🛠️ Unit Testing in Node.JS

A quick example of testing in Node.JS

Intro

This is a quick example project to show how a test environment can be setup in Node.js

It includes the following

Mocha - testing framework
Chai - assertion library
Istanbul - coverage testing
SinonJs - stubs and splices for mocking data

The following online tools are used to monitor results

Travis CI - Continuous Integration
David DM - Dependency Management
Codacy - Automated Code Quality Reviews
Inch CI - Documentation Reviews

The Project

The project is a very simple script that pulls current weather data from OpenWeatherMap for your location, it then analyses it and lists which items (umbrella, icecream, jumper...) you will need for the current weather.

Installation

Navigate into your working directory, run the following commands:
git clone https://github.com/Lissy93/quick-example-of-testing-in-nodejs.git to clone repo
cd quick-example-of-testing-in-nodejs to navigate into project
npm install to install the dependencies

Running

npm start will run the main file (app.js) and display results
node app --location Newcastle will run app.js for a custom location, e.g. Newcastle
npm test will run the Mocha tests, output results and generate reports
npm run cover will run the Istanbul coverage tests and output results and generate reports
