crash-course

The simplest testing framework, ever. Browser friendly, too.

Install

Node:

npm install --save crash-course

Bower:

bower install crash-course --save

Bower continued (or just download the script and save it somewhere):

<script src="/path-to-the-script/crash.js"></script>

require.js compatible, too.

Usage

Node:

'use strict';

var crash_course = require('crash-course');
var someTest = crash_course('someTest');

someTest.case(function(t) {
  // do things...
  if (passed) {
    t.pass('yay!');
  } else {
    t.fail('oh noes.');
  }
});

Browser:

'use strict';
// assumes you've already included crash.js
var someTest = crash_course('someTest');
someTest.case(function(t) {
  // stuff
  if (passed) {
    t.pass('yippee!');
  } else {
    t.fail('ummmmm. well, then.');
  }
});

API

Requiring the module returns a function:

crash_course(description[, fancy])

Returns a test with the provided description, and if provided, fancy describes whether it should output with colors. Note: fancy has no effect in browsers, since you can't output color to the console in the browser.

test.case(testFunction)

The testFunction receives 1 argument: a new Case.

test.freeform()

Returns a new Case. Useful when testing things that require a regular this context.

Case

The Case class has 3 methods:

pass, fail, and warn

Each function outputs the corresponding status for the test case and accepts an optional description. However, if you call more than one or call one more than once, the function will throw (you can't call pass and then fail, or call pass twice).
