Core methods of MockFirebase
references for manipulating data and asynchronous behavior.
flush([delay])
-> ref
Flushes the queue of deferred data and authentication operations. If a delay
is passed, the flush operation will be triggered after the specified number of milliseconds.
In MockFirebase, data operations can be executed synchronously. When calling any Firebase API method that reads or writes data (e.g. set(data)
or on('value')
), MockFirebase will queue the operation. You can call multiple data methods in a row before flushing. MockFirebase will execute them in the order they were called when flush
is called.
flush
will throw an exception if the queue of deferred operations is empty.
Example:
ref.set({
foo: 'bar'
});
console.assert(ref.getData() === null, 'ref does not have data');
ref.flush();
console.assert(ref.getData().foo === 'bar', 'ref has data');
autoFlush([delay|setting])
-> ref
Configures the Firebase reference to automatically flush data and authentication operations when run. If no arguments or true
are passed, the operations will be flushed immediately (synchronously). If a delay
is provided, the operations will be flushed after the specified number of milliseconds. If false
is provided, autoFlush
will be disabled.
splitQueue()
-> undefined
Normally all child paths inherit the event queue from their parent reference. Calling ref.flush
on a reference with listeners at child paths would normally fire all listeners and persist pending data changes. You can override this behavior by calling splitQueue
on a path to detach the queue from the parent. You should call this before adding listeners or changing data.
joinQueue()
-> undefined
After calling splitQueue
, joinQueue
will restore the normal behavior and reconnect the child flush queue to the parent. Any existing queued events on the child will be lost.
failNext(method, err)
-> undefined
When method
is next invoked, trigger the onComplete
callback with the specified err
. This is useful for simulating validation, authorization, or any other errors. The callback will be triggered with the next flush
.
err
must be a proper Error
object and not a string or any other primitive.
Example:
var error = new Error('Oh no!');
ref.failNext('set', error);
var err;
ref.set('data', function onComplete (_err_) {
err = _err_;
});
console.assert(typeof err === 'undefined', 'no err');
ref.flush();
console.assert(err === error, 'err passed to callback');
forceCancel(err [, event] [, callback] [, context]
-> undefined
Simulate a security error by cancelling listeners (callbacks registered with on
) at the path with the specified err
. If an optional event
, callback
, and context
are provided, only listeners that match will be cancelled. forceCancel
will also invoke off
for the matched listeners so they will be no longer notified of any future changes. Cancellation is triggered immediately and not with a flush
call.
Example:
var error = new Error();
function onValue (snapshot) {}
function onCancel (_err_) {
err = _err_;
}
ref.on('value', onValue, onCancel);
ref.flush();
ref.forceCancel(error, 'value', onValue);
console.assert(err === error, 'err passed to onCancel');
getData()
-> Any
Returns a copy of the data as it exists at the time. Any writes must be triggered with flush
before getData
will reflect their results.
getKeys()
-> Array
Returns an array of the keys at the path as they are ordered in Firebase.
fakeEvent(event [, key] [, data] [, previousChild] [, priority])
-> ref
Triggers a fake event that is not connected to an actual change to Firebase data. A child key
is required unless the event is a 'value'
event.
Example:
var snapshot;
function onValue (_snapshot_) {
snapshot = _snapshot_;
}
ref.on('value', onValue);
ref.set({
foo: 'bar';
});
ref.flush();
console.assert(ref.getData().foo === 'bar', 'data has foo');
ref.fakeEvent('value', undefined, null);
ref.flush();
console.assert(ref.getData() === null, 'data is null');
Authentication methods for simulating changes to the auth state of a Firebase reference.
changeAuthState(authData)
-> undefined
Changes the active authentication credentials to the authData
object. Before changing the authentication state, changeAuthState
checks whether the authData
object is deeply equal to the current authentication data. onAuth
listeners will only be triggered if the data is not deeply equal. To simulate no user being authenticated, pass null
for authData
. This operation is queued until the next flush
.
authData
should adhere to the documented schema.
Example:
ref.changeAuthState({
uid: 'theUid',
provider: 'github',
token: 'theToken',
expires: Math.floor(new Date() / 1000) + 24 * 60 * 60, // expire in 24 hours
auth: {
myAuthProperty: true
}
});
ref.flush();
console.assert(ref.getAuth().auth.myAuthProperty, 'authData has custom property');
getEmailUser(email)
-> Object|null
Finds a user previously created with createUser
. If no user was created with the specified email
, null
is returned instead.
