@kevinoid/assert-shim v0.1.0

Node assert Shim

An implementation of the Node.js v15.6.0 assert module for Node.js 10 and later.

Warning: This module is a work-in-progress, on an as-needed basis, which is why I'm publishing it in the @kevinoid namespace. If/When reasonable API coverage is achieved, I'll plan to publish without a namespace and promote it more broadly. See Implemented APIs for progress.

Introductory Example

const assert = require('@kevinoid/assert-shim');
assert.match('Hello World', /hello/i);

This code will work on any Node.js version supported by this module.

Features

• Does not modify assert module.
• Forward-compatible, drop-in replacement for assert module. All properties of assert are exported from assert-shim to make switching between the two easy.
• assert module functions are used when available. (i.e. require('@kevinoid/assert-shim').match === require('assert').match on Node.js versions which provide assert.match (v13.6/v12.16 or later).

Installation

This package can be installed using npm, either globally or locally, by running:

npm install @kevinoid/assert-shim

API Docs

This module provides the same API as assert from Node.js v15.
