Description

This plug-in aim to resolve many problems, durling rails developping about fixtures. Basic commands is simple. Each commands load or dump fixtures.

rake db:flextures:dump

Major different point is four.

1. Fixture file prefered CSV to YAML.
2. Even if, not match column's structure, loading don't stop and auto padding data.
3. Fixture file name can change, if file name is not equal table name.
4. Fixture data can translate to use filter, like factory girl.

Unit test support

Fixture load function implemented for Unittes Tools (for example, RSpec, Shoulda).

describe ItemShopController do
  flextures :users, :items
end

flexture function can write like a "fixture" function, implemented in RSpec. But, "flexture" function ignore columns change.

Flextures function can change load file name.

Flextures load & dump filter

load filter

In config/flextures.factory.rb

Factory filter translate fixture data and set database.

For example, this code set current time to last_login_date column.

Flextures::Factory.define :users do |f|
  f.last_login_date = DateTime.now
end

This sample, generate name and sex automatically, and other tables data generate

require 'faker'
Flextures::Factory.define :users do |f|
  f.name= Faker::Name.name if !f.name  # gemerate name
  f.sex= [0,1].shuffle.first if !f.sex # generate sex
  # factory filter can generate data, use has_many association
  f.items<< [ Item.new( master_item_id: 1, count: 5 ), Item.new( master_item_id: 2, count: 3 ) ]
end

dump filter

if you need to convert table data into other data format, you use dump filter. (dump filter is same file as load filter)

dump filter has hash arguments, it is formatted colum name key and convert method, proc, lambda value

file is config/flextures.factory.rb

Flextures::DumpFilter.define :users, {
  :encrypted_password => lambda { |v| Base64.encode64(v) }
}

Other options please see wiki ...

Configuration file

In config/initializers/flextures.rb, configuration file can change load and dump directory

Flextures::Configuration.configure do |config|
  # Load and dump directory change "spec/fixtures/" to "test/fixtures/"
  config.load_directory = "test/fixtures/"
  config.dump_directory = "test/fixtures/"
end

Other options please see wiki ...
