Convert markdown documents into runnable specs/tests for your project.
Table of Contents
Installation
Install via npm:
$ npm install boco-markdown-driven
Overview
This library provides the following main components:
Parser
- parses markdown tokens into aParseTree
representing a specificationCompiler
- compiles markdown source to a specification formatConverter
- reads markdown files, compiles, and writes specification filesCLI
- command line interface
This library does not include a Generator
. You should install one of the available generators, or write a generator for your language and test framework.
Generators
Generators consume a ParseTree
and generate specification code for a given language and framework (ie: jasmine/coffee).
Available Generators
generator | framework | language | Notes :---------------------------|:-------------|:-----------|:------ boco-mdd-jasmine-coffee | jasmine | coffee | boco-mdd-jasmine-js | jasmine | js | coming soon boco-mdd-mocha-coffee | mocha | coffee | coming soon boco-mdd-mocha-js | mocha | js | coming soon
Write a Generator
Your generator class should have a single generate
method that consumes a ParseTree
and outputs specification code.
Take a look at the source for one of the available generators for more information.
If you have written a generator, please contact us to add it to the list.
Usage
MarkdownDriven = require "boco-markdown-driven"
MDDJasmineCoffee = require "boco-mdd-jasmine-coffee"
Using the API
Create a parser
and a generator
, then use them to construct a compiler
:
parser = new MarkdownDriven.Parser nativeLanguages: ["coffee"]
generator = new MDDJasmineCoffee.Generator
compiler = new MarkdownDriven.Compiler
parser: parser
generator: generator
Compile markdown into testable source code:
compiler.compile "# Mather..." # => "describe 'Mather' -> ..."
Using the CLI
Create a configuration file and pass it to the CLI:
# compile all .md files in {readDir}
$ markdown-driven -c ./markdown-driven.json "**/*.md"
# get help
$ markdown-driven --help
# local installation
$ ./node_modules/.bin/markdown-driven --help
// file: "markdown-driven.json"
{
// require this generator
"generator": "boco-mdd-jasmine-coffee",
// marked lexer constructor options
