Creating Test Data

For Meteor integration tests, see Creating Test Data for Meteor Tests.

For non-Meteor Jest tests, Reaction Commerce provides a simple data Factory test utility that can create mock data for unit and integration test. The test util uses @reactioncommerce/data-factory to attach all core schemas to the Factory object.

Creating mock data

Mock one object

Use the makeOne() method with the name of the collection to mock one object:

import { Factory } from "/imports/test-utils/helpers/factory";
const mockTag = Factory.Tag.makeOne();

The mockTag output returns an object with fake data like this:

{
  _id: "e02993ea96d7",
  name: "mockName",
  slug: "mockSlug",
  type: "mockType",
  metafields: ["item"],
  position: 3ff4e0634ecc,
  relatedTagIds: ["mockRelatedTagIds.$"],
  isDeleted: false,
  isTopLevel: true,
  isVisible: true,
  groups: ["mockGroups.$"],
  shopId: "a05276973251",
  createdAt: "1970-01-02T02:28:37.000Z",
  updatedAt: "2018-06-04T19:16:58.117Z",
  heroMediaUrl: "mockHeroMediaUrl"
}

Mock multiple objects

Use the makeMany method and pass an integer to make multiple instances of one object:

const mockTags = Factory.Tag.makeMany(2);

The mockTags output returns an object with fake data like this:

[
 {
   _id: "e02993ea96d7",
   name: "mockName",
   slug: "mockSlug",
   type: "mockType",
   metafields: ["item"],
   position: "3ff4e0634ecc",
   relatedTagIds: ["mockRelatedTagIds.$"],
   isDeleted: false,
   isTopLevel: true,
   isVisible: true,
   groups: ["mockGroups.$"],
   shopId: "a05276973251",
   createdAt: "1970-01-02T02:28:37.000Z",
   updatedAt: "2018-06-04T19:16:58.117Z",
   heroMediaUrl: "mockHeroMediaUrl"
 },
 {
   _id: "bdc84075a8eb",
   name: "mockName",
   slug: "mockSlug",
   type: "mockType",
   metafields: ["item"],
   position: "5034c879b7c2",
   relatedTagIds: ["mockRelatedTagIds.$"],
   isDeleted: false,
   isTopLevel: true,
   isVisible: true,
   groups: ["mockGroups.$"],
   shopId: "28d65013adc8",
   createdAt: "1970-01-02T02:28:37.000Z",
   updatedAt: "2018-06-04T19:16:58.117Z",
   heroMediaUrl: "mockHeroMediaUrl"
 }
]

Mock one object with custom values

Creating mock data with custom property values. Sometimes you may need mock data to have a custom or consistent property, a shopId on a list of Tags is an example of a property that you might want the same for each mockTag created. To do this you can provide a properties object as an argument to ether the makeOne or makeMany factory methods to overwrite the mock data's mock value.

const mockTag = Factory.Tag.makeOne({ shopId: "1234" });

The mockTag output returns an object with custom data like this:

{
  _id: "e02993ea96d7",
  name: "mockName",
  slug: "mockSlug",
  type: "mockType",
  metafields: ["item"],
  position: 3ff4e0634ecc,
  relatedTagIds: ["mockRelatedTagIds.$"],
  isDeleted: false,
  isTopLevel: true,
  isVisible: true,
  groups: ["mockGroups.$"],
  shopId: "1234",
  createdAt: "1970-01-02T02:28:37.000Z",
  updatedAt: "2018-06-04T19:16:58.117Z",
  heroMediaUrl: "mockHeroMediaUrl"
}

Mock multiple object with custom values

Creating mock data with custom property function. When creating many mock object, you may need more control over the some of mock values, for example having sequential _id properties for each mockTag for more predictable test cases. To do this, you can define an arrow function as a value in the property's arguments object and the return value will be the new mockValue.

Pass an arrow function with an index:

const mockTags = Factory.Tag.makeMany(2, { shopId: "1234", _id: (index) => (index + 100).toString() });

The mockTags output returns an object with custom data like this:

[
 {
   _id: "100",
   name: "mockName",
   slug: "mockSlug",
   type: "mockType",
   metafields: ["item"],
   position: "3ff4e0634ecc",
   relatedTagIds: ["mockRelatedTagIds.$"],
   isDeleted: false,
   isTopLevel: true,
   isVisible: true,
   groups: ["mockGroups.$"],
   shopId: "1234",
   createdAt: "1970-01-02T02:28:37.000Z",
   updatedAt: "2018-06-04T19:16:58.117Z",
   heroMediaUrl: "mockHeroMediaUrl"
 },
 {
   _id: "101",
   name: "mockName",
   slug: "mockSlug",
   type: "mockType",
   metafields: ["item"],
   position: "5034c879b7c2",
   relatedTagIds: ["mockRelatedTagIds.$"],
   isDeleted: false,
   isTopLevel: true,
   isVisible: true,
   groups: ["mockGroups.$"],
   shopId: "1234",
   createdAt: "1970-01-02T02:28:37.000Z",
   updatedAt: "2018-06-04T19:16:58.117Z",
   heroMediaUrl: "mockHeroMediaUrl"
 }
]

Indexes can be passed from one makeMany method into another makeMany method. In this example, passing 30 into makeMany will then pass 30 into makeMockProductWithSpecificId. This way, you can create many CatalogItems with CatalogProducts with a specified product._id value:

function makeMockProductWithSpecificId(index) {
  const productId = (index + 100).toString();

  return Factory.CatalogProduct.makeOne({
    _id: productId,
    isDeleted: false,
    isVisible: true,
    tagIds: [mockTagWithFeatured._id],
    shopId: internalShopId
  });
}

const mockCatalogItemsWithFeaturedProducts = Factory.Catalog.makeMany(30, {
  product: makeMockProductWithSpecificId,
  shopId: internalShopId
});
