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 🙏

Beautiful assertion library.

Philosophy

  • Straight-forward: Alright should get out of your way and just let you define your tests with what you already know: plain JavaScript.

  • No verbosity: We don't want expect(x).to.eventually.be.boring...

  • Helpful error messages: When things go wrong, Alright should do its best to show you exactly what's wrong and how you might fix it.

  • Test-framework agnostic: Alright should work with anything that expect Errors to be thrown when assertions fail.

  • Extensible: It should be easy to extend the built-in assertions with plain JavaScript.

  • Work with older Browsers: Some people still need to support old IEs, Alright should work on them.

Example

Using the Sweet.js macros:

var _ = require('specify-assertions')

// simple assertions
add(a)(b) => a + b
add(a)(b) => not a + b

// anything goes assertions
add(a)(b) should _.equal(a + b)
add(a)(b) should not _.equal(a + b)

// asynchronous assertions with pure fantasy-land monads, or Promises/A+
asyncAdd(a)(b) will _.equal(a + b)
asyncAdd(a)(b) will not _.equal(a + b)

Using vanilla JavaScript:

var _ = require('specify-assertions')

// Use verify for synchronous assertions
_.verify(add(a)(b))(_.equals(a + b))
_.verify(add(a)(b))(_.not(_.equals(a + b)))

// use verifyFuture for monadic Futures, and verifyPromise for Promises/A+
_.verifyMonad(asyncAdd(a)(b))(_.equals(a + b))

Installing

Platform support

This library assumes an ES5 environment, but can be easily supported in ES3 platforms by the use of shims. Just include [es5-shim][] :)
