io-ts-fuzzer - Fuzzing for io-ts codecs and types

License npm Build Status GitHub last commit codecov Dependabot Status DeepScan grade Code Style: Google npm bundle size semantic-release

io-ts-fuzzer lets you generate examples of a given io-ts type.

Please note: API elements marked @experimental may be changed in breaking ways (including removal) without a major version release. Don't use such APIs if that's not acceptable for you.

Quick Start

After yarn add fp-ts io-ts io-ts-fuzzer...

import * as t from 'io-ts';
import * as fuzz from 'io-ts-fuzzer';

// Fuzzers for common types
const r = fuzz.createCoreRegistry();

// Type to fuzz
const target = t.union([t.string, t.type({ n: t.number, b: t.boolean })]);

// Builds a particular fuzzer from the registry.
const fuzzer = fuzz.exampleGenerator(r, target);

// Make examples. The input number and context
// fully determines the output example.
for (const n of new Array(10).keys()) {
  console.log(JSON.stringify(fuzzer.encode([n, fuzz.fuzzContext()])));
}

See examples/quickstart/index.ts.

Types Supported

Currently supports (along with their closure under composition):

  • t.array
  • t.boolean
  • t.exact
  • t.Int
  • t.intersection
  • t.keyof
  • t.literal
  • t.null
  • t.number
  • t.partial
  • t.readonly
  • t.readonlyArray
  • t.record
  • t.recursive
  • t.string
  • t.tuple
  • t.type (interface)
  • t.undefined
  • t.union
  • t.unknown
  • t.UnknownArray
  • t.UnknownRecord
  • t.void

If you yarn add monocle-ts io-ts-types and register the io-ts-types extra fuzzers via r.register(...await loadIoTsTypesFuzzers()), the following additional types will be supported:

  • date
  • BooleanFromString
  • DateFromISOString
  • DateFromNumber
  • DateFromUnixTime
  • IntFromString
  • NonEmptyString
  • NumberFromString
  • UUID
  • regexp

The following io-ts-types are composed of core types and you do not need to loadIoTsTypesFuzzers to fuzz them:

  • either
  • option

How To

Generate Conforming Examples and Verifying Decoder Behavior

Given a d = t.Decoder<I,A> (aka a t.Type), fuzz.exampleGenerator will build a t.Encoder<[number,FuzzContext],I> that will give example instances of I. The example instances should all pass on d.decode (which should return an identical example in the case of basic types). No exceptions should be thrown.

Configure Core Fuzzers

The FluentRegistry interface lets you easily configure certain core fuzzers, currently:

  • maximum array length (array, readonlyArray, UnknownArray)
  • extra properties inserted into partial and type (interface) objects
  • type used to fuzz unknown types
  • maximum record count (record, UnknownRecord)

Fuzz Recursive Types

When fuzzing recursive types, you can provide to the context a maxRecursionHint which specifies the requested maximum instantiations of any recursive type in a single path. Note that this is the maximum depth of recursive types, not all types. If the recursive depth has been reached, fuzzers that have a choice of which child(ren) to instantiate (like unions, partials, or arrays) will attempt to choose children that won't recurse.

Note this is only a hint -- sometimes the type definition won't allow the fuzzer to choose such a non-recursive path (and you'll get a stack limit error when attempting to generate the actual example from the generator).
