Mocks

[lamuertepeluda]

I cannot understend how to pass mock types. Could you please provide an example?

`'JSON file with mock data, defaults to the schema file name with ".json" extension.'``

is of little help

(what I'm trying to do is to mock scalar Date)

Scalars are not supported at the moment.

Although it will not work with scalars either, if you are interested in serving a schema file with mocking capabilities, you should be better off trying this instead: https://github.com/almilo/granate/tree/master/src/annotations/mock

cheers

I see, thank you. By looking at your code, it seems an issue of graphql-tools, not yours. Scalars seem to get ignored.
But good news is, you are not tied to using JSON as mockfile, but you can define a mocks.js file as well, in plain javascript.

Here's my workaround, close to what I wanted to achieve but enough to play with GraphQL:

mocks.js

module.exports = {
    Date:{
        value: new Date()
    },
    Buffer: (new Buffer(10)).toJSON(),
    Report: {
        title: 'Report title',
        text: 'Hola mundo',
        position: {
            latitude: 45.233992837,
            longitude: 7.21876218
        }
    }
}

and schema

interface Entity {
  id: ID!
  name: String
}
type User implements Entity {
    id: ID!
    name: String
    age: Int
    balance: Float
    is_active: Boolean
    reports:[Report]
}

type Location {
    latitude: Float,
    longitude: Float
}

# scalar Date
type Date{
    value: String
}

# scalar Buffer
type Buffer{
    type: String,
    data:[Int]
}

type Report{
    id: ID!,
    date: Date,
    title: String!
    text: String!,
    position: Location,
    picture: Buffer
}

type Query {
    #query me
    me: User,
    #query user by id
    user(id: ID!): User
    #query report by id
    report(id: ID!): Report
    #query list of users
    users(limit: Int = 10): [User]!
    #query user reports
    reports(forUser: ID!, limit: Int = 5): [Report]!
}

schema {
    query: Query
}

and query

{
  report(id:"ec495aac-2bac-4ad9-b133-84798ce3332b"){
    id,
    title,
    text,
    date{
      value
    },
    picture{
      data
    }
  }
}
