Installation

To install js-automation-tools and save it to your package.json just run:

npm install js-automation-tools --save-dev

Generate timestamp or random digits

There ususally is a need to generate random names. Timestamp can be used to generate a unique string of 13+ digits:

const { stamp } = require('js-automation-tools');

const randomDigits = stamp.getTimestamp(); // '1588556993141'
const newTestName = `My new test ${randomDigits}`; // 'My new test 1588556993141'

It will also write generated digits to a global environment variable process.env.TIMESTAMP that can be easily accessed in any place of your tests:

console.log(process.env.TIMESTAMP); // '1588556993141'

To get new timestamp:

const newRandomDigits = stamp.resetTimestamp(); // '1588558255810'

console.log(process.env.TIMESTAMP); // '1588558255810'

Send GET, POST and other requests

Send request to any URL and get response. Function should be called with arguments: method, request URL, headers, body (or just empty strings '' if any argument is not required in your request):

const { createRequest } = require('js-automation-tools');

const responseGet = await createRequest(
    'GET',
    'https://www.google.com/',
    '',
    ''
);

const responsePost = await createRequest(
    'POST',
    'http://httpbin.org/post',
    '{ "Content-Type": "application/json", "Authorization": "Bearer aBcD1234" }',
    '{ "test1": 1, "test2": 2 }'
);

Read directories and get files

Read the array of directories and get the array of files from this directories:

const { readDirectories } = require('js-automation-tools');

const pathToDirectory1 = path.join(__dirname, '/directory1');
const pathToDirectory2 = path.join(__dirname, '../..', '/directory2');

const allFiles = await readDirectories([pathToDirectory1, pathToDirectory2]);
