@push.rocks/smartexpect

manage expectations in code

Install

To install @push.rocks/smartexpect, use the following command in your terminal:

npm install @push.rocks/smartexpect --save

This will add @push.rocks/smartexpect to your project's dependencies. Make sure you're inside your project directory before running this command.

Usage

@push.rocks/smartexpect is a TypeScript library designed to manage expectations in your code effectively, improving testing readability and maintainability. Below are various scenarios showcasing how to use this library effectively across both synchronous and asynchronous code paths.

Getting Started

First, import @push.rocks/smartexpect into your TypeScript file:

import { expect, expectAsync } from '@push.rocks/smartexpect';

Synchronous Expectations

You can employ expect to create synchronous assertions:

import { expect } from '@push.rocks/smartexpect';

// String type assertion
expect('hello').toBeTypeofString();

// Negated String type assertion
expect(1).not.toBeTypeofString();

// Boolean type assertion
expect(true).toBeTypeofBoolean();

// Equality assertion
expect('hithere').toEqual('hithere');

// Deep equality assertion
expect({ key: 'value' }).toEqual({ key: 'value' });

// Regular expression matching
expect('hithere').toMatch(/hi/);

Asynchronous Expectations

For asynchronous operations, use expectAsync to return a promise:

import { expectAsync } from '@push.rocks/smartexpect';

const asyncStringFetcher = async (): Promise<string> => {
  return 'async string';
};

const asyncTest = async () => {
  await expectAsync(asyncStringFetcher()).toBeTypeofString();
  await expectAsync(asyncStringFetcher()).toEqual('async string');
};

asyncTest();

Advanced Usage

  • Properties and Deep Properties: Assert the existence of properties and their values.

    const testObject = { level1: { level2: 'value' } };
    
    // Property existence
    expect(testObject).toHaveProperty('level1');
    
    // Deep Property existence
    expect(testObject).toHaveDeepProperty(['level1', 'level2']);
    
  • Conditions and Comparisons: Allow more intricate assertions like greater than, less than, or matching specific conditions.

    // Greater Than
    expect(5).toBeGreaterThan(3);
    
    // Less Than
    expect(3).toBeLessThan(5);
    
    // Custom conditions
    expect(7).customAssertion(value => value > 5, 'Value is not greater than 5');
    
  • Arrays and Objects: Work seamlessly with arrays and objects, checking for containment, length, or specific values.

    const testArray = [1, 2, 3];
    
    // Containment
    expect(testArray).toContain(2);
    
    // Array length
    expect(testArray).toHaveLength(3);
    
    // Object matching
    expect({ name: 'Test', value: 123 }).toMatchObject({ name: 'Test' });
    

Handling Promises and Async Operations

@push.rocks/smartexpect gracefully integrates with asynchronous operations, providing a expectAsync function that handles promise-based assertions. This keeps your tests clean and readable, irrespective of the nature of the code being tested.

Best Practices

  • Readability: Favor clarity and readability by explicitly stating your expectations. @push.rocks/smartexpect's API is designed to be fluent and expressive, making your tests easy to write and, more importantly, easy to read.

  • Comprehensive Coverage: Utilize the full spectrum of assertions provided to cover a broad set of use cases, ensuring your code behaves as expected not just in ideal conditions but across various edge cases.

  • Maintainability: Group related assertions together to improve test maintainability. This makes it easier to update tests as your codebase evolves.

Through judicious use of @push.rocks/smartexpect, you can enhance the reliability and maintainability of your test suite, making your codebase more robust and your development workflow more efficient.
