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

@fast-check/jest

fast-check logo

Bring the power of property based testing framework fast-check into Jest. @fast-check/jest simplifies the integration of fast-check into Jest testing framework.


Getting Started

Install @fast-check/jest:

npm install --save-dev @fast-check/jest

In order to work properly, @fast-check/jest requires jest to be installed.

We also highly recommend users to launch their tests using the --show-seed option provided by Jest. It ensures Jest will always print the seed by itself (requires Jest ≥29.2.0).

jest --show-seed

Example

import { test, fc } from '@fast-check/jest';

// for all a, b, c strings
// b is a substring of a + b + c
test.prop([fc.string(), fc.string(), fc.string()])('should detect the substring', (a, b, c) => {
  return (a + b + c).includes(b);
});

// Or the exact same test but based on named parameters
test.prop({ a: fc.string(), b: fc.string(), c: fc.string() })('should detect the substring', ({ a, b, c }) => {
  return (a + b + c).includes(b);
});

The it and test functions returned by @fast-check/jest are just enriched versions of the ones coming from jest itself. They both come with .prop.

Please note that the properties accepted by @fast-check/jest as input can either be synchronous or asynchronous (even just PromiseLike instances). In other words, the predicate passed as the last argument can be asynchronous.

Remark: it and test have been introduced in 1.4.0. You have to refer to Deprecated API if you are using a version of @fast-check/jest <1.4.0.

Advanced

Support for variations of test and it

If you want to forward custom parameters to fast-check, test.prop and its variants accept an optional fc.Parameters (more).

@fast-check/jest also comes with support for .only, .skip, .todo and .concurrent from jest. It also accepts more complex ones such as .concurrent.failing or .concurrent.only.failing.

import { it, test, fc } from '@fast-check/jest';

// With custom `fc.Parameters`, here { seed: 4242 }
test.prop([fc.nat(), fc.nat()], { seed: 4242 })('should replay the test for the seed 4242', (a, b) => {
  return a + b === b + a;
});

// With .skip
test.skip.prop([fc.fullUnicodeString()])('should be skipped', (text) => {
  return text.length === [...text].length;
});

// With it version
describe('with it', () => {
  it.prop([fc.nat(), fc.nat()])('should run too', (a, b) => {
    return a + b === b + a;
  });
});

Experimental worker-based runner

The following feature is experimental! When used it makes runners able to kill long running synchonous code. Meaning that it will make fast-check able to kill infinite loops blocking the main thread. So far, the feature does not fully support transformations performed via transform steps defined with jest.

The CommonJS approach would be:

const { init, fc } = require('@fast-check/jest/worker');
const { pathToFileURL } = require('node:url');

const { test, expect } = init(pathToFileURL(__filename));
// can also be passed options such as isolationLevel: init(pathToFileURL(__filename), {})

test.prop([fc.constant(null)])('should pass', (value) => {
  expect(value).toBe(null);
});

The ES Modules approach would be:

import { init, fc } from '@fast-check/jest/worker';

const { test, expect } = await init(new URL(import.meta.url));
// can also be passed options such as isolationLevel: init(new URL(import.meta.url), {})

test.prop([fc.constant(null)])('should pass', (value) => {
  expect(value).toBe(null);
});

⚠️ Do not forget to add the await before init for the ES Module version!

Minimal requirements

| @fast-check/jest | jest | fast-check | node | | ---------------- | --------------------------------------- | ---------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | ^2.0.0 | >=26.5.0(1)(2) | ^3.0.0 | >=14.15.0(3) and <18, >=18.17.0 and <19(4), >=20 | | ^1.0.0 | >=26.5.0(1)(2) | ^3.0.0 | >=14.15.0(3) and <18, >=18.17.0 and <19(4), >=20 |

  • (1) any version of jest should be greater or equal than 26.5.0 if you are using commonjs
  • (2) in order to use esm build, you may need to enable experimental features of node, see here
  • (3) >=14.15.0 is the minimal requirements for jest, >=12.17.0 is the one for @fast-check/jest
  • (4) timeout defined on jest might not be properly applied to fast-check for node 18 (until 18.17.0) and node 19, see #4004
