Component Fixture

Interactive test fixture for vue component.

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

View demo View Github 
<component-fixture>

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

  <!-- Use this slot to enable edition of props values, Editor is provided by this lib-->
  <Editor slot="control" slot-scope="scope" v-bind="scope"/>

</component-fixture>

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
  • Custom props validation when available
  • Support component with slots
  • Compatible with hot-reload: automatic update on changes hapening 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

<component-fixture :defaults="{value: 23}">

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

  <!-- Use this slot to enable edition of props values -->
  <template v-slot:control="scope">
    <editor v-bind="scope"/>
  </template>

</component-fixture>

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

export default {
  components: {
    ComponentFixture,
    componentUnderTest,
    Editor
  }
}
