Motivation
----------
* Using static json fixtures can be a pain as they are hard to maintain if the data evolves
* Adding new tests usually require the addition of new static json fixtures
* If a static json fixture is used in more than one test case even a little change can break all test cases
Inspiration
-----------
This library is inspired by `django-dynamic-fixture `_.
Getting Started
---------------
You just have to define the schema of the data you want to generate:
::
from mongo_dynamic_fixture.schema import BaseSchema
from mongo_dynamic_fixture.fields import IntegerField
from mongo_dynamic_fixture.fields import DoubleField
from mongo_dynamic_fixture.fields import BooleanField
from mongo_dynamic_fixture.fields import StringField
from mongo_dynamic_fixture.fields import ArrayField
class SiteSchema(BaseSchema):
schema = {
'name': StringField(),
'aliases': ArrayField(StringField()),
'active': BooleanField(),
'stats': {
'last_day_visits': IntegerField(),
'average_daily_visits': DoubleField()
}
}
After that you can already generate your fixtures!
::
In [1]: from mongo_dynamic_fixture import N
In [2]: N(SiteSchema)
Out[2]:
{'active': True,
'aliases': ['kisxcp', 'lG', 'vH5', 'Q7oT1xi', 'RyooxkzB', 'FSFnP'],
'name': 'oCmy0ZsGS',
'stats': {'average_daily_visits': 0.02137056342099064, 'last_day_visits': 21}}
Basic usage
-----------
The basic functions are ``N`` and ``G`` that stand for *New* and *Get* respectively.
The ``N`` function
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The function ``N`` takes an instance of ``BaseSchema`` as first argument and generates a fixture which is compliant with the schema provided.
Obviously sometimes we would like to have more control over the fixture that we want generate, for this reason the ``N`` function also takes ``**kwargs`` optional arguments to fix some specific fields:
::
In [3]: N(SiteSchema, active=False, stats__last_day_visits=30)
Out[3]:
{'active': False,
'aliases': ['Euheq6sRgF',
'9ajFi',
'xhCiZfxSsZ',
'wf',
'k9pkIXS',
'kX10H5j4',
'ZH',
'142uYHlJvD'],
'name': 'KEKasgW',
'stats': {'average_daily_visits': 0.44985850259520865, 'last_day_visits': 30}}
As you can see both ``active`` and ``last_day_visits`` has been set to the values provided. If the key you want to fix is at the top level of the object then just use the variable name, otherwise list all its ancestors by separating them with ``__`` as for ``stats__last_day_visits``. If the resulting ``**kwargs`` key is not a valid python variable name, then pass it inside the ``extra`` argument:
::
In [3]: N(MySchema, field1=False, extra={'field2__some-invalid-name!': 30})
The ``G`` function
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The ``G`` function does the same thing of the ``N`` function but additionaly takes a ``pymongo`` connection to a mongo collection as first argument:
::
In [4]: G(conn['test-db']['test-coll'], SiteSchema, active=False, stats__last_day_visits=30)
Out[4]:
{'active': False,
'aliases': ['K8ae2uwdW',
'8P1lkRBC6',
'NUoyht',
'YG',
'BS9iV6Yy',
'gHgRVCq'],
'name': 'ihccMMs',
'stats': {'average_daily_visits': 0.5553574439909581, 'last_day_visits': 30}}
we have just created a fixture and inserted it inside the collection 'test-coll' of the database 'test-db'.
The available fields that are all importable from ``mongo_dynamic_fixture.fields`` are the following:
- ``IntegerField``
- ``DoubleField``
- ``BooleanField``
- ``StringField``
- ``ArrayField``
- ``ObjectField``
Using in a test case
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The easiest way to use the ``G`` function is to use it inside ``MongoTestCase`` which already provides a connection to a temporary mongo instance (using `mongobox `_) through the property ``mongo_client``:
::
from mongo_dynamic_fixture.test import MongoTestCase
class MyTestCase(MongoTestCase):
def test_something(self):
dynamic_fixture = G(self.mongo_client['test-db']['test-coll'],
SiteSchema, active=False, stats__last_day_visits=30)
...
A little more than basic usage
------------------------------
Optional arguments
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Each fields takes the following optional arguments:
- ``required`` (default: ``True``)
- ``null`` (default: ``False``)
- ``blank`` (default: ``False``)
- ``not_present_prob`` (default: ``0``)
- ``null_prob`` (default: ``0``)
- ``blank_prob`` (default: ``0``)
If ``required`` is ``False``, then with a probability given by ``not_present_prob`` the field will not be present in the document.
If ``null`` is ``True``, then with a probability given by ``null_prob`` the field will have a value of ``None``.
If ``blank`` is ``True``, then with a probability given by ``blank_prob`` the field will have a blank value which depends on the field.
The blank fields for each fields are the following:
- ``IntegerField`` -> ``0``
- ``DoubleField`` -> ``0.0``
- ``BooleanField`` -> ``False``
- ``StringField`` -> ``''``
- ``ArrayField`` -> ``[]``
- ``ObjectField`` -> ``{}``
``IntegerField`` and ``DoubleField`` also take ``min_value`` and ``max_value`` as optional arguments, and ``StringField`` and ``ArrayField`` also take ``min_length`` and ``max_length``.
``IntegerField``, ``DoubleField`` and ``StringField`` also take ``choices`` as optional argument which must be an iterable. In case that this argument is provided the generated value will one those present in the iterable.
With ``StringField`` it's also possible to specify the charset of the string to generate by passing it to the ``charset`` optional argument (default: ``string.ascii_letters + string.digits``).
``ObjectField`` and DRY
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now you might ask "And what is the purpose of ``ObjectField``"? Suppose that you have a schema like the following:
::
class SiteSchema(BaseSchema):
schema = {
'name': StringField(),
'aliases': ArrayField(StringField()),
'active': BooleanField(),
'stats-hourly': {
'last_visits': IntegerField(),
'average_visits': DoubleField()
},
'stats-daily': {
'last_visits': IntegerField(),
'average_visits': DoubleField()
},
'stats-monthly': {
'last_visits': IntegerField(),
'average_visits': DoubleField()
}
}
you can use ``ObjectField`` to write it in a more concise way:
::
from mongo_dynamic_fixture.fields import ObjectField
obj_field = ObjectField({'last_visits': IntegerField(),
'average_visits': DoubleField()})
class SiteSchema(BaseSchema):
schema = {
'name': StringField(),
'aliases': ArrayField(StringField()),
'active': BooleanField(),
'stats-hourly': obj_field,
'stats-daily': obj_field,
'stats-monthly': obj_field
}
