[Cucumber](https://cucumber.io) is a tool for running automated tests written in plain language. Because they're
written in plain language, they can be read by anyone on your team. Because they can be
read by anyone, you can use them to help improve communication, collaboration and trust on
your team.

This is the JavaScript implementation of Cucumber. It runs on [maintained versions](https://github.com/nodejs/Release) of Node.js. You can [quickly try it via CodeSandbox](https://codesandbox.io/s/cucumber-js-demo-2p3vrl?file=/features/greeting.feature), or read on to get started locally in a couple of minutes.

Looking to contribute? Read our [code of conduct](https://github.com/cucumber/.github/blob/main/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md) first, then check the [contributing guide](./CONTRIBUTING.md) to get up and running.

## Install

Cucumber is [available on npm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@cucumber/cucumber):

```shell
$ npm install @cucumber/cucumber
```

## Get Started

Let's take this example of something to test:


First, write your main code in `src/index.js`:

```js
class Greeter {
  sayHello() {
    return 'hello'
  }
}

module.exports = {
  Greeter
}
```

Then, write your feature in `features/greeting.feature`:

```gherkin
Feature: Greeting

  Scenario: Say hello
    When the greeter says hello
    Then I should have heard "hello"
```

Next, implement your steps in `features/support/steps.js`:

```js
const assert = require('assert')
const { When, Then } = require('@cucumber/cucumber')
const { Greeter } = require('../../src')

When('the greeter says hello', function () {
  this.whatIHeard = new Greeter().sayHello()
});

Then('I should have heard {string}', function (expectedResponse) {
  assert.equal(this.whatIHeard, expectedResponse)
});
```

Finally, run Cucumber:

```shell
$ npx cucumber-js
```

And see the output:

If you learn best by example, we have [a repo with several example projects](https://github.com/cucumber/cucumber-js-examples), that might help you get going.
