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 🙏

A simple testing library to speed-up various tests performed on tramway components

Readme

Tramway Test Suite is a simple library with functions meant for speeding up various tests using the Mocha testing framework.

The goal is that these tests break any time a core component changes in any way to act as a guidence toward version numbering and ensure that versions remain consistent for clients that use them. For the moment it doesn't go in depth.

Installation:

  1. npm install tramway-core-testsuite --save-dev

Documentation

The test suite comes with the following methods:

| Method | Arguments | Return | Comments | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | getArrayDifference | array, array | array | Returns an array with items of first array without those in the second | | getDeepArrayDifference | array, array | array | Runs getArrayDifference to both arrays and merges the result | | parseFunction | function | array | Returns an array of string-represented arguments in the function signature | | getFunctions | Object | array | Returns an array of string-represented functions in the instance's prototype and excludes the constructor | | getStaticFunctions | Object | array | Returns an array of string-represented static functions from the Class | | describeCoreClass | libClass: Class, expectedClass: string, expectedStaticProps: string[], expectedNonStaticProps: string[], next: function | function | A callback with 4 pre-made test cases to check if the class has changed in terms of its promises | | describeFunction | func: Function, expectedArguments: string[], next: function | function | A callback with 2 pre-made test cases to check if the function has changed in terms of its promises |

Usage

Simple Usage

The describeCoreClass utility can just check if functions were added or removed and that the instances check up to expectations.

Here is an example of how you would import and use the library. For the most part, the describeCoreClass is sufficient. It will test the following criteria:

  1. The expected class will be returned at the corresponding key in the library.
  2. The expected class will not add new static functions.
  3. The expected class will not remove any static functions.
  4. The expected class will not add new instance functions.
  5. The expected class will not remove any instance functions.

If tests #2 - #5 fail, it means that either a minor or major release respectively is merited.

Below you see how the Core's Router class can be tested for static and instance level function changes.

var utils = require('tramway-core-testsuite');

 describe("Should return a proper 'Router' class", utils.describeCoreClass(
    lib.Router, 
    "Router", 
    ["buildPath", "buildQuery"],
    ["initialize", "prepareRoute", "useMethod", "preparePath", "prepareArguments"]
));

Thorough Usage

The describeCoreClass can have a function chained to it where the describeFunction utility can check the arguments of functions at the class and instance level passed conveniently from the describeCoreClass function.

Here is an example of something more thorough: you can chain a function-based test. In addition to the simple tests above, it will test the following criteria:

  1. The expected function will not add new arguments.
  2. The expected function will not remove existing arguments.

If either of these tests fail, it means that either a minor or major release respectively is merited.

Below you see how the Core's Entity class can be tested for method and argument changes.

var utils = require('tramway-core-testsuite');

describe("Should return a proper 'Entity' class", utils.describeCoreClass(
    lib.Entity, 
    "Entity", 
    [],
    ["hasAttribute", "serialize", "unserialize"],
    function(testClass, testInstance, classFunctions, instanceFunctions) {
        utils.describe("The 'hasAttribute' function should have the same signature", describeFunction(
            testInstance["hasAttribute"], 
            ["attribute"]
        ));
        describe("The 'serialize' function should have the same signature", describeFunction(
            testInstance["serialize"],
            []
        ));
        describe("The 'unserialize' function should have the same signature", describeFunction(
            testInstance["unserialize"],
            ["item"]
        ));
    }
));
