Support for nested suites about vest

[codrin-iftimie]

Seems that the following is producing the right result

const itemSuite = create("itemSuite", (item, path) => {
  test(`${path}.name`, "Name is required", () => {
    enforce(item.name).isNotEmpty();
  });
});

const mainSuite = create("mainSuite", (data, field) => {
  only(field);

  test("a", "A != B", () => {
    enforce(data.a).equals(data.b);
  });

  itemSuite(data.innerItem, "innerItem");

  each(data.items, (item) => {
    itemSuite(item, `items.${item.guid}`);
  });
});

const result = mainSuite(
  {
    a: "a",
    b: "b",
    items: [
      { name: "", guid: 1 },
      { name: "", guid: 2 },
      { name: "test", guid: 3 },
    ],
    innerItem: {
      name: "",
    },
  },
  ["items.1.name", "innerItem.name"]
); // result.errorCount = 2

Would you advise devs to use this library this way?

Hey @codrin-iftimie, sorry for responding late. I have been traveling.

Yes, your approach should work as expected, and most operations should work correctly when nesting suites this way.

only, omitWhen, and skipWhen, include should work with no problem. Querying and outputting these results should work as well.

By the way, this will work just the same if you simply use a function for your nested suite, and do not create an entire suite for that. Meaning, simply the callback of your sub suite is sufficient for this. It will be a little easier on performance.

In the future, I might add a few more features around the approach that you selected (creating two suites), but for now, these two approaches are identical in terms of functionality.
