DESCRIPTION
---------------------------------------

`babel-plugin-espower` is a [Babel](https://babeljs.io/) plugin for [power-assert](https://github.com/power-assert-js/power-assert).

`power-assert` provides descriptive assertion messages for your tests, like this.

```
  1) ES6 demo Destructuring and TemplateLiteral:

      AssertionError:   # test/demo_test.js:7

  assert(`${ alice.name } and ${ bob.name }` === `bob and alice`)
         |   |     |             |   |       |   |

         |   Object{name:"alice"}
         "alice and bob"

```

Pull-requests, issue reports and patches are always welcomed. See [power-assert](https://github.com/power-assert-js/power-assert) project for more documentation.


FYI: There's a [babel preset for all power-assert plugins](https://github.com/power-assert-js/babel-preset-power-assert)


INSTALL
---------------------------------------

```
$ npm install --save-dev @gerhobbelt/babel-plugin-espower
```


CAUTION
---------------------------------------

Babel7 is incompatible with Babel6. Babel6 is incompatible with Babel5.

For Babel6, you need to use [the 2.x release of babel-plugin-espower](https://github.com/power-assert-js/babel-plugin-espower/tree/2.x).

```
$ npm install --save-dev babel-plugin-espower@2
```

For Babel5 or lower, you need to use [the 1.x release of babel-plugin-espower](https://github.com/power-assert-js/babel-plugin-espower/tree/1.1.x).

```
$ npm install --save-dev babel-plugin-espower@1
```


HOW TO USE
---------------------------------------


### via [.babelrc](https://babeljs.io/docs/usage/babelrc/) (Recommended)

```javascript
{
  "presets": [
    ...
  ],
  "plugins": [
    "babel-plugin-espower"
  ]
}
```

```
$ babel /path/to/test/some_test.js > /path/to/build/some_test.js
```

For example, with `@gerhobbelt/babel-register` module and `.babelrc` above, you can run mocha without code generation steps.

```
$ $(npm bin)/mocha --require @gerhobbelt/babel-register test/some_test.js
```


### via [Babel API](https://babeljs.io/docs/usage/api/)

```javascript
var babel = require('@gerhobbelt/babel-core');
var jsCode = fs.readFileSync('/path/to/test/some_test.js');
var transformed = babel.transform(jsCode, {
    presets: [...],
    plugins: ['babel-plugin-espower']
});
console.log(transformed.code);
```


### via [Babel Require Hook](https://babeljs.io/docs/usage/require/)

```javascript
require('@gerhobbelt/babel-register')({
    presets: [...],
    plugins: ['babel-plugin-espower']
});
```

For example, with `babel_hook.js` above, you can run mocha without code generation steps.

```
$ $(npm bin)/mocha --require ./babel_hook /path/to/test/demo_test.js
```


### with [babelify](https://github.com/babel/babelify)

```javascript
var fs = require('fs');
var browserify = require('browserify');
var babelify = require('babelify');
var glob = require('glob'),
browserify({ entries: glob.sync('./test/*_test.js'), debug: true })
  .transform(babelify.configure({
      presets: [...],
      plugins: ['babel-plugin-espower']
  }))
  .bundle()
  .on('error', function (err) { console.log('Error : ' + err.message); })
  .pipe(fs.createWriteStream('all_test.js'));
```

```
$ $(npm bin)/browserify -d -e ./test/*_test.js -t [ babelify --presets ... --plugins babel-plugin-espower ]
```


### with [babelify](https://github.com/babel/babelify) and [gulp](http://gulpjs.com/)

```javascript
var source = require('vinyl-source-stream');
var browserify = require('browserify');
var glob = require('glob'),
gulp.task('build_test', function() {
    var files = glob.sync('./test/*_test.js');
    var b = browserify({entries: files, debug: true});
    b.transform(babelify.configure({
        presets: [...],
        plugins: ['babel-plugin-espower']
    }));
    return b.bundle()
        .pipe(source('all_test.js'))
        .pipe(gulp.dest('./build'));
});
```


### with [babelify](https://github.com/babel/babelify) and [Karma](https://karma-runner.github.io)

```javascript
module.exports = function(config) {
  config.set({
    frameworks: ['mocha', 'browserify'],
    files: [
      "test/**/*.js"
    ],
    preprocessors: {
      "test/**/*.js": "browserify"
    },
    browserify: {
      debug: true,
      transform: [
        [
          'babelify', {
            presets: [...],
            plugins: ['babel-plugin-espower']
          }
        ]
      ]
    },
    // ...
```


EXAMPLE
---------------------------------------


For given test file `test/demo_test.js` below,

```javascript
import assert from 'power-assert';

describe('ES6 demo', () => {

    it('Destructuring and TemplateLiteral', () => {
        let [alice, bob] = [ { name: 'alice' }, { name: 'bob' } ];
        assert(`${alice.name} and ${bob.name}` === `bob and alice`);
    });

    it('ArrowFunctionExpression and SpreadElement', () => {
        let seven = 7, ary = [4, 5];
        assert(seven === ((v, i) => v + i)(...[...ary]));
    });

    it('Enhanced Object Literals', () => {
        let name = 'bobby';
        assert.deepEqual({
            name,
            [ `${name}'s greet` ]: `Hello, I'm ${name}`
        }, null);
    });

});
```

prepare `babel_hook.js` to transform tests.

```javascript
{
  "presets": [
    ...
  ],
  "plugins": [
    "babel-plugin-espower"
  ]
}
```

Run `mocha` with `--require @gerhobbelt/babel-register` option. You will see the power-assert output appears.

```
$ $(npm bin)/mocha --require @gerhobbelt/babel-register test/demo_test.js

CUSTOMIZE
---------------------------------------

### by plugin options

You can customize configs such as assertion patterns via [.babelrc](https://babeljs.io/docs/usage/babelrc/)

```javascript
{
  "presets": [
    ...
  ],
  "plugins": [
    ["babel-plugin-espower", {
      "embedAst": true,
      "patterns": [
        "assert.isNull(object, [message])",
        "assert.same(actual, expected, [message])",
        "assert.near(actual, expected, delta, [message])"
      ]
    }]
  ]
}
```

or via [Require Hook](https://babeljs.io/docs/usage/require/).

```javascript
require('@gerhobbelt/babel-register')({
    presets: [...],
    plugins: [
        ['babel-plugin-espower', {
            embedAst: true,
            patterns: [
                'assert.isNull(object, [message])',
                'assert.same(actual, expected, [message])',
                'assert.near(actual, expected, delta, [message])'
            ]
        }]
    ]
});
```

or via [Babel API](https://babeljs.io/docs/usage/api/),

```javascript
var babel = require('@gerhobbelt/babel-core');
var jsCode = fs.readFileSync('/path/to/test/some_test.js');
var transformed = babel.transform(jsCode, {
    presets: [...],
    plugins: [
        ['babel-plugin-espower', {
            embedAst: true,
            patterns: [
                'assert.isNull(object, [message])',
                'assert.same(actual, expected, [message])',
                'assert.near(actual, expected, delta, [message])'
            ]
        }]
    ]
});
console.log(transformed.code);
```

#### options

| type     | default value       |
|:---------|:--------------------|
| `object` | objects shown below |

Configuration options for `babel-plugin-espower`. If not passed, default options will be used (return value of `defaultOptions()` with default `embedAst`, `visitorKeys`, `astWhiteList`, `path`, `sourceRoot` and `sourceMap`. `visitorKeys` is value of `babel.types.VISITOR_KEYS`. `astWhiteList` is value of `babel.types.BUILDER_KEYS`. `path` is filename passed to babel. `sourceRoot` is be return value of `process.cwd()`, `sourceMap` is babel's internal SourceMap object).

```javascript
{
    patterns: [
        'assert(value, [message])',
        'assert.ok(value, [message])',
        'assert.equal(actual, expected, [message])',
        'assert.notEqual(actual, expected, [message])',
        'assert.strictEqual(actual, expected, [message])',
        'assert.notStrictEqual(actual, expected, [message])',
        'assert.deepEqual(actual, expected, [message])',
        'assert.notDeepEqual(actual, expected, [message])',
        'assert.deepStrictEqual(actual, expected, [message])',
        'assert.notDeepStrictEqual(actual, expected, [message])'
    ],
    embedAst: true,
    visitorKeys: babel.types.VISITOR_KEYS,
    astWhiteList: babel.types.BUILDER_KEYS,
    sourceRoot: process.cwd(),
    path: file.opts.filename,
    sourceMap: file.inputMap ? file.inputMap.toObject() : false
}
```

#### options.embedAst

If you want to use non-ECMASCript-standard features such as JSX tags in your `assert()`, you should set `embedAst` option to `true`.

```js
assert(shallow(<Foo />).is('.foo'));
```
