Blaise

An API to generate mock payloads for @ovotech/castle using @ovotech/avro-mock-generator

Usage

Concept

blaise() is mostly just a chainable deepMerge, with utilities to generate messages and payloads once everything is configured.

Calling blaise() returns a new version of blaise, preloaded with the provided defaults, without mutating the parent.

examples/chain.ts

import blaise from '@ovotech/blaise';

const withAvro = blaise({ avro: { schema } });
const coffee = withAvro({ avro: { pickUnion: ['coffee'] } });
const tea = withAvro({ avro: { pickUnion: ['tea'] } });

coffee.getDefault(); // { avro: { schema, pickUnion: ['coffee']}}
tea.getDefault(); // { avro: { schema, pickUnion: ['tea']}}

Generate an Avro Message

examples/avro-message.ts

import blaise from '@ovotech/blaise';

const schema: avsc.RecordType = {
  type: 'record',
  name: '',
  fields: [{ name: 'anInt', type: 'int' }],
};
type MyType = { anInt: number };
blaise<MyType>({ avro: { schema } }).message(); // {topic: '', {anInt: 32}, [...]}

You can also override the message, either as part of the default or when calling the function

examples/avro-message-override.ts

import blaise from '@ovotech/blaise';

const schema: avsc.RecordType = {
  // [...]
};
const brewCoffee = blaise({
  avro: { schema },
  message: { value: { type: 'coffee' } },
});
brewCoffee.message({ value: { with: 'milk' } }); // {offset: 13, value {type: 'coffee', with: 'milk'}, [...]}

Generate a CastleEachMessagePayload

examples/each-message.ts

import blaise from '@ovotech/blaise'

const schema: avsc.RecordType = {
  // [...]
};
blaise({ avro: { schema }).eachMessage(); // { topic: 'aTopic', value: {} [...]}

Generate a CastleEachBatchPayload

examples/each-batch.ts

import blaise from '@ovotech/blaise'

const schema: avsc.RecordType = {
  // [...]
};
const makeMessage = blaise({ avro: { schema })
blaise.eachBatch([makeMessage()]); // {batch: { topic: 'aTopic', value: {} }[...]}

Deterministic generation

Make use of the seed options to use a deterministic random generator instead of true randomness.

Each call to .defaults() or .seed() with a seed will reset the randomness.

Running the tests

You can run the tests with:

yarn test

Coding style (linting, etc) tests

Style is maintained with prettier and eslint

yarn lint

Deployment

Deployment is preferment by lerna automatically on merge / push to main, but you'll need to bump the package version numbers yourself. Only updated packages with newer versions will be pushed to the npm registry.

What does the name mean?

It's just a fun pun. Take a Castle, make a 'mock' version of it, and you get Bristol's Blaise Castle
