Popcorn is a JavaScript embedded DSL designed for quick, ease and
flexible JSON object generation. The core modules provides a basic set
of generators for most common JavaScript types, and combinators to build
new generators for any kind of data. Additional modules extend the
functionality with random generators, dictionaries, network type
generators for IP or mac address and more.
Main purpose of this framework is mock object generation for testing
of JSON services and browser side JavaScript code. Since with this
DSL thousands of test cases can be expressed in just few lines of code,
it makes for a great driver for data-driven test engines.
Quick start:
with({ core: Popcorn.Core,
comm: Popcorn.Common }) { // Load other modules as needed.
var base_object = { // Define the base object.
id : 1,
name : 'Woody'
};
var generator = { // Define the generator object.
id : core.range(10, 20),
name : comm.list('Buzz', 'Slinky')
};
// And run it!
var results = core.generate(generator, base_object);
}
