This PR adds a new feature: returning/resolving values corresponding to validation and anyXXX matchers instead of specific values. The objective is:
It works like this:
For matchers of anyXXX format, you can pass them in thenReturn/thenResolve, and it will generate a value that would pass this matcher in assertions.
For zod schemas, you can pass them as well in their dedicated matcher (m.validates). To make this works you will need to install two dependencies:
npm install zod @faker-js/faker @anatine/zod-mockzod-mock is a package that will generate a valid value for a given zod schema. It requires faker (hence the second dependency).
These dependencies are peerDependencies of Mockit: this specific feature won't work if you didn't create it.
Thoughs
Honestly I'm not sure if this is really useful, considering the fact that people could just install zod-mock (which they will need to do since I'm not planning on bundling it with Mockit), and could then just call
thenReturn(generateMock(schema)).Todo
