workshopper-verify-processor

A verify processor that I've used in a few projects.

Installation

npm install --save workshopper-verify-processor

Usage

Pass the current exercise and a verification function to the output of this module.

const exercise = require('workshopper-exercise')()
const verifyProcessor = require('workshopper-verify-processor')

exercise.addVerifyProcessor(verifyProcessor(exercise, async (test) => {
  await test.notEmpty(aList, 'translation_string', {
    key: 'value'
  })
}))

Your verification function will receive a test argument that is an object with various assertions.

Assertions can take promises as arguments and will return promises too.

The penultimate argument to an assertion is the name of a translation string. A success message will be printed if the assertion is met otherwise an error message will be shown.

pass. or fail. will be prepended to your translation string so you should have a translation file similar to:

{
  // ...
  "common": {
    "exercise": {
      "pass": {
        "translation_string": "This assertion passed with key {{key}}"
      },
      "fail": {
        "translation_string": "This assertion failed with key {{key}}"
      }
    }
  }
}

or per-exercise:

{
  // ...
  "exercises": {
    "an_exercise": {
      "pass": {
        "translation_string": "This assertion passed with key {{key}}"
      },
      "fail": {
        "translation_string": "This assertion passed with key {{key}}"
      }
    }
  }
}

The final argument to the assertion is an object with key/value pairs that are used to do replacements in the translation string.

If an assertion fails, the test is aborted and an error message is shown.

Adding custom validations

To add custom assertions, add them to verifyProcessor.assertions

Any promises passed as arguments to assertion functions will be automatically resolved before the assertion function is called.

Custom assertions can return either a boolean value or a promise that will eventually resolve to a boolean value.

const verifyProcessor = require('workshopper-verify-processor')

verifyProcessor.assertions = Object.assign({}, verifyProcessor.assertions, {
  greaterThanOne: (left) => left > 1
})

Then later:

exercise.addVerifyProcessor(verifyProcessor(exercise, async (test) => {
  await test.greaterThanOne(5, 'translation_string', {
    key: 'value'
  })
}))
