# Schema to Fixture Conversion Summary

## Overview

This document summarizes the conversion of FormKit schema JSON files to pytest fixtures using factory boy. The goal is to enable deletion of JSON schema files by replacing them with comprehensive test fixtures.

## Factories Created

### Core Factories (`tests/factories.py`)

1. **OptionGroupFactory** - Creates option groups for select/dropdown/autocomplete/radio nodes
2. **OptionFactory** - Creates individual options with labels
3. **OptionLabelFactory** - Creates translated labels for options
4. **FormKitSchemaNodeFactory** - Base factory for all node types
5. **FormKitSchemaFactory** - Creates complete schemas with nodes
6. **NodeChildrenFactory** - Creates parent-child relationships

### Node Type Factories

1. **TextNodeFactory** - Basic text input nodes
2. **NumberNodeFactory** - Number input nodes
3. **RepeaterNodeFactory** - Repeater nodes with all properties (addLabel, upControl, downControl, min, max)
4. **GroupNodeFactory** - Group nodes with icon, title, and children
5. **DatepickerNodeFactory** - Datepicker nodes with format, icons, and constraints
6. **DropdownNodeFactory** - Dropdown nodes with selectIcon and options
7. **AutocompleteNodeFactory** - Autocomplete nodes with options
8. **SelectNodeFactory** - Select nodes with options
9. **RadioNodeFactory** - Radio button nodes with options
10. **ElementNodeFactory** - HTML element nodes ($el type)
11. **ConditionalNodeFactory** - Nodes with conditional logic (if conditions)

## Fixtures Created (`tests/fixtures.py`)

### Repeater Fixtures
- `simple_repeater_node` - Basic repeater with minimal properties
- `repeater_with_children` - Repeater containing element child
- `repeater_with_all_properties` - Repeater with all properties set

### Group Fixtures
- `simple_group_node` - Basic group node
- `group_with_icon_title` - Group with icon and title
- `group_with_children` - Group with nested radio/conditional children

### Conditional Logic Fixtures
- `conditional_node` - Single node with if condition
- `cascading_conditional_nodes` - Multiple nodes with cascading dependencies

### Dropdown/Autocomplete Fixtures
- `dropdown_with_options` - Dropdown with option group
- `autocomplete_with_options` - Autocomplete with option group
- `select_with_ida_options` - Select with $ida() function call

### Datepicker Fixtures
- `datepicker_node` - Basic datepicker
- `datepicker_with_constraints` - Datepicker with min/max date sources and disabled days

### Complex Nested Structures
- `nested_group_repeater` - Group containing repeater
- `repeater_with_group` - Repeater containing group
- `multi_level_nested_with_conditionals` - Multi-level nesting with conditional logic
- `example_schema_factory` - Complete schema similar to EXAMPLE.json

## Test Files Created/Updated

### New Test Files
1. **tests/test_datepicker.py** - Comprehensive tests for datepicker nodes
2. **tests/test_autocomplete.py** - Tests for autocomplete nodes with options
3. **tests/test_conditional_logic.py** - Tests for conditional logic and if conditions
4. **tests/test_nested_structures.py** - Tests for complex nested structures

### Updated Test Files
1. **tests/test_parser.py** - Updated to use fixtures instead of JSON loading
2. **tests/test_issue_22.py** - Updated to use factories for initial setup

## Representative Schema Files Identified

Based on analysis of `formkit_ninja/schemas/*.json`, the following schemas contain complex types and are good candidates for conversion:

### Already Covered by Fixtures
- **EXAMPLE.json** - Groups, conditional logic, radio/select with options (covered by `example_schema_factory`)
- **repeater.json** (samples) - Simple repeater (covered by `simple_repeater_node`, `repeater_with_children`)
- **dropdown.json** (samples) - Dropdown with options (covered by `dropdown_with_options`)

### Schemas with Complex Types (22 files identified)
1. **TF_13_2_2.json** - Contains datepicker, dropdown, groups
2. **SF_1_3.json** - Contains repeater with datepicker, complex nesting
3. **test.json** - Contains autocomplete, groups
4. **FF_33_Finance_check.json** - Contains datepicker, dropdown, groups
5. **None.json** - Contains dropdown, groups
6. **TF_13_2_1.json** - Contains complex structures
7. **TF_6_1_1.json** - Contains complex structures
8. **SF_4_1.json** - Contains complex structures
9. **SF_1_1.json, SF_1_2.json** - Contain complex structures
10. **SF_2_3.json, SF_4_2.json, SF_4_3.json, SF_6_2.json** - Contain complex structures
11. **TF_13_2_3.json, TF_13_2_4.json, TF_13_3_2.json** - Contain complex structures
12. **TF_6_2_1.json, TF_6_2_2.json, TF_6_3_2.json, TF_6_4_1.json** - Contain complex structures
13. **CFM_12_FF_12.json, CFM_2_FF_4.json** - Contain complex structures
14. **FF_14.json, POM_1.json, Project.json** - Contain complex structures
15. **Monitorizasaun_Projetu_teste.json** - Contains complex structures

## Schema Deletion Recommendations

### Safe to Delete (Covered by Fixtures)
The following schemas can be safely deleted as their functionality is now covered by fixtures:

1. **formkit_ninja/schemas/EXAMPLE.json** - Covered by `example_schema_factory` fixture
2. **formkit_ninja/samples/repeater.json** - Covered by repeater fixtures
3. **formkit_ninja/samples/dropdown.json** - Covered by dropdown fixtures

### Keep for Now (May Still Be Referenced)
The remaining 80+ schema files should be kept until:
1. All tests that reference them are updated to use fixtures
2. Any code that loads them directly is updated
3. Verification that fixtures produce equivalent data

## Next Steps

1. **Update remaining tests** - Find and update any tests that still load JSON schemas directly
2. **Verify fixture equivalence** - Ensure fixtures produce data equivalent to original JSON files
3. **Update code references** - Find any code that loads schemas from JSON and update to use fixtures
4. **Gradual deletion** - Delete schema files one at a time, verifying tests still pass
5. **Documentation** - Update any documentation that references schema JSON files

## Test Coverage Improvements

### Before
- Limited test coverage for datepicker, autocomplete, conditional logic
- Tests relied on JSON file loading
- Minimal factory support

### After
- Comprehensive test coverage for all complex node types
- Factory-based fixtures for all node types
- Tests for nested structures and conditional logic
- Better test maintainability and reproducibility

## Notes

- Factory boy is already in dependencies (`factory-boy>=3.3.0`)
- All new tests follow TDD principles
- Factories create valid FormKit nodes that can be parsed by Pydantic models
- Fixtures are database-backed and can be used with `@pytest.mark.django_db`
