Test-Over

run useful tests on your arrays or hashes of arrays or hashes

var test = require('testover');
 
test.max('length').over(someArray); //run your tests inline
 
var samelength = test.equals('length'); //or set up a testing function to call later
samelength(someArray);

Iterate over whatever property

triplets: [
    {name: 'Joe', age: 20}
 ,  {name: 'Josie', age: 20}
 ,  {name: 'Johnny', age: 20}
]
 
test.consistent('age').over(triplets);
test.equals('age', 20).over(triplets);

and over associative arrays

assoc_triplets: {
    first: {name: 'Joe', age: 20}
 ,  second: {name: 'Josie', age: 20}
 ,  third: {name: 'Johnny', age: 20}
}
 
test.consistent('age').over(assoc_triplets);
test.equals('age', 20).over(assoc_triplets);

Included tests

• max: biggest numerical value
• min: smallest numerical value
• equals: if all values equal a specified value
• consistent: if all values equal an unspecified value
• exists: if a property exists (but might be null)
• assigned: if a property actually exists
• unique: if all values are unique

Add your own tests

The underlying process is essentially a fancy reduce function. With this in mind you can add your own reductions to do even more testing.

Usage

tests.add(* *<field name>, * *<reduction function>, * *<options object>)

Reduction functions

Reductions take the form r(property, row, reduced, opts) where property is the property passed to the new test row is the object or array currently being tested reduced is the variable being reduced (the variable that will be returned) opts is an object with extra goodies you can pass between iterations of your reduction

You can assign an initial value by assigning opts.init when you add the new reduction, otherwise opts.init and opts.first are assigned to the first list item's value.

Example

test.add('noConsecutiveRepeats', function(prop, row, repeats, opts) {
    var current = row[prop];
    if (current === opts.previous) {
        return false
    } else {
        opts.previous = current;
        return repeats;
    }
}, {init: true, previous: undefined});
 
test.noConsecutiveRepeats('property').over(array);
