Description

Interactive test fixture for vue component.

Component is designed to receive any component you want to test as a default slot

<sandbox>

  <!-- Use the default slot to create the component under test -->
  <component-under-test/>

</sandbox>

Component-fixture will automatically:

• Mirror all the props of the tested component
• Bind this data to the component under-test
• Display all the props in a form so that it is possible to edit them

Features:

• Respect props type and use custom input for each type
• Provide input for objects and function
• Create v-model binding if needed
• Support of two-way data binding using the .sync modifier pattern
• Custom props validation when available
• Support component with slots
• Display of all events emitted by the component
• Display of component data and computed information
• Exposition of component method as buttons that can be called with display of the produced result
• Compatible with hot-reload: automatic update on changes happening on the tested component

Example using vue-slider-component:

Uses cases

Why would you need such a component?

ComponentFixture is intended to be used only in a test/dev context with two main applications.

Discovering third party component

• Explore Interactively a component you are willing to use in your application.
• Understand by example what the props role.
• Quickly identify bugs and limitation on the component.

Testing a component you creates

• Create an example usage of your component that will update automatically
• Interact with the component while you create it.
• Easily identify bugs

Next steps

• [x] Provide a way to default component props
• [ ] Monkey testing: use randomly generated updates on component props.

This will be provided on next major version.

Example usage

<sandbox :defaults="{value: 23}">

  <!-- Use the default slot to for the component under test -->
  <component-under-test></component-under-test>

</sandbox>

import { Sandbox } from 'component-fixture'
import "component-fixture/dist/ComponentFixture.css"
import { componentUnderTest } from 'componentUnderTest'

export default {
  components: {
    componentUnderTest,
    Sandbox
  }
}

API

slots

• default Slot for the component under test

props

• defaults Object (optional)

  Value: {[propName]: defaultValue}

  Object sets to default the component under-test props. For example if you want to default the props value with 46, use: :defaults="{value: 46}"

• possibleValues Object (optional)

  Value: {[propName]: [...values]}

  Object used to predefined the possible values for a given props. The values defined by possibleValues will be used to create a select from the provided values for the given props. For example if you want to limit the props value to 1,2, 3 or 4, use: :possibleValues="{value: [1,2,3,4]}"

• componentHeight String (optional)

  Style to be applied to the component under-test height. Default to null.

• componentWidth String (optional)

  Style to be applied to the component under-test width. Default to null.

• useStore Boolean (default: false)

  If true and vuex is being used, a store module is automatically created and its state is bound to component props.
