Generating deeper structures

[zakgof]

When I'm trying to mock a structure like this:

generator.next(3, {key : Faker.lorem.word, inner: {prop1: Faker.lorem.word, prop2: Faker.lorem.sentence}})

the inner properties prop1 and prop2 do not get generated:

{"id":"0695987d-8dbc-4e1c-81a6-2de839b1eb03","key":"vel","inner":{}}

BUG FIXING

Reported:

• NOTE: What the user/tester/bug reporter said
• Example: https://github.com/nshimiye/react-mock/issues/28

Problem:

• NOTE: How you understand the reported bug. (basically a rephrase of Reported)
• Example: I cannot generate records from schemas with deeper structures.

Possible cause: (debugging, takes most of the time)

• NOTE: Look at the code and see what piece of code produces current behavior.
• Format:
  • scenario: What you did (usually helps, if possible, to isolate that piece of code in a fixed environment)
  • current behavior: What happened (results of a function, state of UI, …)
  • desired behavior: What should have happened (results of a function, state of UI, …)
• Example: createData functions assumes that values in the schema are primitives or functions, https://github.com/nshimiye/react-mock/blob/master/src/react-mock/data-generator.ts#L29-L40
  • scenario: FakerGenerator.next(1, {key : Faker.lorem.word, inner: {prop1: Faker.lorem.word, prop2: Faker.lorem.sentence}})
  • current behavior: [{ "id":"ea4a378f-9d25-4a23-9109-af06f5dd656c", "key":"molestiae", "inner":{}}]
  • desired behavior: [{ "id":"ea4a378f-9d25-4a23-9109-af06f5dd656c", "key":"molestiae", "inner":{ “prop1”: “distinctio”, “prop2”: “veniam” }}]

Proposed solution:

• NOTE: Describe what changes can be made to the piece of code, in order to produce desired behavior.
• Example: Add a recursive call for createData if current value in the loop is an object or an array.
