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 🙏

Readme

dexit

Declarative Extensible Integration Testing framework.

The Dexit aims to create a framework for integration testing of complex applications which consist of various services such as API servers, databases, pub/sub systems and so on. The Dexit allows you to easily test these services altogether.

Why declarative approach instead of programming?

  • Because most of the integrations tests are about requesting or querying some service and then checking its response.
  • A declarative approach using YAML files is more understandable even for non-programmers.
  • For some people seems to be more readable.
  • Easy inheritance of configuration and parameters.

Usage

Stand-alone Project

cd your_project_dir

# Create folder for tests
mkdir -p ./tests

# Create a new Node.JS module
npm init

# Install Dexit
npm install --save @dexit/dexit

# Install additional modules (currently not working)
# npm install --save @dexit/module-http
# npm install --save @dexit/module-mqtt
# npm install --save @dexit/reporter-junit

# Customize Dexit configuration using package.json
nano package.json

# Run tests
./node_modules/.bin/dexit

# Or if you install dexit globally
dexit

# Or if you add npm script as shown below...
npm run test

As a Part of an Existing Node.JS Project

cd your_project_dir

# Create folder for tests
mkdir -p ./tests

# Install Dexit
npm install --save @dexit/dexit

# Install additional modules (currently not working)
# npm install --save @dexit/module-http
# npm install --save @dexit/module-mqtt
# npm install --save @dexit/reporter-junit

# Customize Dexit configuration using package.json
nano package.json

# Run tests
./node_modules/.bin/dexit

# Or if you install dexit globally
dexit

# Or if you add npm script as shown below...
npm run test

Configuration

Configuration can be done via package.json file or using command line arguments.

For command line arguments run dexit -h or ./node_modules/.bin/dexit -h.

Example configuration with default values using package.json file:

{
  "name": "demo",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "scripts": {
    "test": "./node_modules/.bin/dexit -h"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "@dexit/dexit": "*"
  },
  "dexit": {
    "reporters": {
      "console": {
        "detailed": false,
        "reportValidTasks": false,
        "reportArgs": false
      }
    },
    "ignoreInvalidTests": true,
    "loadBuiltInModules": true,
    "autoloadModules": true,
    "testsPath": "./tests",
    "modulesPath": "./node_modules"
  }
}

Example of CLI Help:

usage: dexit [-h] [-v] [--base-path BASEPATH] [--modules-path MODULESPATH]
              [--no-autoload] [--no-builtin] [--ignore-invalid]
              [--reporter [module_name [module_name ...]]] [--debug]
              [--generate-schema schema_filename]
              [testsPath [testsPath ...]]

DEXIT v0.1.0 (Declarative Extensible Integration Testing)

Positional arguments:
  testsPath             Tests directory path

Optional arguments:
  -h, --help            Show this help message and exit.
  -v, --version         Show program's version number and exit.
  --base-path BASEPATH  Base project path
  --modules-path MODULESPATH
                        Node modules path
  --no-autoload         Disable autoloading of modules
  --no-builtin          Disable autoloading of built-in modules

IntelliSense for VS Code

In Visual Studio Code, you can enable IntelliSense features for your test files as follows.

  1. Install YAML Support by Red Hat extension
  2. Generate JSON schema file for your project using ./node_modules/.bin/dexit --generate-schema ./schema.json
  3. Create a new workspace for your project (or use absolute path starting with file:// in step 4)
  4. Add following properties to your workspace configuration:
"settings": {
  "yaml.schemas": {
    "./schema.json": "tests/***.yaml"
  }
}
  1. Enjoy
