npm-lib-boilerplate

This repository is a code 'boilerplate' for starting a new npm library. It contains the following features:

• Semantic Release configured to work with Travis CI.
• Automatic linting using Standard JavaScript.
• Unit and integration tests using Mocha and Chai, following the best practices and design patterns in this YouTube video:
  • Uses ECMAScript 2015 Class for business logic and utility libraries.
  • Follows TDD best practices.
  • Uses _this to maintain context to the instance of the class.
  • Uses Sinon stubs to mock external dependencies for unit tests.
  • Each function is wrapped in try/catch statements, allowing thrown errors to 'bubble up' to the top-level function, and give every function along the way an opportunity to handle exceptions.
  • Testing assertions focus on properties and structure, not values.
