tsanki

tsanki is a TypeScript library designed for compile-time unit tests for TypeScript types. It provides a robust testing framework to ensure your types behave as expected during compilation.

Features

• Compile-time unit tests for TypeScript types.
• Integration with standard TypeScript tooling.
• Lightweight and easy to integrate into existing projects.

Installation

To install tsanki, use the following command:

npm install tsanki

Usage

The tsanki library offers a suite of utilities to assert relationships between TypeScript types at compile time. Here's how you can use it to write effective type tests:

1. Import the library: Start by importing the necessary functions from tsanki.

   import {
       expect,
       ToBeEquivalentTo,
       ToBeNarrowerThan,
       ToBeStrictlyNarrowerThan,
       ToBeAnythingWithRespectTo,
       ToBeIncomparableTo,
   } from 'tsanki';

2. Writing Tests: Use the expect function along with the test conditions provided by tsanki to assert different type relationships:

   • ToBeEquivalentTo: Asserts that two types are equivalent.

     expect<{ a: 1 }, ToBeEquivalentTo, { a: 1 }>;

   • ToBeStrictlyNarrowerThan: Asserts that one type is strictly narrower than another.

     expect<{ a: 1 }, ToBeStrictlyNarrowerThan, { a: number }>;

   • ToBeNarrowerThan: Asserts that one type is narrower than or equivalent to another.

     expect<{ a: 1 }, ToBeNarrowerThan, { a: number }>;

   • ToBeAnythingWithRespectTo: Asserts no specific relationship (broad compatibility).

     expect<{ a: 1 }, ToBeAnythingWithRespectTo, { a: number }>;

   • ToBeIncomparableTo: Asserts that two types are incomparable.

     expect<{ a: 1 }, ToBeIncomparableTo, { a: string }>;

3. Run the Tests: Execute the TypeScript compiler to run the tests. If the type relationships are not as asserted, the compiler will emit errors.

4. Interpret the Results: If there are no compiler errors, your type assertions have passed. If there are errors, you'll need to examine them to understand the type mismatches.
