# assert-plus
|
|
|
|
This library is a super small wrapper over node's assert module that has two
|
|
things: (1) the ability to disable assertions with the environment variable
|
|
NODE\_NDEBUG, and (2) some API wrappers for argument testing. Like
|
|
`assert.string(myArg, 'myArg')`. As a simple example, most of my code looks
|
|
like this:
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
var assert = require('assert-plus');
|
|
|
|
function fooAccount(options, callback) {
|
|
assert.object(options, 'options');
|
|
assert.number(options.id, 'options.id');
|
|
assert.bool(options.isManager, 'options.isManager');
|
|
assert.string(options.name, 'options.name');
|
|
assert.arrayOfString(options.email, 'options.email');
|
|
assert.func(callback, 'callback');
|
|
|
|
// Do stuff
|
|
callback(null, {});
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
# API
|
|
|
|
All methods that *aren't* part of node's core assert API are simply assumed to
|
|
take an argument, and then a string 'name' that's not a message; `AssertionError`
|
|
will be thrown if the assertion fails with a message like:
|
|
|
|
AssertionError: foo (string) is required
|
|
at test (/home/mark/work/foo/foo.js:3:9)
|
|
at Object.<anonymous> (/home/mark/work/foo/foo.js:15:1)
|
|
at Module._compile (module.js:446:26)
|
|
at Object..js (module.js:464:10)
|
|
at Module.load (module.js:353:31)
|
|
at Function._load (module.js:311:12)
|
|
at Array.0 (module.js:484:10)
|
|
at EventEmitter._tickCallback (node.js:190:38)
|
|
|
|
from:
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
function test(foo) {
|
|
assert.string(foo, 'foo');
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
There you go. You can check that arrays are of a homogeneous type with `Arrayof$Type`:
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
function test(foo) {
|
|
assert.arrayOfString(foo, 'foo');
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can assert IFF an argument is not `undefined` (i.e., an optional arg):
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
assert.optionalString(foo, 'foo');
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Lastly, you can opt-out of assertion checking altogether by setting the
|
|
environment variable `NODE_NDEBUG=1`. This is pseudo-useful if you have
|
|
lots of assertions, and don't want to pay `typeof ()` taxes to v8 in
|
|
production. Be advised: The standard functions re-exported from `assert` are
|
|
also disabled in assert-plus if NDEBUG is specified. Using them directly from
|
|
the `assert` module avoids this behavior.
