but i dont remember exactly the problem and if david solved it. Maybe @justinbmeyer knows some more info...

@justinbmeyer

@pYr0x the make model year example does this

if you use the any-to-string converter

Guys, we are working on JWT Authentication (actually any token auth):
And have some issue with modiying how url behavior makes call.

We would like to have something like this:

Entity.connection = connect(
    [url, JWTAuth, constructor, constructorStore, canMap, realTime, callbacksOnce], {
        url: '/secured/entity',
        Map: Entity,
        List: Entity.List,
        algebra
    }
);

The idea is that ajax call that makes url here:
https://github.com/canjs/can-connect/blob/master/data/url/url.js#L370

Should have tokens as request headers.

The problem is that there is no way how we can pre-configure ajax settings in URL behavior. In order to have beforeSend section with doing some Auth logic there.

The only option that we found is rewrite ajax function

Entity.connection = connect(
    [url, JWTAuth, constructor, constructorStore, canMap, realTime, callbacksOnce], {
        url: '/secured/entity',
        ajax: authenticatedAjax,
        Map: Entity,
        List: Entity.List,
        algebra
    }
);

But in this case we can move all logic to authenticatedAJAX and don't use JWTAuth.

How this best to organize ?

@eben-roux

anyone around to give advice setting up tests that use canjs components?

Kevin Phillips

@phillipskevin

sure

Eben

@eben-roux

so I'm looking at mocha and I used that basic example test

I'm assuming that all the testing runs in node so the module format has to be node compliant

how would I go about testing a module that uses es6 import for instance?

e.g.: import DefineMap from 'can-define/map/';

Kevin Phillips

@phillipskevin

well... you could use babel

Eben

@eben-roux

I know this isn't exactly canjs specific so if you have a good resource I can take a look at that would also be fine... last serious JS testing I did was with JSTestDriver / QUnit about 2 years ago

Kevin Phillips

@phillipskevin

and use mocha's --compilers option

what module loader are you using to load these things in your app?

Eben

@eben-roux

was thinking that there would be some transpiling... is steal-mocha specific to testing in a browser using a page?

Kevin Phillips

@phillipskevin

yeah

Eben

@eben-roux

I use steal when developing the apps

Kevin Phillips

@phillipskevin

you can use https://github.com/bitovi/testee

that's what we use most of the time

and just test in a browser

Eben

@eben-roux

ah... was wondering what that is

I had a look at the canjs tests and did notice that

Kevin Phillips

@phillipskevin

you'd just set it up like https://github.com/bitovi/testee/tree/master/examples/mocha

Eben

@eben-roux

something you guys rolled yourself also?

Kevin Phillips

@phillipskevin

yeah

Eben

@eben-roux

does it handle async/promise testing also?

Kevin Phillips

@phillipskevin

yeah

Eben

@eben-roux

ok, excellent

Kevin Phillips

@phillipskevin

if you don't want to test in a browser, you can use https://mochajs.org/#about-babel

Eben

@eben-roux

I'm going to have a serious look, thanks

Kevin Phillips

@phillipskevin

but testing in a browser when you're writing components usually makes sense

Eben

@eben-roux

I'd prefer testing from node but not sure how feasible that is nowadays

Kevin Phillips

@phillipskevin

you can use headless chrome

Eben

@eben-roux

agreed, but I'm actually writing some infrastructure components that don't have any UI elements

I'm going to give it a shot... will ask when I get stuck, thanks :) --- should get cracking on this tomorrow

cheers

Kevin Phillips

@phillipskevin

https://donejs.com/place-my-order.html#creating-a-unit-tested-view-model talks about testing

it's using qunit, but there's not much of a difference

and you can use https://github.com/donejs/donejs-mocha if you're using donejs

Eben

@eben-roux

great stuff, thanks again --- haven't looked at the donejs site for ages

Kevin Phillips

@phillipskevin

no problem

last plug, give canjs/canjs#3862 a :thumbsup: if you're interested in a testing-specific guide

Maybe there is way to expose params to connect configuration ?
https://github.com/canjs/can-connect/blob/master/data/url/url.js#L373

In this case we can configure what ajax params URLBehavior will use. So the idea that we will be able to do something like...

Entity.connection = connect(
    [url, constructor, constructorStore, canMap, realTime, callbacksOnce], {
        url: '/secured/entity',
        ajaxConf: {
                // configuration params  like beforeSend etc..
                // that will allow us do some additional logic if required
        },
        Map: Entity,
        List: Entity.List,
        algebra
    }
);

@AntonProkofyev

Hi folks, i'm using url behavior and find interesting code there
https://github.com/canjs/can-connect/blob/master/data/url/url.js#L363

why the decision to modify object which we try to send to the server was made

why not just copy without removing

AntonProkofyev

@AntonProkofyev

why it's not configurable at least

Justin Meyer

@justinbmeyer

@Lighttree you could probably build some hooks like that yourself, but they aren't built in now

@AntonProkofyev it's modifying the object where?
