Show HN: Factory-JS – TypeScript dummy object generator for testing
I made Factory-js inspired by factory-bot (https://github.com/thoughtbot/factory_bot), supports Prisma and Drizzle ORM and more. TypeScript is now widely used in both backend and frontend, but there is no de facto standard factory library. I'm developing a web application using Prisma, trpc, and nextjs, but I was struggling with how to write more beautiful and readable back-end tests. That's why I made factory-js.

Seeding the DB: Best approach?
Not sure if you want the execution speed to be faster, or the development speed. If it's development, you can use FactoryBot in a script to generate data easily once you have your factories set up.

How could I prevent resetting the database during the test?
For instance, thoughtbot/factory_bot.

You can’t bribe, threaten, or feed people to get them back in the office
> if you're a bunch of tool makers and you all know your audience of tool users then there's no benefit at all to have someone offended by the word "tool" in your workforce.
It kinda reminds me of the factorygirl -> factorybot [0] story. It was a cute enough name for a technical tool that plays nice among bros, and down the line you end up renaming your package and deal with the drama.
On brand image, I get your point. I think the corporations doing it best tend to juggle with multiple brands and segment their market accordingly. Then yes, an homogeneous, single focus brand will be more valuable, as it also help to push people outside of the target to your other brands.

rspec testing on Windows.
Not sure I follow why this question is related to an OS like Windows, but when it comes to RSpec testing with different users, I would use Factory Bot and define a User Factory and add Traits such as Admin & Non Admin and use them in specs with their pre-defined attributes to what they can access based on your User Model and call them within the specs.

How to optimize factory creation.
The factory-bot gem is used in almost in all of our spec files and it make our set up much more easier than when we use fixtures. Here is the tradeoff, the easier the gem is to use, the more likely you’ll end up with some pain to control its usage. And when the times come to tackle slow tests, the best bet you can take is to start digging into you factories because it’s likely they are the primary reason why your test suite is slowing down

Efate Test Generator Series: Extending the library
Efate is actually the second test fixture library I've written and there were several lessons I learned after using the first iteration for several years myself. The first version was influenced a great deal by factor_girl (called factory_bot now), with a heavy dependency on strings to define and create the fixtures. It also wasn't very modular. You couldn't just import a specific fixture, you had to bring in the whole library. And it wasn't very extensible, if you needed to define custom behavior for how a field should be created, it wasn't very pretty.

Gnarly Learnings From June 2022
As we continue to level-up our skillsets as developers in Rails, the utility of POROs (Plain Old Ruby Objects) becomes more apparent and appealing. Sometimes, the business object(s) you create do not require persistent storage to a database and are, therefore, outside of the scope of an ORM (Object Relational Mapper) like ActiveRecord. But how do we maintain simplicity in our test suite and continue to leverage helpful testing libraries like FactoryBot without one? This instructional article explores how to implement factories for POROs including common pitfalls, building nested resources, and factory linting.

JavaScript News and Updates of January 2022
Early this month, the malicious attack on free-to-use libraries, namely color.js and faker.js, created a real uproar in the development community. These tools are used in thousands of projects and their downloading rate from npm is estimated in millions per week. To everyone’s surprise, it turned out to be an inside job. Marak Squires, the creator of these libraries, intentionally committed malicious code to his projects and published updated codebases on GitHub and npm. It is said that this sabotage was caused by unsuccessful attempts of Mr. Squires to monetize his projects. Fortunately, malicious packages were quickly removed and the attacker’s account was suspended. The story sparked a new wave of discussion in the development community on possible steps to make the development and maintenance of open-source projects more sustainable.

Is there something wrong with OpenSource model?
So people, I've been reading the news regarding some great packages on GitHub, like the Colors and the Faker. I understand that this isn't related entirely with the linux community, but it is something that we should pay attention.

Re: the faker.js debacle: A daily reminder that htmx & hyperscript are dependency free
A developer appears to have purposefully corrupted a pair of open-source libraries on GitHub and software registry npm — “faker.js” and “colors.js” — that thousands of users depend on, rendering any project that contains these libraries useless, as reported by Bleeping Computer.

Open source developer corrupts widely-used libraries, affecting tons of projects
I mean he also maliciously changed all of the links on a faker.js issue to point to conspiracy theories (which I am pretty sure is against Github's TOS): https://github.com/Marak/faker.js/pull/2

The EndGame - Fakerjs
About Four (4) Days Ago, the Author of Fakerjs a popular JavaScript library with more than 2 million weekly Download from NPM Deleted the repository and replaced it with one that only has the modified ReadMe "What really happened with Aaron Swartz?" and no content, and pushed an empty package to npm as the latest version (6.6.6).
- Marak, creator of faker.js who recently deleted the project due to lack of funding and abuse of open source projects/developers pushed some strange Anti American update which has an infinite loop
- Marak adds infinite loop test to popular colors.js
