Previous: Unit Testing with Dependent Files

Async.js

Async is a utility module which provides straight-forward, powerful functions for working with asynchronous JavaScript. Although originally designed for use with Node.js and installable via npm install --save async, it can also be used directly in the browser.

In this below example, We use async.parallel where we need to trigger the DB Service Method at the same time.

Service File

Unit Testing

Similar to Previous example, Added Mocha, Chai and Sinon and added only one example for success scenario.

Mainly we are by passing the DB Methods db.userData and db.activityData and return the custom data using Sinon Stub.

In this test case, we are checking the expected result is deeply equal to the method response.

Unit Testing with Async.js

const mocha = require('mocha');
const expect = require('chai').expect;
const sinon = require('sinon');
const db = require('./db');
const asyncFile = require('./parallel');
describe('Async Parallel.js', () => {
    let params, resultValues, userDataStub, activityDataStub, activityDataSpy;
    before(() => {
        params = ['first arg', 'second arg'];
        resultValues = ['First Result', 'Second Result'];
    });
    beforeEach(() => {
        userDataStub = sinon.stub(db, 'userData').callsFake((arg, callback) => {
            callback(null, {
                arg,
                result: resultValues[0]
            });
        });
        activityDataStub = sinon.stub(db, 'activityData').callsFake((arg, callback) => {
            callback(null, {
                arg,
                result: resultValues[1]
            });
        });        
    });
    it('should return the response', () => {
        return asyncFile.myAsyncParallel(function(error, results) {
            expect(results).to.deep.equal({
                first: {
                    arg: params[0],
                    result: resultValues[0]
                },
                second: {
                    arg: params[1],
                    result: resultValues[1]
                }
            });
        });
    });
});
