This is the start of a collection of patterns we've found useful for doing testing in the Scuttlebutt ecosystem
Areas it will hopefully cover (over time):
- message schemas/ validations
- writing and reading from the database:
- callback style
- streaming style
- flume indexes
- UI components
- ...
Tools it these will help you get familiar with:
- tape - basic assertion tests
- pull-streams
- database queries
- querying your own flumeview-level index
- ssb-backlinks
- ssb-query
- hyperscript / mutant
- electro - rendering simple UI components (TODO - compare with e.g. budo)
- ...
Get acquainted with testing with the tape module
Learn the basics of working with ssb-server and how it can easily be tested with tape
Publish a message to a secure-scuttlebut sigchain. Retrieve the message from the
database using pull-stream methods.
Three exercises focused on flumeview-reduce, a view layer on top of the secure-scuttlebutt database. Begin with a simple example in exercise one and iterate in lessons two and three.
Working with flumeview-level! Create a secure-scuttlebutt plugin that will
build a customized view of the messages in the database.
Tests include many examples of useful pull-stream methods.
Working with bytewise queries and be sure to review the tests for some good examples
of live streaming messages.
