mojito-markup-test

Mojito markup test utility

Build Status

Overview

The markup layout test utility will render the mojit view with mock data and expose the resulting markup to be validated using YUI Node module.

Markup tests written with this utility will be run as regular mojito unit tests using mojito test command

Usage

Three easy steps:

1. Require mojito-markup-test.
2. Add a mojit spec.
3. Render view and validate markup.

Mojit spec

You must specify the mojit and view to render, along with the mock data to use.

You can mock any data, including parameters, configuration, request and headers.

//describe the mojit to render
spec = {
    //mojit type (dir name)
    type: 'SimpleMojit',

    //action to test
    action: 'index',

    //mojit params
    params: {
        url: {
            p: 'Really!'
        }
    },

    //mojit config (to use with ac.config.get() )
    appConfig: {
        foo: 'bar'
    },

    //mock request/response and headers data
    req: {
        p: 'flowers'
    },
    res: {},
    headers: {
         'Content-Type': 'text/html'
    }
};

Rendering views

Once you have the mojit spec, you can render the view invoking the utility's render method.

render (spec, callback)

Receives the mojit spec and a callback function which will get the error (if any), the rendered markup string, the mojit view meta object and the node (YUI Node) for the resulting markup.

MarkupTest.render(spec, function (err, markup, meta, node) {

    //rendering done, resume paused test and verify
    test.resume(function () {
        var div, em, i, a, text;

        A.isNull(err);
        //we have markup
        A.areNotEqual('', markup, 'Markup');
        //we have meta
        A.isNotNull(meta, 'Meta');

        //we have a node
        A.isNotUndefined(node, 'Parent node');
        A.isNotNull(node, 'Parent node');

        //use YUI Node methods to access rendered elements
        div = node.one('.msg');
        A.isNotUndefined(div, 'msg <div>');
        A.isNotNull(div, 'msg <div>');
    });

                    type: 'CompositeMojit',
