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 🙏

RxReact/Jest Helpers are simple tools for testing RxJS observables. This can be useful any project, not just React.

Typedocs for Jest Helpers

Installation

In your project:

npm install @rxreact/jest-helpers --save

or

yarn add @rxreact/jest-helpers

RxJS and Jest are peer dependencies and need to be installed separately.

Then import the library:

import { watchSignal } from "@rxreact/jest-helpers";

Basic Usage

This library adds a function for making an observable hot, and adds two matchers to Jest to checking if an observable has emitted a value.

If you have used expect(jest.fn()).toHaveBeenCalled() and expect(jest.fn()).toHaveBeenCalledWith(value), these helpers should feel familiar.

Checking if a observable emitted

To check if an observable emitted any value:

await expect(of("a")).toEmit();

Checking if a observable emitted a specific value

await expect(of("a")).toEmitValue("a");

Checking that a observable did not emit anything

await expect(never()).not.toEmit();

Checking that a observable did not emit a specific value

await expect(of("a")).not.toEmitValue("b");

Watching a cold observable

Often observables are cold - they will forget any values they might have emitted before something subscribes to them. To get around this, you can use watchSignal to get a hot version of the observable with shareReplay, which will record everything the observable emits.

watchSignal cleans up after itself after every test to prevent memory leaks. So, make sure to only call watchSignal in a beforeEach or a test body.

import { Subject } from "rxjs";
import { watchSignal } from "./jest-helpers";

it("watches a cold signal", async () => {
  const subject$ = new Subject<string>();
  const hot$ = watchSignal(subject$);

  // Hasn't emitted yet
  await expect(hot$).not.toEmit();

  // Make subject$ emit a value.
  subject$.next("a");

  // A cold subject loses all values.
  await expect(subject$).not.toEmitValue("a");

  // A hot watched signal remembers values.
  await expect(hot$).toEmitValue("a");
});

Loading the library

To use the expect(observable$).toEmit() and expect(observable$).toEmitValue(value) functions in your test, you must import the library in the test file.

If you need watchSignal (and you probably will), simply importing it will do the job:

import { watchSignal } from "@rxreact/jest-helpers";

If you have a test that only tests hot signals, you will still need to import the library to you test file to get the jest extensions:

import "@rxreact/jest-helpers";

Awaiting Expectations

.toEmit() / toEitValue() work by waiting 100 ms for the observable to emit, to account for asynchronous observables. So you must await every expectation, to make sure you catch failures:

await expect(o$).toEmit();
