@vangware/test v11.0.2

✅ Equality test with enforced readability, based on the concept of RITEway and inspired by uvu.

Usage

📦 Node

Install @vangware/tests as a dev dependency:

pnpm add -D @vangware/test
# or
npm install -D @vangware/test
# or
yarn add --dev @vangware/test

Add a test script to package.json:

{
	"scripts": {
		"test": "test"
	}
}

To support TypeScript, install tsx as a dev dependency:

pnpm add -D tsx
# or
npm install -D tsx
# or
yarn add --dev tsx

And update package.json:

{
	"scripts": {
		"test": "NODE_OPTIONS='--import tsx' test"
	}
}

To add coverage, install c8 as a dev dependency:

pnpm add -D c8
# or
npm install -D c8
# or
yarn add --dev c8

And update package.json:

{
	"scripts": {
		"test": "c8 test"
	}
}

If you added TypeScript support, then update package.json like this instead:

And update package.json:

{
	"scripts": {
		"test": "NODE_OPTIONS='--import tsx' c8 test"
	}
}

Run tests:

pnpm test
# or
npm test
# or
yarn test

🦕 Deno

Import @vangware/test using the npm: prefix, and use it directly:

import { test } from "npm:@vangware/test";
import { add } from "../src/add.js";

test({
	given: "a 1 and a 2",
	must: "return 3",
	received: () => add(2)(1),
	wanted: () => 3,
}).then(console.log);

🌎 Browser

Import @vangware/test using esm.sh, and use it directly:

<script type="module">
	import { test } from "https://esm.sh/@vangware/test";
	import { add } from "../src/add.js";

	test({
		given: "a 1 and a 2",
		must: "return 3",
		received: () => add(2)(1),
		wanted: () => 3,
	}).then(console.log);
</script>

Writing tests

TypeScript

import type { Tests } from "@vangware/test";
import { add } from "../src/add.js";

export default [
	{
		given: "a 1 and a 2",
		must: "return 3",
		received: () => add(2)(1),
		wanted: () => 3,
	},
	{
		given: "a 1 and a -2",
		must: "return -1",
		received: () => add(-2)(1),
		wanted: () => -1,
	},
] satisfies Tests<number>;

JavaScript

import { add } from "../src/add.js";

/** @satisfies {import("@vangware/test").Tests<number>} */
export default [
	{
		given: "a 1 and a 2",
		must: "return 3",
		received: () => add(2)(1),
		wanted: () => 3,
	},
	{
		given: "a 1 and a -2",
		must: "return -1",
		received: () => add(-2)(1),
		wanted: () => -1,
	},
];

Other alternatives

Instead of exporting an Array of Test as default, the export can also be a single Test:

import type { Test } from "@vangware/test";
import { add } from "../src/add.js";

export default {
	given: "a 1 and a 2",
	must: "return 3",
	received: () => add(2)(1),
	wanted: () => 3,
} satisfies Test<number>;

Or multiple exports with different tests:

import type { Test } from "@vangware/test";
import { add } from "../src/add.js";

export const test1: Test<number> = {
	given: "a 1 and a 2",
	must: "return 3",
	received: () => add(2)(1),
	wanted: () => 3,
};

export const test2: Test<number> = {
	given: "a 1 and a -2",
	must: "return -1",
	received: () => add(-2)(1),
	wanted: () => -1,
};

It can also be used directly without the test bin by importing the different utils directly (like with the Deno and Browser examples above):

import { test } from "@vangware/test";
import { customFormatter } from "./customFormatter.js";

test({
	given: "a 1 and a 2",
	must: "return 3",
	received: () => add(2)(1),
	wanted: () => 3,
}).then(customFormatter);

Default output

@vangware/tests provides a default output for the tests. It looks like this:

[TEST] ./tests/example.test.ts
[FAIL] Given a 1 and a 2, must return 3, but...
	└ it has the wrong value. Wanted 3 but received 4.

And if the wanted/received type is more complex, like an object, then the output goes into details about the error:

[TEST] ./tests/example.test.ts
[FAIL] Given an object, must add a single property, but...
	├ foo.bar has the wrong value. Wanted 1 but received 2.
	├ foo.baz.1 is missing.
	└ bar was set with the value "bar".

But developers can choose to run test directly and use their own formatter, as it was pointed out in the previous section.
