Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

The lightweight testing library

Readme

voda

The lightweight testing Node.JS library. Nothing can be more simple.

Philosophy

Unittests are short tests, that expect only the one result, regardless of if it is a regular result, or an error.

voda is created to be small library with no dependencies, that allows to create quick and simple tests. The code is designed to provide necessary functionality without hard-to-understand constructions and lots of useless statements.

It provides enough flexibility to create several kinds of tests.

Origin of name

The most popular frameworks for unittesting in Node.JS are chai (can be read as "Tea" in Russian) and mocha (the drink, too).

Instead of providing lots of flavours and feeling, this library provides minimum you need, just like water ("voda").

Dependencies

  • Node.JS engine
  • npm

and nothing more.

Usage

Quick example:

test('It should return 5')
  .passes(() => 5)
  .returns(5);

More you can find inside docs/voda-usage.md.

Installation

# Local installation
npm i voda

# Global installation
sudo npm i -g voda
