Ember-Formulaic

Simplify form filling with i18n translations.

Remove the tedium of formulaic form filling with Ember Test Helpers

Formulaic allows you to specify a hash of attributes to be input rather than procedurally calling Ember’s DSL methods.

Usage

First, import the test helpers:

// tests/test-helper.js
import './ember-formulaic/test-helpers';

Assume the page has the following template:

{{! app/templates/login.hbs }}

<form {{action "login" on="submit"}}>
  <div class="input">
    <label for="email">{{t "login.email"}}</label>
    {{input id="email" type="text" value=email}}
  </div>

  <div class="input">
    <label for="password">{{t "login.password"}}</label>
    {{input id="password" type="password" value=password}}
  </div>

  <div class="input">
    <label for="remember-me">{{t "login.remember-me"}}</label>
    {{input id="remember-me" type="checkbox" value=remember}}
  </div>

  <div class="input">
    <label for="role">{{t "login.role"}}</label>
    <select id="role">
      <option value="admin">Admin</option>
      <option value="user">User</option>
    </select>
  </div>

  <button class="submit">{{t "login.submit"}}</button>
</form>

and the following translations:

// app/locales/en/translations.js

export default {
  'login': {
    'email': 'Email or Username',
    'password': 'Password',
    'remember-me': 'Remember Me',
    'role': 'Role',
    'submit': 'Login',
  }
};

In your acceptance test, use the fillForm method:

// test/acceptance/fill-in-form-test.js

test('fill in form', function() {
  visit('/login')

  // with the 'login' namespace
  fillForm('login', {
    email: '[e-mail]',
    password: 'secret',
    remember-me: true,
    role: 'user',
  });

  // without a namespace
  fillForm({
    'login.email': '[e-mail]',
    'login.password': 'secret',
    'login.remember-me': true,
    'login.role': 'user',
  });
  clickOn('form.submit');

  andThen(function() {
    equal(currentPath(), 'loggedInPath');
  });
});

Translations with embedded HTML

When translating a label with HTML:

<label for="send-emails>{{t "send-emails" email="[e-mail]"}}</label>
<input id="send-emails" type="checkbox">

with the following translation file:

export default {
  'send-emails': 'Send me (<strong>{{email}}</strong>) emails',
};

fillForm and clickOn will strip out the <strong> tags when looking for label:contains("Send me ([e-mail]) emails").

Missing Translations

In the case of missing translations, fillForm and clickOn will fallback to looking up label tags containing the value of the translation key.

For instance:

clickOn('A label without a translation');

will look for first look for a translation keyed by "A label without a translation", fail, then fallback to looking for label:contains("A label without a translation").

NOTE:

If you've overridden app/utils/i18n/missing-message.js to return a non-null value that doesn't begin with Missing translation, this behavior won't work.
