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 🙏

mocha-foam

An experimental Mocha BDD wrapper for fast-check's property based testing.

Contents

Install

Add mocha-foam to your project as a dev dependency, along with fast-check and mocha, if you are not already using them:

> yarn add -D fast-check mocha mocha-foam

Usage

This is a BDD-style wrapper around fc.check(fc.asyncProperty(...)), and supports all of the same Arbitraries that fast-check normally provides.

Property based suites are defined with over and the library is provided as an ES module:

import { expect } from 'chai';
import { integer } from 'fast-check';
import { over } from 'mocha-foam';

describe('example properties', () => {
  over('some numbers', integer(), (it) => {
    it('should be even', (n: number) => {
      return n % 2 === 0;
    });

    it('should be odd', async (n: number) => {
      expect(n % 2).to.equal(1);
    });
  });
});

Assertions can be made through expect (and the other Chai assertion styles) or by returning a boolean, and may be async functions. The test callbacks are called with a Mocha context in this, so the usual caveats apply to arrow functions.

Note the wrapped it passed to the suite callback by over. This wrapped it calls through to Mocha's it, after wrapping the test in a fast-check property, while over calls through to Mocha's describe. Most Mocha features, like beforeEach and afterEach hooks, work correctly within the suite defined by over.

You can pass additional parameters to the fast-check Runner after the suite callback:

describe('more examples', () => {
  over('some UUIDs', uuid(), (it) => {
    // beforeEach hooks work normally, since the wrapped it calls through to real it
    beforeEach(() => {
      console.log('before each UUID test');
    });

    it('should be a good one', (id: string) => {
      return id[9] !== 'a';
    });

    it('should be long enough', (id: string) => {
      expect(id).to.have.length.greaterThan(2);
    });
  }, {
    // fast-check parameters are supported, like examples
    examples: ['a', 'b'],
    numRuns: 1_000,
  });

  over('mapped properties', tuple(lorem(), integer()).map(([a, b]) => a.substr(b)), (it) => {
    it('should have content', (text: string) => {
      return text.length > 0;
    });
  }, {
    // error formatting can be overridden with a custom handler, or fast-check's default reporter
    errorReporter: defaultReportMessage,
  });
});

The default reporter, briefReporter, will print the number of runs, number of shrinks, and any counterexamples found:

  5) example properties
       some UUIDs
         should be a good one:
     Error: Property failed by returning false after 3 runs and 8 shrinks, failing on: "00000000-a000-300d-8000-000000000000" (seed: -886543855, path: '2:0:10:0:10:0:2:3:3')

Build

To build mocha-foam, run make. The build depends on:

  • Node 14+
  • Yarn 1.x

To run small tests with coverage, run make cover.

The make help target will print help for the available targets.
