Sequelize fixtures

This is a simple lib to load data to database using sequelize.
It is intended for easily setting up test data.
Yaml and json formats are supported. Includes a grunt task.

findOrCreate is used to create records, so no record duplication when identical fixtures are defined or loaded multiple times.

Install

npm install sequelize-fixtures

Test

npm test

Usage

    var sequelize_fixtures = require('sequelize-fixtures'),
        models = {
            Foo: require('./models/Foo')
        };

    //from file
    sequelize_fixtures.loadFile('fixtures/test_data.json', models, function(){
        doStuffAfterLoad();
    });

    //can use glob syntax to select multiple files
    sequelize_fixtures.loadFile('fixtures/*.json', models, function(){
        doStuffAfterLoad();
    });

    //array of files
    sequelize_fixtures.loadFiles(['fixtures/users.json', 'fixtures/data*.json'], models, function(){
        doStuffAfterLoad();
    };

    //specify file encoding (default utf8)
    sequelize_fixtures.loadFile('fixtures/*.json', models, { encoding: 'windows-1257'}, function(){
        doStuffAfterLoad();
    });
    
    //apply transform for each model being loaded
    sequelize_fixtures.loadFile('fixtures/*.json', models, {
      transformFixtureDataFn: function (data) {
          if(data.createdAt 
           && data.createdAt < 0) { 
            data.createdAt = new Date((new Date()).getTime() + parseFloat(data.createdAt) * 1000 * 60);
          }
          return data;
        }
    });

    //from array
    var fixtures = [
        {
            model: 'Foo',
            data: {
                propA: 'bar',
                propB: 1
            }
        },
        {
            model: 'Foo',
            data: {
                propA: 'baz',
                propB: 3
            }
        }
    ];
    sequelize_fixtures.loadFixtures(fixtures, models, function(err){
        doStuffAfterLoad();
    });

File formats

json

    [
        {
            "model": "Foo",
            "data": {
                "propA": "bar",
                "propB": 1
            }
        },
        {
            "model": "Foo",
            "data": {
                "propA": "baz",
                "propB": 3
            }
        }
    ]

yaml

    fixtures:
        - model: Foo
          data:
            propA: bar
            propB: 1
        - model: Foo
          data:
            propA: baz
            propB: 3

javascript

    module.exports = [
        {
            "model": "Foo",
            "data": {
                "propA": "bar",
                "propB": 1
            }
        },
        {
            "model": "Foo",
            "data": {
                "propA": "baz",
                "propB": 3
            }
        }
    ];

Associations

You can specify associations by providing related object id or a where clause to select associated object with. Make sure associated objects are described before associations!

belongsTo

Assuming Car.belongsTo(Owner):

[
    {
        "model": "Owner",
        "data": {
            "id": 11,
            "name": "John Doe",
            "city": "Vilnius"
        }
    },
    {
        "model": "Car",
        "data": {
            "id": 203,
            "make": "Ford",
            "owner": 11
        }
    }
]

OR

[
    {
        "model": "Owner",
        "data": {
            "name": "John Doe",
            "city": "Vilnius"
        }
    },
    {
        "model": "Car",
        "data": {
            "make": "Ford",
            "owner": { //make sure it's unique across all owners
                "name": "John Doe" 
            }
        }
    }
]

hasMany

Assuming

Project.hasMany(m.Person);
Person.hasMany(m.Project);

[
    {
        "model":"Person",
        "data":{
            "id":122,
            "name": "Jack",
            "role": "Developer"
        }
    },
    {
        "model":"Person",
        "data":{
            "id": 123,
            "name": "John",
            "role": "Analyst"
        }
    },
    {
        "model":"Project",
        "data": {
            "id": 20,
            "name": "The Great Project",
            "peopleprojects": [122, 123]
        }
    }

]

OR

[
    {
        "model":"Person",
        "data":{
            "name": "Jack",
            "role": "Developer"
        }
    },
    {
        "model":"Person",
        "data":{
            "name": "John",
            "role": "Analyst"
        }
    },
    {
        "model":"Project",
        "data": {
            "name": "The Great Project",
            "peopleprojects": [
                {                        
                    "name": "Jack"
                },
                {
                    "name": "John"
                }
            ]
        }
    }

]

Build options, save optons

For each model you can provide build options that are passed to Model.build() and save options that are passed to instance.save(), example:

{
    "model": "Article",
    "buildOptions": { 
        "raw": true, 
        "isNewRecord": true
    },
    "saveOptions": { 
        "fields": ["title", "body"] 
    },
    "data": {
        "title": "Any title",
        "slug": "My Invalid Slug"
    }
}

grunt task

Gruntfile.js:

    grunt.initConfig({
        fixtures: {
            import_test_data: {
                src: ['fixtures/data1.json', 'fixtures/models*.json'],
                models: function () {  //returns mapping model name: model
                    return require('../models') 
                },
                options: { //specify encoding, optiona. default utf-8
                    encoding: 'windows-1257'
                }
            }
        }

    });

    grunt.loadNpmTasks('sequelize-fixtures');
