Testing
Because your domain is described a series of pure functions, testing becomes ultra-simple: given some input, expect a certain output. No mocking calls to external services or a database.
Let's look at the basic example from the Domain page:
actions.js
const actions = {
addTodo: (state, payload) => {
if (!payload.title) throw new Error('titleMissing')
return [{
type: 'TodoAdded',
title: payload.title,
at: Date.now(),
}]
}
}
module.exports = actions
Now let's write a test for this.
__test__/actions.js
// stub Date.now
Date.now = () => 123
const test = require('tape')
const actions = require('../actions')
test('addTodo', assert => {
assert.deepEquals(
actions.addTodo({}, { title: 'foobar' }),
[{
type: 'TodoAdded',
title: 'foobar',
at: 123
}],
'generates a TodoAdded event'
)
assert.throws(
() => actions.addTodo({}, { foo: 'bar' }),
/titleMissing/,
'throws if title is missing'
)
})
And we can even execute it:
reducer.js
const initialState = {
todos: []
}
const reducer = (state, event) => {
switch (event.type) {
case 'TodoAdded':
return {
todos: [
...state.todos,
{ title: event.title },
]
}
default:
return state
}
}
module.exports = (events, state=initialState) => events.reduce(reducer, state)
__test__/reducer.js
const test = require('tape')
const reducer = require('../reducer')
test('todoReducer', assert => {
const events = [
{ type: 'TodoAdded', title: 'get milk' },
{ type: 'TodoAdded', title: 'borrow sugar' },
{ type: 'Invalid', title: 'ignore this' },
]
const expected = {
todos: [
{ title: 'get milk' },
{ title: 'borrow sugar' },
]
}
const result = reducer(events)
assert.deepEquals(result, expected, 'reduces events')
assert.end()
})
