# json-schema-fast-check

[JSON Schema](https://json-schema.org) is a useful way to define input and output schemas.

Property testing is a useful way to make sure that a function behaves as expected with *any* valid input.

`json-schema-fast-check` implements arbitrary JSON Schema values using the [`fast-check`](https://github.com/dubzzz/fast-check) library for property testing.

## Example

```typescript
import jsfc from "json-schema-fast-check";
import fc from "fast-check";

const getAge = (data: any) =>
typeof data === "object" && typeof data.age === "number"
? Math.floor(data.age)
: null;

const userSchema = {
type: "object",
properties: {
required: ["name", "id"],
name: {
type: "string"
},
age: {
type: "integer",
minimum: 0
},
id: {
type: "integer"
}
}
}

test("my function yields positive age or null", () => {
fc.assert(fc.property(jsfc(userSchema), user => {
const age = getAge(user);
return age === null || age >= 0;
}));
});
```

## API

The API has only two functions - the default one (which we call `jsfc` just cuz) and a helper function called `generate`.

### `jsfc` (default)

```typescript
const arbitrary = jsfc(mySchema);
```

Creates a [`fast-check` arbitrary](https://github.com/dubzzz/fast-check/blob/master/documentation/1-Guides/Arbitraries.md) from valid JSON schema.

### `generate`

```typescript
const json = generate(mySchema);
```

Generates a single valid JSON object that conforms to the schema.

## A note on JSON Schema

The actual schema used here is not JSON Schema but rather a subset of JSON Schema called "The Subest of JSON Schema I Was Not Too Lazy To Define." I also added some `faker-js` sugar (see the tests).
