Node.js database fixture library evaluation
Raw
README.md

Last updated: Nov 11, 2016

We are settings up database fixtures in our Node.js project. This is our evaluation of various fixture libraries:

Conclusion:

Going to try out sequelize-fixtures for now as it is less about generating dynamic data and more about fixtures

Our likely usage will be:

  • Define models by key in a JS file (so we can leverage nice integrations like moment-timezone with getters/setters)
  • Use the loadFixtures method with _.pick to retrieve models by key
    • Will prob need to verify that Object.keys of _.pick object is same as keys (so we prevent tests with typos)
  • Also define fixtures.DEFAULT_FIXTURES for easy reference in loader

Nice and useful gist, I found associations in sequelize-fixtures bit tricky, have you tried sql-fixtures package ?
Its working fine with relationships b/w gettting error when a field has setters.

Also I need to use inserted records in my test, exporting them in array then reading them index wise in test doesn't sound nice way.
