Basics

Let's go through basic steps needed to get swinging. We will take care of registering model for generating simple fixtures.

Register your model

At first you need to register a blueprint to have something to generate from

JavaScript

var fixtureFactory = require('fixture-factory');

var userDataModel = {
  firstName: 'name.firstName',
  lastName: 'name.lastName',
};

fixtureFactory.register('user', userDataModel);

Generate your first fixture

JavaScript

var userFixture = fixtureFactory.generateOne('user');

expect userFixture to equal

JSON

{
 firstName: <generated first name>,
 lastName: <generated last name>
}

Let's generate ten more

Generating more fixture is as simple as getting the first one

JavaScript

var userFixtures = fixtureFactory.generate('user', 10);

expect to get

JSON

[
 {
  firstName: <generated first name>,
  lastName: <generated last name>
 }, 
  ...9 more
]
