typed-fluent-builders

Helper abstract class for creating Fluent Builders for use in creating test objects.

All Fluent Builder objets here are immutable, allowing for quick change testing.

Example Usage

Tests

import { A, An } from './builders';

test('example', () => {
    const p = A.Person
        .named().withGiven('Alice').withFamily('Jones').return()
        .aged(51)
        .withPhoneNumbers()
            .add().ofKind('work').valued('555 124 1241').return()
            .add().ofKind('home').valued('555 421 1241').return()
            .add().ofKind('mobile').valued('1234 567 890').return()
            .return()
        .build();
    
    expect(p).toEqual({
        name: {
            given: 'Alice',
            family: 'Jones',
        },
        age: 51,
        phoneNumbers: [
            { kind: 'work', value: '555 124 1241' },
            { kind: 'home', value: '555 421 1241' },
            { kind: 'mobile', value: '1234 567 890' }
        ],
    })
});

test('example immutable', () => {
    const base = A.Person
        .named().withGiven('Alice').withFamily('Jones').return()
        .aged(51)
        .withPhoneNumbers()
            .add().ofKind('work').valued('555 124 1241').return()
            .add().ofKind('home').valued('555 421 1241').return()
            .add().ofKind('mobile').valued('1234 567 890').return()
            .return()
    
    const personA = base.build();
    const personB = base.aged(21).named().withGiven('Susan').build();

    expect(personA.phoneNumbers).toEqual(personB.phoneNumbers);

    expect(personA.name.given).not.toBe(personB.name.given);
    expect(personA.name.family).toBe(personB.name.family);

    expect(personA.age).toBe(51);
    expect(personB.age).toBe(21);
});
