Category Entity

This Python module implements a Category class representing a category with a name, description, and an activation status.

Business Rule

• A category must have a name.
• The name of the category must have less than 256 characters.
• When a category is created, it must be assigned a UUID as its identifier.
• A category is created with default values if no additional values are provided.
• The default value for the is_active attribute is True.
• The string representation of a category follows the format: <name> - <description> (<is_active>). The representation of a category (__repr__ method) follows the format: <Category <name> <id>>.

Test Cases

The following test cases are implemented to ensure the correctness of the Category class:

• Test Name is Required

  • Description: Ensure that an error is raised when trying to create a category without providing a name.
  • Expected Result: TypeError with message "missing 1 required positional argument: 'name'".

• Test Name Length Limit

  • Description: Ensure that an error is raised when the name provided for a category exceeds 255 characters.
  • Expected Result: ValueError with message "name must have less than 256 characters".

• Test Category Creation with UUID

  • Description: Ensure that a category is created with a UUID as its identifier.
  • Expected Result: The id attribute of the created category is of type UUID.

• Test Default Category Creation

  • Description: Ensure that a category is created with default values when no additional values are provided.
  • Expected Result: The category has an empty description and is active.

• Test Category Creation with Provided Values

  • Description: Ensure that a category is created with the provided values.
  • Expected Result: The category has the provided attributes.

• Test String Representation

  • Description: Ensure that the string representation of a category is correct.
  • Expected Result: The string representation matches the expected format.

• Test Representation Method (repr)

  • Description: Ensure that the representation method returns the correct string.
  • Expected Result: The representation string matches the expected format.
