Testing ember data transforms
- 1. Testing Ember Data Transforms Sara Raasch
- 2. My API is dumb Or at least it’s treatments of dates is
- 3. Api /litter/:id (I SELL PUPPIES WHAT DO YOU EXPECT) Response { "litter":{ "id":1, "publishedAt":"2017-01-13 00:00:00", "birthDate":"2015-05-01", "deletedAt":null, "createdAt":"2016-08-16 15:07:36", "updatedAt":"2016-08-16 15:07:36", ... } } Uhh those dates though? 2015-01-01 2016-08-16 15:07:36 I guess I’m just supposed to know we mean utc? My browser sure doesn’t Not ISO8601 :( Dates don’t serialize back like that
- 5. Great, my days are dates now How do I test this? Seems kinda important to my app?
- 7. Uhh, ok thanks for that helpful boilerplate I’ll check the ember docs http://emberjs.com/api/data/classes/DS.Transform.html#conten t Uhh tells me how to make one, what it needs, nothing on testing I’ll check David’s blog, he knows everything http://thejsguy.com/2015/11/23/a-look-into-ember-data-transf orms.html Tons of helpful info here, but nothing on testing
- 8. Ok one last look at a transform addon I was looking at https://github.com/pk4media/ember-cli-moment-transform Ok, that’s really easy. I feel real dumb.
- 9. Basically only two things you need to know to test a transform transform.deserialize(SOMEDATA) transform.serialize(SOMEDATA)
- 10. All is now right with the world
