Array of Objects using Factory.get

I’ve the impression that this is yet another use case that it is not supported at the moment. #15 and #14 seems related to this one, but not quite.

Running this define I get a RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded Error …

Factory.define('fakeTeam',Volunteers.Collections.Teams,
  {
    'name': () -> faker.company.companyName()
    'visibility': 'public',
    'leads': () -> [ {'userId': Factory.get('fakeUser'), 'role': 'lead'} ]
    'tags': () -> [faker.lorem.words()],
    'parents':[],
  })

I can’t find a better title to describe this problem …

Looks like what you’re trying to do isn’t supported yet 😔, as you can see by this test: https://github.com/versolearning/meteor-factory/blob/master/factory_tests.js#L337-L346

In the meantime you can just do this:

import { Random } from 'meteor/random';

Factory.define('fakeTeam', Teams, {
  'name': function() { return faker.company.companyName(); },
  'leads': function() { return [{'userId': Random.id(), 'role': 'lead'}]; }
});

The only downside to this would be if you wished to use Factory.tree, though I wouldn’t imagine your intention would be to store the complete user document within the array.

Another solution might be something like :

> getRandomUser = () ->
>   _.sample(Factory.get('fakeUser').collection.find().fetch())

and

'leads': function() { return [{'userId': getRandomUser()._id, 'role': 'lead'}]; }
