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 🙏

Hire me

Please reach out if you're looking for a Node.js API or CLI engineer (11 years of experience). Most recently I have been Netlify Build's and Netlify Plugins' technical lead for 2.5 years. I am available for full-time remote positions.

Example

// The examples use Ava but any test runner works (Jest, Mocha, Jasmine, etc.)
import test from 'ava'

import multiply from './multiply.js'

import { each } from 'test-each'

// The code we are testing

// Repeat test using different inputs and expected outputs
each(
  [
    { first: 2, second: 2, output: 4 },
    { first: 3, second: 3, output: 9 },
  ],
  ({ title }, { first, second, output }) => {
    // Test titles will be:
    //    should multiply | {"first": 2, "second": 2, "output": 4}
    //    should multiply | {"first": 3, "second": 3, "output": 9}
    test(`should multiply | ${title}`, (t) => {
      t.is(multiply(first, second), output)
    })
  },
)

// Snapshot testing. The `output` is automatically set on the first run,
// then re-used in the next runs.
each(
  [
    { first: 2, second: 2 },
    { first: 3, second: 3 },
  ],
  ({ title }, { first, second }) => {
    test(`should multiply outputs | ${title}`, (t) => {
      t.snapshot(multiply(first, second))
    })
  },
)

// Cartesian product.
// Run this test 4 times using every possible combination of inputs
each([0.5, 10], [2.5, 5], ({ title }, first, second) => {
  test(`should mix integers and floats | ${title}`, (t) => {
    t.is(typeof multiply(first, second), 'number')
  })
})

// Fuzz testing. Run this test 1000 times using different numbers.
each(1000, Math.random, ({ title }, index, randomNumber) => {
  test(`should correctly multiply floats | ${title}`, (t) => {
    t.is(multiply(randomNumber, 1), randomNumber)
  })
})

Demo

You can try this library:

Install

npm install -D test-each

This package works in both Node.js >=18.18.0 and browsers.

This is an ES module. It must be loaded using an import or import() statement, not require(). If TypeScript is used, it must be configured to output ES modules, not CommonJS.

Usage

import { each } from 'test-each'

const inputs = [
  ['red', 'blue'],
  [0, 5, 50],
]
each(...inputs, (info, color, number) => {})

Fires callback once for each possible combination of inputs.

Each input can be an array, a function or an integer.

A common use case for callback is to define tests (using any test runner).

info is an object whose properties can be used to generate test titles.

Test titles

Each combination of parameters is stringified as a title available in the callback's first argument.

Titles should be included in test titles to make them descriptive and unique.

Long titles are truncated. An incrementing counter is appended to duplicates.

Any JavaScript type is stringified, not just JSON.

You can customize titles either by:

import { each } from 'test-each'

each([{ color: 'red' }, { color: 'blue' }], ({ title }, param) => {
  // Test titles will be:
  //    should test color | {"color": "red"}
  //    should test color | {"color": "blue"}
  test(`should test color | ${title}`, () => {})
})

// Plain objects can override this using a `title` property
each(
  [
    { color: 'red', title: 'Red' },
    { color: 'blue', title: 'Blue' },
  ],
  ({ title }, param) => {
    // Test titles will be:
    //    should test color | Red
    //    should test color | Blue
    test(`should test color | ${title}`, () => {})
  },
)

// The `info` argument can be used for dynamic titles
each([{ color: 'red' }, { color: 'blue' }], (info, param) => {
  // Test titles will be:
  //    should test color | 0 red
  //    should test color | 1 blue
  test(`should test color | ${info.index} ${param.color}`, () => {})
})

Cartesian product

If several inputs are specified, their cartesian product is used.

import { each } from 'test-each'

// Run callback five times: a -> b -> c -> d -> e
each(['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e'], (info, param) => {})

// Run callback six times: a c -> a d -> a e -> b c -> b d -> b e
each(['a', 'b'], ['c', 'd', 'e'], (info, param, otherParam) => {})

// Nested arrays are not iterated.
// Run callback only twice: ['a', 'b'] -> ['c', 'd', 'e']
each(
  [
    ['a', 'b'],
    ['c', 'd', 'e'],
  ],
  (info, param) => {},
)

Input functions

If a function is used instead of an array, each iteration fires it and uses its return value instead. The function is called with the same arguments as the callback.

The generated values are included in test titles.

import { each } from 'test-each'

// Run callback with a different random number each time
each(['red', 'green', 'blue'], Math.random, (info, color, randomNumber) => {})

// Input functions are called with the same arguments as the callback
each(
  ['02', '15', '30'],
  ['January', 'February', 'March'],
  ['1980', '1981'],
  (info, day, month, year) => `${day}/${month}/${year}`,
  (info, day, month, year, date) => {},
)

Fuzz testing

Integers can be used instead of arrays to multiply the number of iterations.

This enables fuzz testing when combined with input functions and libraries like faker.js, chance.js or json-schema-faker.

import faker from 'faker'

// Run callback 1000 times with a random UUID and color each time
each(
  1000,
  faker.random.uuid,
  faker.random.arrayElement(['green', 'red', 'blue']),
  (info, randomUuid, randomColor) => {},
)

// `info.index` can be used as a seed for reproducible randomness.
// The following series of 1000 UUIDs will remain the same across executions.
each(
  1000,
  ({ index }) => faker.seed(index) && faker.random.uuid(),
  (info, randomUuid) => {},
)

Snapshot testing

This library works well with snapshot testing.

Any library can be used (snap-shot-it, Ava snapshots, Jest snapshots, Node TAP snapshots, etc.).

import { each } from 'test-each'

// The `output` is automatically set on the first run,
// then re-used in the next runs.
each(
  [
    { first: 2, second: 2 },
    { first: 3, second: 3 },
  ],
  ({ title }, { first, second }) => {
    test(`should multiply outputs | ${title}`, (t) => {
      t.snapshot(multiply(first, second))
    })
  },
)

Side effects

If callback's parameters are directly modified, they should be copied to prevent side effects for the next iterations.

import { each } from 'test-each'

each(
  ['green', 'red', 'blue'],
  [{ active: true }, { active: false }],
  (info, color, param) => {
    // This should not be done, as the objects are re-used in several iterations
    param.active = false

    // But this is safe since it's a copy
    const newParam = { ...param }
    newParam.active = false
  },
)

Iterables

iterable() can be used to iterate over each combination instead of providing a callback.

import { iterable } from 'test-each'

const combinations = iterable(
  ['green', 'red', 'blue'],
  [{ active: true }, { active: false }],
)

for (const [{ title }, color, param] of combinations) {
  test(`should test color | ${title}`, () => {})
}

The return value is an Iterable. This can be converted to an array with the spread operator.

const array = [...combinations]

array.forEach(([{ title }, color, param]) => {
  test(`should test color | ${title}`, () => {})
})

API

each(...inputs, callback)

inputs: Array | function | integer (one or several)
callback: (info, ...params) => void

Fires callback with each combination of params.

iterable(...inputs)

inputs: Array | function | integer (one or several)
Return value: Iterable<[info, ...params]>

Returns an Iterable looping through each combination of params.

info

Type: object

info.title

Type: string

Like params but stringified. Should be used in test titles.

info.titles

Type: string[]

Like info.title but for each param.

info.index

Type: integer

Incremented on each iteration. Starts at 0.

info.indexes

Type: integer[]

Index of each params inside each initial input.

params

Type: any (one or several)

Combination of inputs for the current iteration.
