AngularScienceFacade

Description

Our goal is to implement tests and methods for a two classes:

• ScienceFacade
• SimpleScienceData

In particular, we will move the state shown in image one to the state shown in image two. The MongoScienceData and JsonScienceData objects will be implemented later. For now you can skip them entirely, or sketch them out as simple factories that return an empty object: {}.

Begin with the project found in this zip file.

Step One

Step Two

And here is the second state:

Goals

Your overall goal is to create the set of tests outlined in the TestScienceFacade object shown in the Step Two UML diagram. More specifically, you need to create a set of Jasmine tests that look something like this:

 it('should prove we loaded jasmine', function () {
     // Your test here.
 });

 it('should get a hint', function () {
     // Your test here.
 });

 it('should show that ScienceFacade.hint is equal to the string ScienceFacade', function () {
     // Your test here.
 });

 it('should show that we can call getAll() and get an array', function () {
    // Your test here.
 });

 it('should show that we can call getAll() and get an array with three items', function () {
    // Your test here.
 });

 it('should show that we can call getTopic() and get an array', function () {
    // Your test here.
 });

 it('should show that we can call getSubtopicsFromTopic() and get an array', function () {
    // Your test here.
 });

 it('should show that we can call delete() and get a number', function () {
    // Your test here.
 });

 it('should show that we can call add() and get a number', function () {
    // Your test here.
 });

 it('should show that we can call update() and get a boolean', function () {
    // Your test here.
 });

Your job is to implement these tests, and also make a few small changes to ScienceFacade it actually passes the tests.

One test stands out from the others:

it('should show that we can call getAll() and get an array with three items', function () {
    // Your test here.
 });

To get this test to pass, you need to implement the SimpleScienceData object and link it into your tests. Give it the ability to return a set of records itentical or similar to the records stored in MongoLab scientists collection. Don’t hit the database, just hard code the data into your new object. The ScienceFacade object should reference this new object as a dependency:

angular.module('elvenApp').factory('ScienceFacade', function(SimpleScienceData) {

The ScienceFacade.getAll() method should now return the array of data hardcoded into the SimpleScienceData object.

Hints

function isArray(itemToCheck) {
	return Object.prototype.toString.call(itemToCheck) === '[object Array]';
}

Create SimpleScienceData.js and add this to test/index.html:

<script src="../public/javascripts/SimpleScienceData.js"></script>

Here is the SimpleScienceData.js:

/**
 * Created by charles.calvert on 5/11/2015.
 */

angular.module('elvenApp')
    .factory('SimpleScienceData', function () {
        return {
            getScienceData: function () {
                return [{
                    "_id": {"$oid": "5543bd3be4b000be4aa7b108"},
                    "firstName": "Marie",
                    "lastName": "Curie",
                    "subject": "Radioactivity"
                }, {
                    "_id": {"$oid": "5543cf1de4b0c2a1ea77f3a5"},
                    "firstName": "Albert",
                    "lastName": "Einstein",
                    "subject": "Physics"
                }, {
                    "_id": {"$oid": "5543d02ae4b0c2a1ea77f4ca"},
                    "firstName": "Isaac",
                    "lastName": "Newton",
                    "subject": "Science"
                }];
            }
        }
    });

And here is a test:

 it('should show that we can call getAll() and get an array with three items', function () {
    var result = scienceFacade.getAll();
    expect(result.length).toEqual(3);
 });

Turn it in

When you are done, check in your code in a folder called Week06-TestLive.
