ember-ja-query

JaQuery is a query interface around a JSON-API (JA) object or array response that provides conveniences in tests. For example, this is useful if you need to work with (e.g. filter, find) canned JA responses via Pretender and ember-cli-pretender.

It will not be included in non-test environment builds.

ember install ember-ja-query

Usage

Wrap your response with JaQuery:

import JaQuery from 'my-app/tests/ember-ja-query';
import objectResponse from '...';
import arrayResponse from '...';
 
let user = new JaQuery(objectResponse);
let users = new JaQuery(arrayResponse);

You can wrap a JA response for both a single item or many items. Once wrapped, you can query the response like you would any Ember Object:

// top level keys
wrapped.get('id') // "1";
wrapped.get('type') // "user";
 
// attributes
wrapped.get('firstName') // "Ricky";
 
// relationships
wrapped.get('job') // {id: "1", type: "jobs"};
 
// included relationships
wrapped.get('job.name') // "ceo"

If wrapping an array response, supported array methods will "just work", but note that these will return the JA response and not the JaQuery child object:

let ceo = wrapped.filter((user) => user.get('job.id') === '1');
let ceo = wrapped.filterBy('id', '1');
let ceo = wrapped.findBy('job.name', 'ceo');
let employees = wrapped.rejectBy('id', '1');

You can opt-out of this behaviour by setting shouldUnwrapArrayMethods to false. Array methods will then return the result wrapped in a JaQuery object.

Using with ember-cli-pretender in an acceptance test:

import { test } from 'qunit';
import Pretender from 'Pretender';
import moduleForAcceptance from 'my-app/tests/helpers/module-for-acceptance';
import JaQuery from 'my-app/tests/ember-ja-query';
import usersResponse from '...';
 
moduleForAcceptance('Acceptance | some/route', {
  beforeEach() {
    this.server = new Pretender(function() {
      this.get(users, function({ queryParams }) {
        let { firstName } = queryParams;
        let data = new JaQuery(usersResponse).filterBy('firstName', firstName);
 
        return [200, { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' }, JSON.stringify(data));
      });
    })
  },
  afterEach() {
    this.server.shutdown();
  }
});
 
test('it should ...', function(assert) {
  visit('/users');
 
  andThen(() => assert.ok(...);
});

  • relationships
  • isObject
  • isArray
  • hasIncluded
  • hasRelationships

  • get
  • unwrap

Supported array methods

In addition to the above, if you wrap an array response, these array methods are available to use on the JaQuery object:

• filter
• filterBy
• find
• findBy
• reject
• rejectBy

shouldUnwrapArrayMethods

Defaults to true.

If true, array methods will unwrap the response (returning the actual JA JSON response(s) that come back from that array method).

wrapped.filter((user) => user.get('job.id') === 1);
 
// returns:
{
  "data": [
    {
      "id": "1",
      "type": "event",
      "attributes": {
        ...
      },
      "relationships": {
        ...
      }
    }
  ]
}

Set to false prior to calling an array method to opt-out of this and instead return the wrapped child object:

wrapped.set('shouldUnwrapArrayMethods', false);
let user = wrapped.findBy('id', '1'); // Class
user.get('job.name'); // "ceo"

wrapped.unwrap(log);
