The MockUnitString extends the MockUnit<String> interface.

@FunctionalInterface
public interface MockUnitString extends MockUnit<String>

This means that it "interits" all the methods from MockUnit, but it also adds new functionalities related to String operations.

The easiest way to obtain a MockUnitString implementation is by calling mapToString() on any MockUnit<T>. A lot of the methods are already returning MockUnitString by default.

Methods that are particular to MockUnitString:

Method	Description
append()	Appends to an existing MockUnitString a constant String value and then it returns a new MockUnitString that takes in consideration the previous operation.
array()	The method is used to translate an existing MockUnitString to a new MockUnit<String[]>.
base64()	Transform the generated value by encoding it into base64 and afterwards returns a new MockUnitString.
escapeCsv()	Escapes the previously generated String in order to be .csv compliant. Returns a new MockUnitString
escapeEcmaScript()	Escapes the previously generated String if it contains Ecma Script code. Returns a new MockUnitString
escapeHtml()	Escapes the previously generated String if it contains HTML code. Returns a new MockUnitString
escapeXml()	Escapes the previously generated String if it contains XML code. Returns a new MockUnitString
format()	Formats the previously generated String. Supported formats are defined by the StringFormatType

append()

Example:

Example:

// APPEND
String[] cityAppend = mock.cities()
                            .capitals()
                            .append("-001") // To each generated String we append "-001"
                            .array(10)
                            .val();

// Possible Output: [Bishkek-001, Ulaanbaatar-001, Kigali-001, Bratislava-001, Sarajevo-001, Kabul-001, Lusaka-001, Port Vila-001, Tegucigalpa-001, Astana-001]

array()

Example:

// ARRAY
String[] someDays = mock.days()
                        .display()
                        .array(10)
                        .val();

// Possible Output: [Saturday, Monday, Monday, Sunday, Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Monday, Wednesday]

base64()

Example:

// Generate a list of names
List<String> names = mock
                     .names()
                     .first()
                     .format(CAPITALIZED)
                     .list(5)
                     .val();
// Possible Output: [Carroll, Zane, Alfred, Brent, Loren]

// Using seq() we iterate through the previous list and we encode the strings
List<String> base64names = mock
                            .seq(names)
                            .mapToString()
                            .base64()
                            .list(5)
                            .val();
// Possible Output: [Q2Fycm9sbA==, WmFuZQ==, QWxmcmVk, QnJlbnQ=, TG9yZW4=]

escapeCsv()

Example

String[] notFriendlyCsv = { "\"", /* OTHERS */};

String friendlyCSV = mock.from(notFriendlyCsv)
                         .mapToString()
                         .escapeCsv()
                         .val();
