VEGETA! WHAT DOES THE SCOUTER SAY ABOUT HIS POWER LEVEL?!?!
node.js bindings for the wonderful vegeta load-testing library. See here: https://github.com/tsenart/vegeta
Vegeta is an awesome load-testing library. It makes load testing super stress-free and is overall a real joy to use. However, currently there doesn't seem to be a library allowing you to use vegeta in a javascript context. This library sets out to change this by exposing the CLI implementation of vegeta in the node.js environment.
NOTE: vegeta must be installed on your machine in order to use this library. For help doing that see here: https://github.com/tsenart/vegeta#install
npm install node-vegeta --saveor
yarn add node-vegetaUsing node-vegeta is very similar to using vegeta via CLI. All vegeta commands are supported via node classes like so:
const Attack = require('node-vegeta').Attack;
const testAttack = new Attack(); // spawns an attack command
testAttack
.targets('targets.txt')
.body('body.json')
.rate(9001) // ITS OVER NINE THOUSAND!!!
.duration('30s')
.report() // spawns the report command and pipes the results of the attack command to it
.process() // fires off the actual process
.stdout.on('data', (data) => {
console.log('report', data)
})All flags for attack, encode, report, and plot are also supported by the node interface.
This library supports streaming from the get-go. It should be very easy to integrate with the wonderful streaming ecosystem that nodejs supports
Example:
const fs = require('fs');
const path = require('path');
const vegeta = require('node-vegeta');
const Attack = vegeta.Attack;
const Report = vegeta.Report;
const testAttack = new Attack();
const testReport = new Report();
const summaryStream = fs.createWriteStream(path.join(__dirname, 'summary.json'));
const resultsStream = fs.createWriteStream(path.join(__dirname, 'results.bin'));
const attackCommand = testAttack
.body(path.join(__dirname, 'body.json'))
.rate(500)
.duration('5s')
.process();
const reportCommand = testReport.type('json').process();
attackCommand.stdin.setEncoding('utf-8');
attackCommand.stdin.write('GET localhost:3000\n'); // fire the attack to localhost:3000
attackCommand.stdin.end();
attackCommand.stdout.pipe(resultsFile); // stream results to the results file
attackCommand.stdout.pipe(reportCommand.stdin); // streams results to the report command
reportCommand.stdout.pipe(summaryFile); // stream report to the summary file
