Tiny Test Framework

Overview

I built this on a plane because I didn't have internet access to download Jest for my regular TDD flow on the project I was creating. I was so proud of it, I decided to publish it on npm! If you want to add to this framework, please be my guest. Submit a PR and I'll gladly review it.

How To Use This Framework

Installation

Bingo bango bongo - we've seen this one before.

npm install tiny-test-framework

Use

Tests in the tiny test framework are pre-disposed to a BDD-like style of unit testing - they look identical to tests you might find in Jest.

const fakeGuiService = {
  calls: {
    promptForPlayerName: 0,
  },
  promptForPlayerName: () => {
    fakeGuiService.calls.promptForPlayerName += 1
    return 'Player 1'
  },
}

describe('Get Player Name', () => {
  beforeEach(() => {
    // Code here runs before each it statement
  })
  afterEach(() => {
    // Code here runs after each it statement
  })
  it('Returns the players name if it exists', () => {
    const result = getPlayerName({ name: 'Seth' }, fakeGuiService)
    expect(result === 'Seth')
  })

  it('Calls to the Gui If Player Has No Name', () => {
    const result = getPlayerName({}, fakeGuiService)
    expect(fakeGuiService.calls.promptForPlayerName === 1)
  })
})

There's no special commands to run your tests, just node or ts-node the file. Or whatever else fits your fancy.

Setup for Contributing

The project is in TypeScript.

Install Dependencies

Install all the needed code quality tools and typescript.

npm install

That should be it! I recommend enabling run prettier on save in your IDE if that sort of thing strikes your fancy. There are no tests for the testing framework. That seemed a bit too meta for me. But if you want to add tests, be my guest.

Happy hacking!
