Utility X Turn-On

From this chapter our tutorial will focus on the tool box that zero system provided, we call it Utility X, and in your code the class name is io.vertx.up.unity.Ux. The package name word aiki is Hausa language and it means “Work”, this class will help the developers to process some duplicated works those are not related to business workflow. Here are three core parts in Utility X:

From this chapter we’ll study Ux first because almost all the business codes will cover Ux style codes because it’s more smartly and helpful. Now we’ll move project to vertx-up and write some example codes in Unit Test Cases instead of major codes, but for some request flow codes we’ll move to up-thea, it’s under vertx-zeus project. You can know the rules for following tutorial:

  1. All the test cases should belong to vertx-up;
  2. Other testing codes of Utility X usage should belong to up-theainclude some zero codes, this kind of codes require Postman tool that you used in previous tutorials.

1. Uson

Hello world and hello utility x, this is code segments for some usage and you can ignore it first, we’ll introduce all the utility x tool apis to be sure every developer could do less works in zero system.

First create the input source up.god.file d10046.json in your testing resource folder src/test/resources/test/io.vertx.up.unity.

{
    "username": "lang.yu",
    "password": "111111",
    "email": "silentbalanceyh@126.com"
}

Then create test case D10046FirstTcin your junit folders, in zero system all the test cases must contain valid suffix. Tc: means test case, Te: means test exception, you can configure your own name for testing cases but we still recommend to use Tc/Te as testing case name suffix.

package io.vertx.up.unity;

import io.vertx.core.json.JsonObject;
import io.vertx.quiz.TestBase;
import org.junit.Assert;
import org.junit.Test;

public class D10046FirstTc extends TestBase {
    @Test
    public void testInput() {
        final JsonObject input = this.getJson("d10046.json");
        // Uson usage
        final JsonObject ret = Uson.create(input)
                .convert("password", "updated").to();
        System.err.println(ret.encodePrettily());
        Assert.assertEquals("111111", ret.getString("updated"));
    }
}

This test case is very simple, here are some points that we need to refer:

  1. When you extends from TestBase, you can call the method getJson/getArray to read the resource files, this files must be put in src/test/resources/test/<package-name> folder, these two methods are for JsonObject/JsonArray reading, please check your data format first.
  2. We created a Uson object and then called convert api, finally we convert Uson back to JsonObject by to() method.

If you run this test case you should see following output, the field password has been converted to updated:

{
  "username" : "lang.yu",
  "email" : "silentbalanceyh@126.com",
  "updated" : "111111"
}

2. Uarr

Create new input up.god.file named d10046-arr.json, put into the same folder in chapter 1.

[
    {
        "username": "lang.yu",
        "password": "111111",
        "email": "silentbalanceyh@126.com"
    },
    {
        "username": "lang.yu2",
        "password": "222222",
        "email": "silentbalanceyh@126.com"
    }
]

Then add new test method in D10046FirstTc class:

    @Test
    public void testInputArr() {
        final JsonArray input = this.getArray("d10046-arr.json");
        // Uson usage
        final JsonArray ret = Uarr.create(input)
                .convert("password", "updated").to();
        System.err.println(ret.encodePrettily());
        Assert.assertEquals("111111", ret.getJsonObject(0).getString("updated"));
        Assert.assertEquals("222222", ret.getJsonObject(1).getString("updated"));
    }

Then you should see another message in your console as following:

[ {
  "username" : "lang.yu",
  "email" : "silentbalanceyh@126.com",
  "updated" : "111111"
}, {
  "username" : "lang.yu2",
  "email" : "silentbalanceyh@126.com",
  "updated" : "222222"
} ]

3. Ux

The last examples should be Ux usage, it’s not needed to create new files, we’ll re-use d10046.json up.god.file:

    @Test
    public void testUx() {
        final JsonObject input = this.getJson("d10046.json");
        final Envelop envelop = Ux.to(input);
        Assert.assertNotNull(envelop.data());
        System.err.println(envelop.data(JsonObject.class));
    }

Here you could see the response in console:

{"username":"lang.yu","password":"111111","mobile":"15922611447","email":"silentbalanceyh@126.com"}

4. Summary

The last example we’ll convert the JsonObject to an Envelop object, why ? In zero system, envelop is uniform resource model and it could be used in many places such as:
