Action Text FixtureSet

Fixtures are a way of organizing data that you want to test against; in short, sample data.

To learn more about fixtures, read the ActiveRecord::FixtureSet documentation.

YAML

Like other Active Record-backed models, ActionText::RichText records inherit from ActiveRecord::Base instances and can therefore be populated by fixtures.

Consider an Article class:

class Article < ApplicationRecord
  has_rich_text :content
end

To declare fixture data for the related content, first declare fixture data for Article instances in test/fixtures/articles.yml:

first:
  title: An Article

Then declare the ActionText::RichText fixture data in test/fixtures/action_text/rich_texts.yml, making sure to declare each entry’s record: key as a polymorphic relationship:

first:
  record: first (Article)
  name: content
  body: <div>Hello, world.</div>

When processed, Active Record will insert database records for each fixture entry and will ensure the Action Text relationship is intact.

Methods

Class Public methods

attachment(fixture_set_name, label, column_type: :integer)

Fixtures support Action Text attachments as part of their body HTML.

Examples

For example, consider a second Article fixture declared in test/fixtures/articles.yml:

second:
  title: Another Article

You can attach a mention of articles(:first) to second‘s content by embedding a call to ActionText::FixtureSet.attachment in the body: value in test/fixtures/action_text/rich_texts.yml:

second:
  record: second (Article)
  name: content
  body: <div>Hello, <%= ActionText::FixtureSet.attachment("articles", :first) %></div>
# File actiontext/lib/action_text/fixture_set.rb, line 61
def self.attachment(fixture_set_name, label, column_type: :integer)
  signed_global_id = ActiveRecord::FixtureSet.signed_global_id fixture_set_name, label,
    column_type: column_type, for: ActionText::Attachable::LOCATOR_NAME

  %(<action-text-attachment sgid="#{signed_global_id}"></action-text-attachment>)
end
