• aok()

Properties

• id: identifier or name for the test (defaults to a positive integer)
• test: result or callback (called in the instance's scope)
• pass: message or callback (default: "ok")
• fail: message or callback (default: "FAIL")
• handler: defaults to aok.prototype.handler
• express: defaults to aok.prototype.express
• explain: defaults to aok.prototype.explain
• run: defaults to aok.prototype.run
• cull: defaults to aok.prototype.cull
• init: defaults to aok.prototype.init

Verbose syntax

aok(object)

aok({
  id: 'example',
  test: function() {
    return 'example' === this.id;
  }
});

Anonymous syntax

aok(test) for non-object tests

aok(true);
aok(aok instanceof aok);
aok(function() {
  return isFinite(this.id);
});

Pair syntax

aok(id, test) 1.8+

aok('example', true);
aok('example', function() {
  return true;
});

Idle syntax

Calling aok() without arguments creates an idle instance that can manually be run later.

var o = aok();
o.test = true;
o.run();

grunt aok

aok 1.5+ includes a simple grunt task for running tests via grunt

Configure files to require

grunt.initConfig({
  aok: {
    test: ['./test/'],
    extras: ['./test/extras'] 
  }
});

Load task 'aok'

grunt.loadNpmTasks('aok');

Run 'aok' tasks

$ grunt aok
$ grunt aok:test
$ grunt aok:extras

Resources

• See a universal GruntFile and test dir for a solid setup
• See test dirs in ryanve packages for examples

Developers

Contribute edits to /src or report issues

$ npm install       # install dependencies 
$ grunt jshint:sub  # lint sub dirs 
$ grunt aok         # run tests 

Builds have +timestamp in the version number and are made later via grunt.
