## A crate for multiple types of asserts that don't exist in the standard library

## Rationale

There are several kinds of problems that I had faced while writing tests, especially when writing comparator tests.
The output from the existing macros, were providing _vague_ outputs while debugging which made me write this crate.
I had created an RFC, but neverthless it was rejected as there were not enough use cases. I am not too sure about others, but I find myself writing multiple tests that frequently make use of these assert macros.

## Importing and using

Add this to your `Cargo.toml` :

```toml
all_asserts = "*"
```

And now you can use the asserts wherever you like! If you want to make it available all across
your crate, in your `lib.rs` or `main.rs`, add the following:

```rust
#[macro_use]
extern crate all_asserts;
```

## Examples

An example using `assert_range!` :

```rust
use all_asserts::assert_range;
fn main() {
assert_range!(10..20, 20);
}
```

This outputs something like:

```
thread 'main' panicked at 'assertion failed:
`20 is not in range of 10..20` - it should have been in this range, src/main.rs:292:5
```

Another example:

```rust
use all_asserts::{assert_range, assert_nrange};
fn main() {
assert_range!(1.0..=2.0, 1.5);
// You can also add a debug message if the assertion fails
assert_nrange!(
1.0..=2.0, 1.5, "Oops! 1.5 is in the interval [1.0,2.0]"
);
}
```

This outputs:

```
thread 'main' panicked at 'assertion failed: `1.5 is in range of 1.0..2.0` - it should not have been in this range: Oops! 1.5 is in the interval [1.0,2.0]', src/main.rs:295:5
```

An example using `assert_lt!` :

```
thread 'main' panicked at 'assertion failed: `(left < right) but here (left >= right)`
left: `100` ,
right: `200` ', src/main.rs:79:5
```

Isn't that much better than what the current macros provide? Well, I'll leave you to decide!

## Available macros

The name of the assert pretty much tells you everything:

- `assert_gt!(a, b)` -> Will panic if a is not greater than b
- `assert_ge!(a, b)` -> Will panic if a is not greater than or equal to b
- `assert_lt!(a, b)` -> Will panic if a is not less than b
- `assert_le!(a, b)` -> Will panic if a is not greater than or equal to b
- `assert_range!((x..y), b)` -> Will panic if b is not within the range [x, y)
- `assert_nrange!((x..y), b)` -> Will panic if b is within the range [x, y)
- `assert_near!(a, b, e)` -> Will panic if b is not within +/- e of a; i.e. b is within the range [a - e, a + e]
- `assert_true!(a)` -> Will panic if a is not true
- `assert_false!(a)` -> Will panic if a is not false

`debug_*` variants of the macros are also available, which only work on builds with debug assertions enabled (usually builds produced by running `cargo build` or `cargo test` ).

## Building

Simply run:

```shell
$ git clone https://github.com/ohsayan/all_asserts.git
$ cd all_asserts
$ cargo build
```

And for testing:

```shell
$ cargo test
```
