Emulative

Mock your Typescript types straight from Visual Studio Code.

Features

You can use Emulative to produce Typescript objects, Json objects or builder functions from Typescript types:

Copy Typescript objects

Copy Json objects

Create a scratch file with Typescript objects

Create a builder function

Usage

To use Emulative:

• Select the identifier of the Typescript type you would like to build a mock for then use shortcut Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + P to open the Command Palette
• Type Emulative and the various options for copying the mock type will be presented, select the option you prefer
• No matter the option selected, the mock type will be copied to the clipboard

Extension Settings

You can overwrite certain properties by updating the Prop Overrides setting under Settings > Extensions > Emulative > Prop Overrides

• Enter key value pairs where different key value pairs are delimited by commas “,”
• The key and value are delimited by a colon “:”
• Emulative will override any properties matching the key with the value provided

Known Issues

Type support

Emulative is hugely dependent on the wonderful work from the team who created intermock. Therefore, the types supported by Emulative match those supported by intermock.

Multiple files

Emulative does not currently support types spread across multiple files.

Acknowledgements

Like most software these days, this wouldn't be posssible without all the amazing open source work out there. In particular, this extension relies heavily on the amazing work of the team at intermock

Also, thanks to Easy Agile for giving me the time, space, encouragement and tools to work on this extension. Come work for us!
