template-nodejs

WORK IN PROGRESS!! unstable!!

A template project for nodejs. Has integrated linting, testing, coverage, reporting, Github actions and other goodies.

Easily use this template to quick start a production ready nodejs project template.

Code Guardian

TODOs after template use

1. Update package.json with your app defaults
2. Check Build actions on pull requests.
3. In sonar cloud, enable Automatic analysis from Administration Analysis Method for the first time before a pull request is raised:
4. Check codacy runs on pull requests, set codacy defaults. You may remove codacy if sonar cloud is only needed.
5. Update the above Code Guardian badges

Commands available

Building

Since this is a pure JS template project, build command just runs test with coverage.

> npm run build

Linting

To lint the files in the project, run the following command:

> npm run lint

To Automatically fix lint errors:

> npm run lint:fix

Testing

To run all tests:

> npm run test
  Hello world Tests
    ✔ should return Hello World
    #indexOf()
      ✔ should return -1 when the value is not present

Additionally, to run unit/integration tests only, use the commands:

> npm run test:unit
> npm run test:integ

Coverage Reports

To run all tests with coverage:

> npm run cover
  Hello world Tests
    ✔ should return Hello World
    #indexOf()
      ✔ should return -1 when the value is not present

Detailed unit test coverage report: file:///template-nodejs/coverage-unit/index.html
Detailed integration test coverage report: file:///template-nodejs/coverage-integration/index.html

After running coverage, detailed reports can be found in the coverage folder listed in the output of coverage command. Open the file in browser to view detailed reports.

To run unit/integration tests only with coverage

> npm run cover:unit
> npm run cover:integ

Sample coverage report:

Unit and Integration coverage configs

Unit and integration test coverage settings can be updated by configs .nycrc.unit.json and .nycrc.integration.json.

See https://github.com/istanbuljs/nyc for config options.

Code Guardian

Several automated workflows that check code integrity are integrated into this template. These include:

1. GitHub actions that runs build/test/coverage flows when a contributor raises a pull request
2. Sonar cloud integration using .sonarcloud.properties
   1. In sonar cloud, enable Automatic analysis from Administration Analysis Method for the first time

IDE setup

SonarLint is currently available as a free plugin for jetbrains, eclipse, vscode and visual studio IDEs. Use sonarLint plugin for webstorm or any of the available IDEs from this link before raising a pull request: https://www.sonarlint.org/ .

SonarLint static code analysis checker is not yet available as a Brackets extension.

Internals

Testing framework: Mocha , assertion style: chai

See https://mochajs.org/#getting-started on how to write tests Use chai for BDD style assertions (expect, should etc..). See move here: https://www.chaijs.com/guide/styles/#expect

Mocks and spies: sinon

if you want to mock/spy on fn() for unit tests, use sinon. refer docs: https://sinonjs.org/

Note on coverage suite used here:

we use c8 for coverage https://github.com/bcoe/c8. Its reporting is based on nyc, so detailed docs can be found here: https://github.com/istanbuljs/nyc ; We didn't use nyc as it do not yet have ES module support see: digitalbazaar/bedrock-test#16 . c8 is drop replacement for nyc coverage reporting tool
