fs-fixture



Simple API to create disposable test fixtures on disk.

Tiny (`560 B` gzipped) and no dependencies!

### Example
```ts
import fs from 'fs/promises'
import { createFixture } from 'fs-fixture'

const fixture = await createFixture({
'dir-a': {
'file-b': 'hello world'
}
})

const content = await fs.readFile(fixture.getPath('dir-a/file-b'))
console.log(content)
```

## Usage

Pass in an object representing the file structure:

```ts
import { createFixture } from 'fs-fixture'

const fixture = await createFixture({
// Nested directory syntax
'dir-a': {
'file-a.txt': 'hello world',
'dir-b': {
'file-b.txt': ({ fixturePath }) => `Fixture path: ${fixturePath}`,
'symlink-c': ({ symlink }) => symlink('../file-a.txt')
}
},

// Alternatively, use the directory path syntax - Same as above
'dir-a/dir-b/file-b.txt': 'goodbye world'
})

// Interact with the fixture
console.log(fixture.path)

// Cleanup fixture
await fixture.rm()
```

### Template path input

Pass in a path to a test fixture template directory to make a copy of it.

```ts
// Pass in a path to a fixture template path, and it will make a copy of it
const fixture = await createFixture('./fixtures/template-a')

/* Your test code here... */

// Cleanup fixture
await fixture.rm()
```

### `using` keyword (Explicit Resource Management)

[TypeScript 5.2](https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/release-notes/typescript-5-2.html) supports the [Explicit Resource Management](https://github.com/tc39/proposal-explicit-resource-management) feature, which allows you to instantiate the fixture via `using`. When the fixture is declared this way, it gets automatically cleaned up when exiting the scope.

```ts
await using fixture = await createFixture({ file: 'hello' })

// No need to run fixture.rm()
```

## API

### createFixture(source)

An async function that creates a fixture from the `source` you pass in, and returns a `FsFixture` instance.

#### source
Type: `string | FileTree`

Path to a template fixture path, or a `FileTree` object that represents the fixture content.

### Types
#### FileTree

```ts
type FileTree = {
[path: string]: string | FileTree | ((api: Api) => string)
}

type Api = {
// Fixture root path
fixturePath: string

// Current file path
filePath: string

// Get path from the root of the fixture
getPath: (...subpaths: string[]) => string

// Create a symlink
symlink: (target: string) => Symlink
}
```

#### FsFixture

```ts
class FsFixture {
/**
Path to the fixture directory.
*/
readonly path: string

/**
Create a Fixture instance from a path. Does not create the fixture directory.
*/
constructor(fixturePath: string)

/**
Get the full path to a subpath in the fixture directory.
*/
getPath(...subpaths: string[]): string

/**
Check if the fixture exists. Pass in a subpath to check if it exists.
*/
exists(subpath?: string): Promise

/**
Delete the fixture directory. Pass in a subpath to delete it.
*/
rm(subpath?: string): Promise

/**
Create a file in the fixture directory.
*/
writeFile(filePath: string, content: string): Promise

/**
Create a JSON file in the fixture directory.
*/
writeJson(filePath: string, json: unknown): Promise

/**
Read a file from the fixture directory.
*/
readFile(filePath: string, encoding?: BufferEncoding): Promise
}
```
