Standard library assertion utilities.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/assert

Usage

var assert = require( '@stdlib/assert' );

assert

Included in this namespace is a comprehensive suite of assertion utilities, such as utilities for testing for various data types and others for testing for JavaScript feature support.

var o = assert;
// returns {...}

To validate the built-in JavaScript data types, the namespace includes the following assertion utilities:

For primitive types having corresponding object wrappers, assertion utilities provide isObject and isPrimitive methods to test for either objects or primitives, respectively.

var isBoolean = require( '@stdlib/assert/is-boolean' );

var bool = isBoolean.isObject( new Boolean( false ) );
// returns true

bool = isBoolean.isObject( false );
// returns false

bool = isBoolean.isPrimitive( false );
// returns true

Many of the assertion utilities have corresponding packages that test whether array elements are of the given data type:

Where applicable, similar to the assertion utilities for built-in data types, array assertion utilities provides methods for testing for an array of primitives or objects.

var isStringArray = require( '@stdlib/assert/is-string-array' );

var bool = isStringArray( [ 'hello', 'world' ] );
// returns true

bool = isStringArray.primitives( [ 'hello', 'world' ] );
// returns true

bool = isStringArray.objects( [ 'hello', 'world' ] );
// returns false

bool = isStringArray.objects( [ new String( 'hello' ), new String( 'world' ) ] );
// returns true

The namespace also contains utilities to test for numbers within a certain range or for numbers satisfying a particular "type":

The namespace provides various utilities for validating typed arrays:

The namespace includes utilities for validating ndarrays (n-dimensional arrays).

The namespace includes utilities for validating complex numbers and arrays of complex numbers:

The namespace includes utilities for validating other special arrays or buffers:

To test for error objects, the namespace includes the following utilities:

The namespace exposes the following constants concerning the current running process:

  • IS_BIG_ENDIAN: check if an environment is big endian.
  • IS_BROWSER: check if the runtime is a web browser.
  • IS_DARWIN: boolean indicating if the current process is running on Darwin.
  • IS_DOCKER: check if the process is running in a Docker container.
  • IS_ELECTRON_MAIN: check if the runtime is the main Electron process.
  • IS_ELECTRON_RENDERER: check if the runtime is the Electron renderer process.
  • IS_ELECTRON: check if the runtime is Electron.
  • IS_LITTLE_ENDIAN: check if an environment is little endian.
  • IS_MOBILE: check if the current environment is a mobile device.
  • IS_NODE: check if the runtime is Node.js.
  • IS_TOUCH_DEVICE: check if the current environment is a touch device.
  • IS_WEB_WORKER: check if the runtime is a web worker.
  • IS_WINDOWS: boolean indicating if the current process is running on Windows.

To test whether a runtime environment supports certain features, the namespace includes the following utilities:

The remaining namespace utilities are as follows:

Examples

var objectKeys = require( '@stdlib/utils/keys' );
var assert = require( '@stdlib/assert' );

console.log( objectKeys( assert ) );

Notice

This package is part of stdlib, a standard library for JavaScript and Node.js, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computing. The library provides a collection of robust, high performance libraries for mathematics, statistics, streams, utilities, and more.
