authentication, and every Passport
has User
as a required association. You'd write something like this:
barrels ;
