Bundle and test CommonJS and ESM in NodeJS and UMD in the browser with Rollup, AvaJS and Playwright. And repeat with GitHub Actions workflow.

A little blogpost on why I thought Batr was a good idea: [Test setup for JavaScript/web development with less stress and pain— My solution so far: Batr](https://blogg.knowit.no/solutions-no/test-setup-for-javascript/web-development-with-less-stress-and-pain-my-solution-so-far-batr).

I'm using AvaJS since I want a simple enough test framework and don't want to be too smart about assertions. The needs are not that big. For UI tests it's good to be a little repetitive. If you want to test a sequence of interactions A, B, C and D, then test them all synchronously in one go. You'll get to test the transition between the interactions and that the result of interaction A, doesn't screw up interaction B and so on.

## Example setup
For an actual working example, check out [batr-example](http://github.com/eklem/batr-example) on how to use batr. It's an example library with minimal of functions and user-interface to show-case how to set up `batr`. The examples here are lifted from that library.

## Libraries used:
* [AvaJS](https://github.com/avajs/ava)
* [Playwright](https://playwright.dev/docs/intro)
* [Rollup](https://rollupjs.org/guide/en/) + plugins `@rollup/plugin-commonjs`, `@rollup/plugin-json` and `@rollup/plugin-node-resolve`
* [StandardJS](https://standardjs.com/)

**Integrations**
* Using [GitHub Actions workflow](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/learn-github-actions/workflow-syntax-for-github-actions) for continuous integration.

## Get started

### Add batr devDependency
All the dependencies in one. Security updates and version bumps done mostly at the start of every month, so less GitHub dependabot noise.

```javaScript
"devDependencies": {
"batr": "^1.0.5"
}
```
The underlying libraries are used (required and imported) as normal.

### Define main, module and browser
* `main` - CJS - CommonJS
* `module` - ESM - ES Modules
* `browser` - UMD - Universal Module Definitions

```javaScript
"main": "./dist/batr-example.cjs.js",
"module": "./dist/batr-example.esm.mjs",
"browser": "./dist/batr-example.umd.js",
```

Makes pointers to which files are used for what. Used i.e. when bundling correct distribution files with Rollup and to use the correct file when doing `const moduleName = require('moduleName')` or `import moduleName from "moduleName"`.

### Tests

#### Build/bundle and tests from package.json

```javaScript
"scripts": {
"build": "rollup --config",
"test": "standard './*.js' && npm run build && npx ava ./test/test.cjs.js && npx ava ./test/test.esm.mjs && npx ava ./test/ui-test.js"
}
```

#### Rollup config for bundling CJS, ESM and UMD

```javaScript
import resolve from '@rollup/plugin-node-resolve'
import commonjs from '@rollup/plugin-commonjs'
import json from '@rollup/plugin-json'
import pkg from './package.json'

export default [
// browser-friendly UMD build
// CommonJS (for Node) and ES module (for bundlers) build.
// (We could have three entries in the configuration array
// instead of two, but it's quicker to generate multiple
// builds from a single configuration where possible, using
// an array for the `output` option, where we can specify
// `file` and `format` for each target)
{
input: './src/index.js',
output: [
{ name: 'math', file: pkg.browser, format: 'umd', exports: 'named' },
{ file: pkg.main, format: 'cjs' },
{ file: pkg.module, format: 'es' }
],
plugins: [
resolve(), // so Rollup can find `ms`
commonjs(), // so Rollup can convert `ms` to an ES module
json() // for Rollup to be able to read content from package.json
]
}
]
```

#### Actual test scripts

##### Main - ./dist/batr-example.cjs.js
```javaScript
const test = require('ava')
const { add, subtract, multiply, divide } = require('../dist/batr-example.cjs.js')

test('addition a + b', (t) => {
const expected = 31
const addition = add(7, 24)
t.deepEqual(addition, expected)
})

test('subtraction a - b', (t) => {
const expected = -17
const subtraction = subtract(7, 24)
t.deepEqual(subtraction, expected)
})

test('multiplication a * b', (t) => {
const expected = 168
const multiplication = multiply(7, 24)
t.deepEqual(multiplication, expected)
})

test('division a * b', (t) => {
const expected = 0.2916666666666667
const division = divide(7, 24)
t.deepEqual(division, expected)
})
```

##### Module - ./dist/batr-example.esm.mjs
Same tests as for `Main`, just using `import` instead of `require`.
```javaScript
import test from 'ava'
import { add, subtract, multiply, divide } from '../dist/batr-example.esm.mjs'

// Tests are identical to Main/CJS tests
})
```

##### Browser - ./dist/ui-test.js
Similar tests, but done through recorded user interactions in a browser. You recorded with `playwright codegen`. Create your prototype and do something like this:
```console
npx playwright codegen -o javascript index.html
```

[Playwright has good documentation on how to record](https://playwright.dev/docs/codegen#generate-tests) user interactions and generating test-code for different programming languages. I'm guessing it's good practice to swap some of the HTML references with a little more solid CSS selectors so that the tests won't fail becuase of small HTML changes.

To see more of what's going on you can set `healess: false` and slow it down with `sloMo: 500`, but it will fail if you try it on i.e. a server, since there it's running headless.

Also, you can test with different browsers or more than one browser, and emulate devices like an Iphone.

```javaScript
const { chromium } = require('playwright')
const test = require('ava')
const browserPromise = chromium.launch({
headless: true
// slowMo: 500
})

const path = require('path')
async function pageMacro (t, callback) {
const browser = await browserPromise
const page = await browser.newPage()
await page.setViewportSize({ width: 640, height: 480 })
try {
await callback(t, page)
} finally {
await page.close()
}
}

test('Add numbers 4 and 7, subtract 7 from 4, multiply 4 and finally divide 4 by 7', pageMacro, async (t, page) => {
// t.plan(4)
const filePath = await path.resolve('./demo/index.html')
const url = 'file://' + filePath

// Go to ./index.html
await page.goto(url)

// Click first number input field and delete
await page.click('#firstNumber')
await page.keyboard.press('Backspace')

// Type number
await page.keyboard.type('4')

// Press Tab twice to get to next number
await page.keyboard.press('Tab')
await page.keyboard.press('Tab')

// Fill #secondNumber
await page.keyboard.type('7')

// Press Tab with modifiers
await page.press('#secondNumber', 'Shift+Tab')

// screenshot, 1st task
await page.screenshot({ path: './screenshots/screenshot-01.png' })

// Test that 4 + 7 gives 11
t.deepEqual(await page.textContent('#result span'), '11')

// Select subtract
await page.selectOption('select[name="calculation"]', 'subtract')

// screenshot, 2nd task
await page.screenshot({ path: './screenshots/screenshot-02.png' })

// Test that 4 - 7 gives -3
t.deepEqual(await page.textContent('#result span'), '-3')

// Select multiply
await page.selectOption('select[name="calculation"]', 'multiply')

// screenshot, 3rd task
await page.screenshot({ path: './screenshots/screenshot-03.png' })

// Test that 3 * 11 gives 28
t.deepEqual(await page.textContent('#result span'), '28')

// Select divide
await page.selectOption('select[name="calculation"]', 'divide')

// screenshot, 4th task
await page.screenshot({ path: './screenshots/screenshot-04.png' })

// Test that 4 / 7 gives 0.5714285714285714
t.deepEqual(await page.textContent('#result span'), '0.5714285714285714')
})
```

#### Continuous integration with GitHub Actions workflow
`ubuntu-latest` is easy going, but you can test OSX and Windows too. Check [GitHubs runs-on documentiation](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/learn-github-actions/workflow-syntax-for-github-actions#jobsjob_idruns-on).
`.github/workflows/tests.yml`:
```yml
name: tests
on:
- push
- pull_request
jobs:
run-tests:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
strategy:
matrix:
node-version: [12.x, 14.x, 16.x]
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
- uses: actions/setup-node@v2
with:
node-version: ${{ matrix.node-version }}
- run: npm install
- run: sudo apt-get install xvfb
- run: xvfb-run --auto-servernum npm test
```

## Background and goal
* Use less time on updating the same bundle and test framework code in different libraries.
* Quicker bundling and test setup when creating new libraries.
* As few dependencies as possible, or a good balance between dependencies and function, to not have minor updates all the time.
* New NPM release every month, meaning less noise from Dependabot. Batr + dependencies will only be devDependencies, and security issues will not be a big problem.

### Easy setup of
* Ava tests in Node.js
* Possibly duplicat Ava tests in browser
* User-like interaction tests in browser, supported by Ava
* Bundling & buildin g for the browser, CommonJS and ESM
