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

@tapjs/synonyms

This plugin provides a lot of aliases for various assertion methods.

USAGE

This plugin is not included in tap by default. Add it by running tap plugin add @tapjs/synonyms.

Once added:

import t from 'tap'

// If you can guess it, it's probably what you'd think.
t.isEqual(1 + 2, 3)

History

When node-tap was originally written, there were several different test and assertion frameworks (including node's built-in assert module) that all had subtly different naming conventions.

Test libraries in JavaScript at the time were often ported from other languages like Ruby or Perl, which had different naming conventions, and they sometimes preserved those conventions.

I had the ""bright"" idea to just not have an opinion, and say "whatever, JavaScript makes method aliasing easy, why not support all of them?" This turned out to be a regrettable choice, but despite years of deprecation, these methods do still exist in tests out in the wild. So the way forward is to move the aliases completely out of tap's core feature set into a plugin.

If you want it, opt into it.
