FactoryDude

A Node module to create mongoose objects for test data

To be used in test suites (mocha, chai, jasmine, etc) for fetures that use mongoose models. Inspired by factory_girl

Install

	npm  install FactoryDude

Usage

	var FactoryDude = require('FactoryDude');
	var factoryDude = new FactoryDude();

Create a Factory

	var newFixtureModel = factoryDude.factory(
		<model name>,
		<path to require model>,
		<object with model attributes to create>
	);
	/*
	 * returns a mongoose model that has been saved in the database
	 * and can be used just as any other mongoose models.
	 */

Reference one factory in another factory

	factoryDude.reference(<name of model to reference>, <attribute to reference>);

	var firstFixtureModel = factoryDude.factory(
		'firstModel',
		'./path/to/model',
		{name: 'test', number: 1}
	);
	//creates a model with the name test and a number 1

	var secondFixtureModel = factoryDude.factory(
		'secondModel',
		'./path/to/model',
		{name: factoryDude.reference('firstModel', 'name'), number: 2}
	);
	//creates a model with the name test and a number 2

Destroy a factory model that was already created

	factoryDude.destroy(<name of model>);

	var firstFixtureModel = factoryDude.factory(
		'firstModel',
		'./path/to/model',
		{name: 'test', number: 1}
	);

	factoryDude.destroy('firstModel'); //'firstModel' is no longer in the database or a fixture
