Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Assertions


cdk-constructs: Experimental

The APIs of higher level constructs in this module are experimental and under active development. They are subject to non-backward compatible changes or removal in any future version. These are not subject to the Semantic Versioning model and breaking changes will be announced in the release notes. This means that while you may use them, you may need to update your source code when upgrading to a newer version of this package.


Functions for writing test asserting against CDK applications, with focus on CloudFormation templates.

The Template class includes a set of methods for writing assertions against CloudFormation templates. Use one of the Template.fromXxx() static methods to create an instance of this class.

To create Template from CDK stack, start off with:

import { Stack } from '@aws-cdk/core';
import { Template } from '@aws-cdk/assertions';

const stack = new Stack(/* ... */);
// ...
const template = Template.fromStack(stack);

Alternatively, assertions can be run on an existing CloudFormation template -

const templateJson = '{ "Resources": ... }'; /* The CloudFormation template as JSON serialized string. */
const template = Template.fromString(templateJson);

Full Template Match

The simplest assertion would be to assert that the template matches a given template.

const expected = {
  Resources: {
    Type: 'Foo::Bar',
    Properties: {
      Baz: 'Qux',
    },
  },
};

template.templateMatches(expected);

By default, the templateMatches() API will use the an 'object-like' comparison, which means that it will allow for the actual template to be a superset of the given expectation. See Special Matchers for details on how to change this.

Snapshot testing is a common technique to store a snapshot of the output and compare it during future changes. Since CloudFormation templates are human readable, they are a good target for åßsnapshot testing.

The toJSON() method on the Template can be used to produce a well formatted JSON of the CloudFormation template that can be used as a snapshot.

See Snapshot Testing in Jest and Snapshot Testing in Java.

Counting Resources

This module allows asserting the number of resources of a specific type found in a template.

template.resourceCountIs('Foo::Bar', 2);

Resource Matching & Retrieval

Beyond resource counting, the module also allows asserting that a resource with specific properties are present.

The following code asserts that the Properties section of a resource of type Foo::Bar contains the specified properties -

const expected = {
  Foo: 'Bar',
  Baz: 5,
  Qux: [ 'Waldo', 'Fred' ],
};
template.hasResourceProperties('Foo::Bar', expected);

Alternatively, if you would like to assert the entire resource definition, you can use the hasResource() API.

const expected = {
  Properties: { Foo: 'Bar' },
  DependsOn: [ 'Waldo', 'Fred' ],
};
template.hasResource('Foo::Bar', expected);

Beyond assertions, the module provides APIs to retrieve matching resources. The findResources() API is complementary to the hasResource() API, except, instead of asserting its presence, it returns the set of matching resources.

By default, the hasResource() and hasResourceProperties() APIs perform deep partial object matching. This behavior can be configured using matchers. See subsequent section on special matchers.

Output and Mapping sections

The module allows you to assert that the CloudFormation template contains an Output that matches specific properties. The following code asserts that a template contains an Output with a logicalId of Foo and the specified properties -

const expected = { 
  Value: 'Bar',
  Export: { Name: 'ExportBaz' }, 
};
template.hasOutput('Foo', expected);

If you want to match against all Outputs in the template, use * as the logicalId.

const expected = {
  Value: 'Bar',
  Export: { Name: 'ExportBaz' },
};
template.hasOutput('*', expected);

findOutputs() will return a set of outputs that match the logicalId and props, and you can use the '*' special case as well.

const expected = {
  Value: 'Fred',
};
const result = template.findOutputs('*', expected);
expect(result.Foo).toEqual({ Value: 'Fred', Description: 'FooFred' });
expect(result.Bar).toEqual({ Value: 'Fred', Description: 'BarFred' });

The APIs hasMapping() and findMappings() provide similar functionalities.

Special Matchers

The expectation provided to the hasXxx(), findXxx() and templateMatches() APIs, besides carrying literal values, as seen in the above examples, also accept special matchers.

They are available as part of the Match class.

Object Matchers

The Match.objectLike() API can be used to assert that the target is a superset object of the provided pattern. This API will perform a deep partial match on the target. Deep partial matching is where objects are matched partially recursively. At each level, the list of keys in the target is a subset of the provided pattern.

// Given a template -
// {
//   "Resources": {
//     "MyBar": {
//       "Type": "Foo::Bar",
//       "Properties": {
//         "Fred": {
//           "Wobble": "Flob",
//           "Bob": "Cat"
//         }
//       }
//     }
//   }
// }

// The following will NOT throw an assertion error
const expected = {
  Fred: Match.objectLike({
    Wobble: 'Flob',
  }),
};
template.hasResourceProperties('Foo::Bar', expected);

// The following will throw an assertion error
const unexpected = {
  Fred: Match.objectLike({
    Brew: 'Coffee',
  }),
}
template.hasResourceProperties('Foo::Bar', unexpected);

The Match.objectEquals() API can be used to assert a target as a deep exact match.

Presence and Absence

The Match.absent() matcher can be used to specify that a specific value should not exist on the target. This can be used within Match.objectLike() or outside of any matchers.

// Given a template -
// {
//   "Resources": {
//     "MyBar": {
//       "Type": "Foo::Bar",
//       "Properties": {
//         "Fred": {
//           "Wobble": "Flob",
//         }
//       }
//     }
//   }
// }

// The following will NOT throw an assertion error
const expected = {
  Fred: Match.objectLike({
    Bob: Match.absent(),
  }),
};
template.hasResourceProperties('Foo::Bar', expected);

// The following will throw an assertion error
const unexpected = {
  Fred: Match.objectLike({
    Wobble: Match.absent(),
  }),
};
template.hasResourceProperties('Foo::Bar', unexpected);

The Match.anyValue() matcher can be used to specify that a specific value should be found at the location. This matcher will fail if when the target location has null-ish values (i.e., null or undefined).

This matcher can be combined with any of the other matchers.

// Given a template -
// {
//   "Resources": {
//     "MyBar": {
//       "Type": "Foo::Bar",
//       "Properties": {
//         "Fred": {
//           "Wobble": ["Flob", "Flib"],
//         }
//       }
//     }
//   }
// }

// The following will NOT throw an assertion error
const expected = {
  Fred: {
    Wobble: [Match.anyValue(), "Flip"],
  },
};
template.hasResourceProperties('Foo::Bar', expected);

// The following will throw an assertion error
const unexpected = {
  Fred: {
    Wimble: Match.anyValue(),
  },
};
template.hasResourceProperties('Foo::Bar', unexpected);

Array Matchers

The Match.arrayWith() API can be used to assert that the target is equal to or a subset of the provided pattern array. This API will perform subset match on the target.

// Given a template -
// {
//   "Resources": {
//     "MyBar": {
//       "Type": "Foo::Bar",
//       "Properties": {
//         "Fred": ["Flob", "Cat"]
//       }
//     }
//   }
// }

// The following will NOT throw an assertion error
const expected = {
  Fred: Match.arrayWith(['Flob']),
};
template.hasResourceProperties('Foo::Bar', expected);

// The following will throw an assertion error
const unexpected = Match.objectLike({
  Fred: Match.arrayWith(['Wobble']),
});
template.hasResourceProperties('Foo::Bar', unexpected);

Note: The list of items in the pattern array should be in order as they appear in the target array. Out of order will be recorded as a match failure.

Alternatively, the Match.arrayEquals() API can be used to assert that the target is exactly equal to the pattern array.

Not Matcher

The not matcher inverts the search pattern and matches all patterns in the path that does not match the pattern specified.

// Given a template -
// {
//   "Resources": {
//     "MyBar": {
//       "Type": "Foo::Bar",
//       "Properties": {
//         "Fred": ["Flob", "Cat"]
//       }
//     }
//   }
// }

// The following will NOT throw an assertion error
const expected = {
  Fred: Match.not(['Flob']),
};
template.hasResourceProperties('Foo::Bar', expected);

// The following will throw an assertion error
const unexpected = Match.objectLike({
  Fred: Match.not(['Flob', 'Cat']),
});
template.hasResourceProperties('Foo::Bar', unexpected);

Serialized JSON

Often, we find that some CloudFormation Resource types declare properties as a string, but actually expect JSON serialized as a string. For example, the BuildSpec property of AWS::CodeBuild::Project, the Definition property of AWS::StepFunctions::StateMachine, to name a couple.

The Match.serializedJson() matcher allows deep matching within a stringified JSON.

// Given a template -
// {
//   "Resources": {
//     "MyBar": {
//       "Type": "Foo::Bar",
//       "Properties": {
//         "Baz": "{ \"Fred\": [\"Waldo\", \"Willow\"] }"
//       }
//     }
//   }
// }

// The following will NOT throw an assertion error
const expected = {
  Baz: Match.serializedJson({
    Fred: Match.arrayWith(["Waldo"]),
  }),
};
template.hasResourceProperties('Foo::Bar', expected);

// The following will throw an assertion error
const unexpected = {
  Baz: Match.serializedJson({
    Fred: ["Waldo", "Johnny"],
  }),
};
template.hasResourceProperties('Foo::Bar', unexpected);

Capturing Values

This matcher APIs documented above allow capturing values in the matching entry (Resource, Output, Mapping, etc.). The following code captures a string from a matching resource.

// Given a template -
// {
//   "Resources": {
//     "MyBar": {
//       "Type": "Foo::Bar",
//       "Properties": {
//         "Fred": ["Flob", "Cat"],
//         "Waldo": ["Qix", "Qux"],
//       }
//     }
//   }
// }

const fredCapture = new Capture();
const waldoCapture = new Capture();
const expected = {
  Fred: fredCapture,
  Waldo: ["Qix", waldoCapture],
}
template.hasResourceProperties('Foo::Bar', expected);

fredCapture.asArray(); // returns ["Flob", "Cat"]
waldoCapture.asString(); // returns "Qux"
