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 🙏

Babel plugin for unassert: Encourages programming with assertions by providing tools to compile them away.

unassert

Build Status NPM version Code Style License

babel-plugin-unassert removes assertions on build. So you can use assertions to declare preconditions, postconditions and invariants.

RELATED MODULES

INSTALL

$ npm install --save-dev babel-plugin-unassert

CAUTION

Babel7 is incompatible with Babel6. Babel6 is incompatible with Babel5.

For Babel6, you need to use the 2.x release of babel-plugin-unassert.

$ npm install --save-dev babel-plugin-unassert@2

For Babel 5 or lower, you need to use the 1.x release of babel-plugin-unassert.

$ npm install --save-dev babel-plugin-unassert@1

HOW TO USE

via .babelrc.js

const presets = ['@babel/env'];
const plugins = [];

if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production') {
  plugins.push('babel-plugin-unassert');
}

module.exports = { presets, plugins };
$ babel /path/to/src/target.js > /path/to/build/target.js

via @babel/cli

$ babel --plugins babel-plugin-unassert /path/to/src/target.js > /path/to/build/target.js

via @babel/core

const babel = require('@babel/core');
const transformed = babel.transformFileSync('/path/to/src/target.js', {
  presets: ['@babel/env'],
  plugins: ['babel-plugin-unassert']
});
console.log(transformed.code);

EXAMPLE

For given math.js below,

'use strict';

const assert = require('assert');

function add (a, b) {
  console.assert(typeof a === 'number');
  assert(!isNaN(a));
  assert.equal(typeof b, 'number');
  assert.ok(!isNaN(b));
  return a + b;
}

Run babel-cli with --plugins babel-plugin-unassert option to transform.

$ babel --plugins babel-plugin-unassert /path/to/demo/math.js > /path/to/build/math.js

You will see assert calls and declarations disappear.

'use strict';

function add(a, b) {
  return a + b;
}

ES6 module and power-assert support

babel-plugin-unassert supports ES6 module syntax and power-assert.

For given babel.config.js,

module.exports = function (api) {
  const presets = ['@babel/env'];
  const plugins = [];

  if (api.env(['development', 'test'])) {
    presets.push('babel-preset-power-assert');
  }

  if (api.env('production')) {
    plugins.push('babel-plugin-unassert');
  }

  return {
    presets,
    plugins
  };
};

and production code below,

import assert from 'assert';

class Calc {
  add (a, b) {
    assert(!(isNaN(a) || isNaN(b)));
    assert(typeof a === 'number');
    assert(typeof b === 'number');
    return a + b;
  }
}

then it becomes in production,

'use strict';

class Calc {
  add(a, b) {
    return a + b;
  }
}

and in development, produces power-assert messages like below

AssertionError:   # example.js:5

  assert(!(isNaN(a) || isNaN(b)))
         | |     |  |  |     |
         | |     |  |  true  NaN
         | false 3  true
         false

SUPPORTED PATTERNS

Assertion expressions are removed when they match patterns below. In other words, babel-plugin-unassert removes assertion calls that are compatible with Node.js standard assert API (and console.assert).

  • assert(value, [message])
  • assert.ok(value, [message])
  • assert.equal(actual, expected, [message])
  • assert.notEqual(actual, expected, [message])
  • assert.strictEqual(actual, expected, [message])
  • assert.notStrictEqual(actual, expected, [message])
  • assert.deepEqual(actual, expected, [message])
  • assert.notDeepEqual(actual, expected, [message])
  • assert.deepStrictEqual(actual, expected, [message])
  • assert.notDeepStrictEqual(actual, expected, [message])
  • assert.fail([message])
  • assert.fail(actual, expected, message, operator)
  • assert.throws(block, [error], [message])
  • assert.doesNotThrow(block, [message])
  • assert.rejects(asyncFn, [error], [message])
  • assert.doesNotReject(asyncFn, [error], [message])
  • assert.ifError(value)
  • console.assert(value, [message])

babel-plugin-unassert also removes assert variable declarations such as,

  • const assert = require("assert")
  • const assert = require("node:assert")
  • const assert = require("assert").strict
  • const assert = require("node:assert").strict
  • const assert = require("power-assert")
  • const assert = require("power-assert").strict
  • import assert from "assert"
  • import assert from "node:assert"
  • import assert from "power-assert"
  • import * as assert from "assert"
  • import * as assert from "node:assert"
  • import * as assert from "power-assert"
  • import {strict as assert} from "assert"
  • import {strict as assert} from "node:assert"
  • import {strict as assert} from "power-assert"

and assignments.

  • assert = require("assert")
  • assert = require("node:assert")
  • assert = require("assert").strict
  • assert = require("node:assert").strict
  • assert = require("power-assert")
  • assert = require("power-assert").strict

CUSTOMIZATION

You can customize Plugin Options such as assertion patterns.

input:

'use strict';

var invariant = require('invariant');
const nassert = require('nanoassert');
import * as uassert from 'uvu/assert';


function add (a, b) {
    nassert(!isNaN(a));

    uassert.is(Math.sqrt(4), 2);
    uassert.is(Math.sqrt(144), 12);
    uassert.is(Math.sqrt(2), Math.SQRT2);

    invariant(someTruthyVal, 'This will not throw');
    invariant(someFalseyVal, 'This will throw an error with this message');

    return a + b;
}

output:

'use strict';

function add(a, b) {
  return a + b;
}
