twilio-functions-utils

Twilio Functions Utils

This lib was created with the aim of simplifying the use of serverless Twilio, reducing the need to apply frequent try-catches and improving context management, making it no longer necessary to return the callback() method in all functions.

Badges

Installation

Install twilio-functions-utils with npm

  npm install twilio-functions-utils

Install twilio-functions-utils with yarn

  yarn add twilio-functions-utils

Features

• Dependency Injection
• Easy testing with DI
• Easy to use utils methods

Usage/Examples

Dependency Injection

Do not use arrow functions, otherwise the injection won't work.

// File: assets/create.private.js

const { Try } = require('twilio-functions-utils');

exports.create = async function (event) {
  const { client, env } = this

  return Try.promise(new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    const random = Math.random();

    if (random >= 0.5) {
      return resolve({ sucess: 'Resolved' });
    }
  
    return reject(new Error('Unresolved'));
  }));
};

// File: functions/create.js

const { useInjection, Response } = require('twilio-functions-utils');
const { create } = require(Runtime.getAssets()['/create.js'].path)

async function createAction(event) {
  const { cookies, request, env } = this
  const createTry = await this.providers.create(event)

  if (createTry.isError) {
    return new BadRequestError(createTry.error);
  }

  return new Response(createTry.data, 201);
}

exports.handler = useInjection(createAction, {
  providers: {
    create,
  },
  validateToken: true, // When using Token Validator, the Request body must contain a valid Token from Twilio.
});

Testing

"scripts": {
    "test": "NODE_ENV=test jest --collect-coverage --watchAll",
    "start": "twilio-run",
    "deploy": "twilio-run deploy"
  }

Your files structures must be have assets and functions into first or second levels starting from src (when in second level):

app/
├─ package.json
├─ node_modules/
├─ src/
│  ├─ functions/
│  ├─ assets/

or:

app/
├─ package.json
├─ functions/
├─ assets/
├─ node_modules/

Exports your function to be tested and your handler so it can be used by Twilio when in runtime:

async function functionToBeTested(event) {
  const something = await this.providers.myCustomProvider(event)
  return Response(something)
}

const handler = useInjection(functionToBeTested, {
  providers: {
    myCustomProvider,
  },
});

module.exports = { functionToBeTested, handler }; // <--

(Required) You always need to import the twilio.mock for Response Twilio Global object on your testing files begining.

require('twilio-functions-utils/lib/twilio.mock');

Use Twilio Functions Utils useMock to do the hard job and just write your tests with the generated function. You can use Twilio.mockRequestResolvedValue, Twilio.mockRequestImplementation, Twilio.mockRequestRejectedValue to Mock your Twilio API requests.

require('twilio-functions-utils/lib/twilio.mock');

const { useMock, Response } = require('twilio-functions-utils');
const { functionToBeTested } = require('../../functions/functionToBeTested'); // <-- Import here!

// Create the test function from the function to be tested
const fn = useMock(functionToBeTested, {
  providers: {
    myCustomProvider: async (sid) => ({ sid }), // Mock the providers implementation.
  },
  env: {
    YOUR_ENV_VAR: 'value'
  },
  client: {
    functionToMock: {}
  }
});

describe('Function functionToBeTested', () => {
  it('if {"someValue": true}', async () => {
    const request = { TaskSid: '1234567', TaskAttributes: '{"someValue": true}' };

    Twilio.mockRequestResolvedValue({
      statusCode: 200,
      body: {
        sid: '1234567'
      }
    })
    
    Twilio.mockRequestResolvedValue({
      statusCode: 200,
      body: {
        key: "MP****",
        data: { sid: '7654321' }
      }
    })

    const res = await fn(request);
    
    const customMap = await Runtime.getSync().maps("MP****").fetch();

    expect(res).toBeInstanceOf(Response);
    expect(res.body).not.toEqual(request);
    expect(res.data).toEqual({ sid: '7654321' });
    expect(res.body).toEqual({ sid: '1234567' });
  });
});
