Documentation

tsdoc-testify

documentation testing for tsdoc.

Inspired by Rust documentation tests, this tool extracts code from @example block of tsdoc style comments and generate jest friendly test codes.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

Installing

$ npm install -g tsdoc-testify

How to use

  1. Prepare .ts file with tsdoc style docs.
/**
 * sub function
 *
 * @remarks
 * demo
 *
 * @example
 *
 * ```
 * import * as assert from "assert";
 * import { sub } from "./sample";
 *
 * assert.equal(sub(2, 1), 1);
 * ```
 *
 * @example
 *
 * ```
 * import * as assert from "assert";
 * import { sub } from "./sample";
 *
 * assert.equal(sub(4, 5), -1);
 * ```
 * @param a
 * @param b
 */
export function sub(a: number, b: number) {
  return a - b;
}
  1. Generate test code
$ tsdoc-testify --filepath path/to/file.ts  # (or also accepts glob with --fileMatch flag)

By default, generate testcode file in the same directory as original file with .doctest.ts extension.

// Code generated by "ts-doctestify"; DO NOT EDIT.

import * as assert from "assert";
import { sum, sub, Duck } from "./sample";
test("/Users/akito/workspace/tsdoc-testify/examples/sample.ts_1", () => {
  assert.equal(sub(2, 1), 1);
});
test("/Users/akito/workspace/tsdoc-testify/examples/sample.ts_2", () => {
  assert.equal(sub(4, 5), -1);
});
  1. Setup jest

Add .doctest.ts pattern to testMatch directive of jest config.

  "jest": {
    "moduleFileExtensions": [
      "ts",
      "tsx"
    ],
    "transform": {
      "^.+\\.(ts|tsx)$": "ts-jest"
    },
    "globals": {
      "ts-jest": {
        "tsConfig": "tsconfig.json"
      }
    },
    "testMatch": [
      "**/__tests__/*.+(ts|tsx|js)",
      "**/*.doctest.ts" // add
    ],
    "testPathIgnorePatterns": [
      "/node_modules/"
    ]
  },
  1. Run
$ jest

 PASS  examples/sample.doctest.ts
  ✓ /Users/akito/workspace/tsdoc-testify/examples/sample.ts_0 (2ms)
  ✓ /Users/akito/workspace/tsdoc-testify/examples/sample.ts_1

Custom tags

@exampleCaseName

Test case name (the first argument of test function) is original filename + order no by default. It can be modified by using @exampleCaseName inline tag.

For example.

/**
 *
 * @example
 * {@exampleCaseName custom name here}
 *
 * ```
 * import * as assert from "assert";
 * import { sub } from "./sample";
 *
 * assert.equal(sub(2, 1), 1);
 * ```
 *
 */
export function sub(a: number, b: number) {
  return a - b;
}

then:

// Code generated by "ts-doctestify"; DO NOT EDIT.

import * as assert from "assert";
import { sum, sub, Duck } from "./sample";

test("custom name here", () => {
  assert.equal(sub(2, 1), 1);
});

@ignoreExample

If you want to skip generation for specific @example case, you can use @ignoreExample inline tag.

/**
 * @example
 *
 * ```
 * import * as assert from "assert";
 * import { sub } from "./sample";
 *
 * assert.equal(sub(3, 2), 1);
 * ```
 *
 * @example
 * {@ignoreExample}
 *
 * ```
 * import * as assert from "assert";
 * import { sub } from "./sample";
 *
 * assert.equal(sub(2, 1), 1);
 * ```
 *
 */
export function sub(a: number, b: number) {
  return a - b;
}

then:

// Code generated by "ts-doctestify"; DO NOT EDIT.

import * as assert from "assert";
import { sum, sub, Duck } from "./sample";

test("/Users/akito/workspace/tsdoc-testify/examples/sample.ts_2", () => {
  assert.equal(sub(3, 2), 1);
});

Second block is ignored.
