io-ts-fuzzer - Fuzzing for io-ts codecs and types

io-ts-fuzzer lets you generate examples of a given io-ts type.

Quick Start

After yarn add io-ts io-ts-fuzzer...

import * as t from 'io-ts';
import * as fuzz from 'io-ts-fuzzer';

// Fuzzers for common types
const r = fuzz.createCoreRegistry();

// Type to fuzz
const target = t.union([t.string, t.type({n:t.number, b:t.boolean})]);

// Builds a particular fuzzer from the registry.
const fuzzer = fuzz.exampleGenerator(r, target);

// Make examples. The input integer and context
// fully determines the output example.
console.log(fuzzer.encode([0, fuzz.fuzzContext()]));
console.log(fuzzer.encode([1, fuzz.fuzzContext()]));
console.log(fuzzer.encode([2, fuzz.fuzzContext()]));
console.log(fuzzer.encode([493, fuzz.fuzzContext()]));

Types Supported

Currently supports (and their nested closure):

• t.array
• t.boolean
• t.exact
• t.Int
• t.intersection
• t.keyof
• t.literal
• t.null
• t.number
• t.partial
• t.readonly
• t.readonlyArray
• t.recursive
• t.string
• t.tuple
• t.type (interface)
• t.undefined
• t.union
• t.unknown
• t.UnknownArray
• t.void

Use Cases

Generating Conforming Examples and Verifying Decoder Behavior

Given a d = t.Decoder<I,A> (aka a t.Type), fuzz.exampleGenerator will build a t.Encoder<[number,FuzzContext],A> that will give example instances of A. The example instances should all pass on d.decode, which should return an identical example. No exceptions should be thrown.

Configuring Core Fuzzers

The FluentRegistry interface lets you easily change certain core fuzzers, currently:

• maximum array length (array, readonlyArray, UnknownArray)
• extra properties inserted into partial and type (interface) objects
• type used to fuzz unknown types

Recursive Types

When fuzzing recursive types, you can provide to the context a maxRecursionHint which specifies the requested maximum instantiations of any recursive type. Note that this is the maximum depth of recursive types, not all types. If the recursive depth has been reached, fuzzers that have a choice of which child(ren) to instantiate (like unions, partials, or arrays) will attempt to choose children that won't recurse.

Note this is only a hint -- sometimes the type definition won't allow the fuzzer to choose such a non-recursive path (and you'll get a stack limit error when attempting to generate the actual example from the generator).

Fuzzing a Type (TODO)
