Import Node Modules

This feature is available in the paid version.

Now you can import any external Node module.
The Node module will be automatically downloaded and installed from the npm registry.
e.g. var moment = await tc.loadModule("moment");


console.log("load node module");
 
var moment = await tc.loadModule("moment");
 
// use moment specific version
var moment = await tc.loadModule("moment", "2.30.0");
 
console.log(moment().format());
tc.setVar("date", moment().format());

Load Module from Path

Load a module from the specified folder path.
This functionality is useful for loading private modules or modules hosted on registries other than npm.
The module path can be relative to the project root or an absolute path.


console.log("load local module");
 
var moment = tc.loadFromPath("thunder-tests/packages/node_modules/moment");

Generate Fake Data

You can use Node libraries like faker-js or lightweight libraries like chance and falso to generate random data.
Use Pre Run tab -> Scripting tab to generate fake data using code.
Example custom script:


    // example code to load faker-js module
    var { faker } = await tc.loadModule("@faker-js/faker");
    tc.setVar("firstName", faker.person.firstName());
 
    // example code to load chance module
    var Chance = await tc.loadModule("chance");
    var chance = new Chance();
    tc.setVar("firstName", chance.name());
 
    // example code to load falso module
    var falso = await tc.loadModule("@ngneat/falso");
    var user = falso.randUser();
    tc.setVar("firstName", user.firstName);

NOTE


 // to save Env value to Active Environment
 tc.setVar("firstName", faker.person.firstName());
 
// If you do not want to save to the Environment file
// then use the request scope
 tc.setVar("firstName", faker.person.firstName(), "request");
