# 45



> A functionally-oriented test runner



`45` is the fast and functional test runner that is easy to use and gets out of

your way.



## Let me have it!

```sh

npm install --save-dev 45

```



## Features



- Does not rely on globals

- Test failure if no assertions are returned

- Lazy, monadic, and curried test assertions via [`4.5`](https://github.com/TylorS/4.5)

- Promise, Observable, and Async/Await support

- Runs all tests in parallel

- ES2015 and TypeScript support out-of-box



## Basic Usage



Create a test file



```js

// test/foo.js



// ES2015

import { describe, given, it, equals } from '45';



export const test = describe('Array', [

  given('a few numbers', [

    it('has length greater than 0', () => {

      return equals([1, 2, 3].length > 0, true);

    })

  ])

])



export const otherTest = it('equals 4', () => {

  return equals(4, 4);

})



// commonjs

const { describe, given, it, equals } = require('45');



exports.test = describe('Array', [

  given('a few numbers', [

    it('has length greater than 0', () => {

      return equals([1, 2, 3].length > 0, true);

    })

  ])

])



exports.otherTest = it('equals 4', () => {

  return equals(4, 4);

})

```



In your terminal run



```sh

./node_modules/.bin/45 test/foo.js

# Supports globs

./node_modules/.bin/45 test/*.js



# or without parameters

# by default it will search for all .test and .spec files in src/ folder

# and for all files in test/ and tests/ folders

./node_modules/.bin/45

```



And you should see:

## Tests



When running 45 from the command line, it will look for all test files

it can, collecting all exports, of no particular export name, that adhere

to the `Test` interface described in the [types](#types) section. This means

that 45 can be extended to handle new test types not offered here via 3rd

party libraries.



All 45 `Test`s must return objects adhering to the `Assertion` interface

described in the [Types](#types) section. Many assertions are re-exported by this

library from [4.5](https://github.com/TylorS/4.5). Though a number are provided

by default -- 3rd party libraries implementing the `Assertion` interface can be used

100% freely.



#### `describe(thing: string, tests: Array): Test`



Allows collecting many `Test`s together as a larger whole. All tests are

run in parallel.



```typescript

import { describe } from '45';



export const test = describe('My Thing', [ ... ])

```



#### `given(parameters: string, tests: Array): Test`



Just like `describe` in that it allows collecting many `Test`s together as a

larger whole, but allows for more descriptive test suites. All tests are run in

parallel.



```typescript

import { describe, given } from '45';



export const test = describe('My thing', [

  given(`a b and c`, [

    it('does ...', () => { ... })

  ])

])

```



#### `it(does: string, testFn: TestFn): Test`



Primitive test type which allows providing a callback to

actually perform assertions. By default, will timeout at 2000 milliseconds.



```typescript

import { it, pass } from '45';



export const test = it('does things', () => {

  return pass(1);

})

```



#### `timeout(ms: number, test: Test): Test`



Allows adjusting the amount of time a test can take to complete.



```typescript

import { it, timeout, equals } from '45';



export const failing = it('fails', () => {

  return new Promise((resolve) => {

    setTimeout(resolve, 3000, 1)

  })

    .then(equals(1));

})



export const passing = timeout(3500, it('passes', () => {

  return new Promise((resolve) => {

    setTimeout(resolve, 3000, 1)

  })

    .then(equals(1));

}));

```



#### `beforeEach(hook: () => any, tests: Array): Test`



Allow running a hook before a series of tests. This will run the containing array

of tests one after another.



```typescript

import { beforeEach, describe, given, it } from './';



import { equals } from '4.5';



let x = 0;



export const test = describe('beforeEach', [

  given(`a function and an array of tests`, [

    beforeEach(() => { x++; }, [

      it('runs beforeEach test', () => {

        return equals(1, x);

      }),



      it('runs beforeEach test every time', () => {

        return equals(2, x);

      }),

    ]),

  ]),

]);

```



## Assertions (re-exported from 4.5)



- All functions of arity 2 or more are curried.

- All types are defined below in the [types](#types) section.



#### `equals(expected: A, actual: A): Assertion`



Asserts two values `expected` and `actual` to have value equality.



#### `is(expected: A, actual: A): Assertion`



Asserts two values `expected` and `actual` to have referential equality.



#### `pass(value: A): Assertion`



Creates an assertion which always passes with a given value.



#### `fail(message: any): Assertion`



Creates an assertion which will always fail with a given message.



#### `throws(fn: () => any): Assertion`



Creates an assertion that tests that a given function throws and error.



## Assertion combinators (re-exported from 4.5)



#### `map(fn: (a: A) => B, assertion: Assertion): Assertion`



Given a function it maps one assertion value to another.



```typescript

import { it, map, equals } from '45';



export const test = it('maps a value from type A to type B', () => {

  const add1 = (x: number) => x + 1;



  return map(add1 /* called with 1 */, equals(1, 1)) // Assertion<2>;

});

```



#### `ap(fn: Assertion<(a: A) => B>, value: Assertion): Assertion`



Given an assertion containing a function from `a` to `b`, and an assertion

of `a` returns an assertion of type `b`.



```typescript

import { it, ap, pass } from '45';



export const test = it('applys fn to a value', () => {

  const add1 = (x: number) => x + 1;



  const fn: Assertion<(x: number) => number> = pass(add1);

  const value: Assertion = pass(1);



  return ap(fn, value); // returns an assertion containing the value 2

});

```



#### `chain(fn: (a: A) => Assertion, assertion: Assertion): Assertion`



Given a function from one value a to Assertion b and an assertion of type a, returns an assertion of type b

Useful for making many assertions using the values from the previous assertion.



```typescript

import { it, chain, equals, map }



export const test = it('chains many assertions', () => {

  const add1 = (x: number) => x + 1;



  const oneIsOne = equals(1, 1);

  const isTwo = equals(2); // don't forget, all assertions are curried!

  const isThree = equals(3);



  return chain(isThree, map(add1, chain(isTwo, map(add1, oneIsOne))));

})

```



#### `bimap`



Type signature is to long for the header :smile:



```typescript

bimap(

  failure: (message: string) => string,

  success: (a: A) => B,

  assertion: Assertion): Assertion;

```



Similar to `map` but also allows adjusting error messages.



Useful for creating your own error messages.



```typescript

import { bimap, equals, fail, pass } from '45';



export const test = it('allows adjusting error message', () => {

  return bimap(() => 'Sadly 1 is not correct', fail /* should not pass*/, fail(1));

});

```



#### `concat(one: Assertion, two: Assertion): Assertion`



Chain together 2 assertions.



```typescript

import { concat, pass, it } from '45';



export const test = it('concatenates', () => {

  return concat(pass(1), pass(2)); // passes if and only if both assertions pass.

});

```



## Types



```typescript

// 45 interfaces

export interface Test {

  name: string;

  timeout: number;

  run(): Promise>;

  showStatus: boolean;

}



export type TestFn =

  (() => Assertion) |

  (() => Promise>) |

  (() => Observable>);



export interface TestResult {

  failures: number;

  message: string;

}



export type Observable =

  {

    subscribe(observer: Observer): Subscription;

  }



export type Observer =

  {

    next(value: A): any;

    error(err: any): any;

    complete(): any;

  }



export type Subscription =

  {

    unsubscribe(): any;

  }



// 4.5 re-exported interfaces



export interface Assertion {

  verify(verification: Verification): void;

}



export interface Verification {

  success(actual: T): any;

  failure(message: string): any;

}

```
