QA code test #1 - validation

QA validation

Setup

Assuming you have already installed node, do in your terminal:

# Clone this repository
$ git clone git@github.com:Adslot/node-puzzle.git
# Go to current dir
$ cd node_puzzle/07-validation
# Install npm dependencies
$ npm install
# Test your solution
$ npm test

Introduction

In this puzzle you need to write a validation function in lib/index.coffee. The function will need validate input that looks like:

{
  id: 1,
  name: "John",
  email: "test@adslot.com",
  taxRate: 0.1,
  favouriteColour: "#323232",
  interests: ["cycling", "programming"]
}

To be valid the input must satisfy:

  • id required, integer, positive
  • name required, string, 63 character max length
  • email required, string, 255 character max length
  • taxRate required, float, minimum 0 and maximum 1
  • favouriteColour optional, string, colour hex
  • interests optional, array, all interests must be strings (31 char max length) and no more than 4 interests should be provided

Note: there should be no other attributes in the input.

To make sure it works just do npm test from this directory.

Tasks

To complete this puzzle, you must:

  • Fix the two broken tests. (Hint: Do not change the existing tests in test/index.coffee!)
  • Write more tests to demonstrate your skills finding edge cases and corner cases. Change validation function in lib/index.coffee so that it returns a proper result in your test.

To test your validation functions run npm test.
