a small and fast unassert transform

It transforms assert calls to void expressions. Use a minifier like terser to completely remove them.

Input:

var assert = require('assert')
assert(true)
assert.equal(typeof x, 'string')
assert(sideEffectCall())
assert.throws(function () {})

Output:

;
void (true)
void (typeof x, 'string')
void (sideEffectCall())
void (function () {})

After minification:

sideEffectCall();

npm install mini-unassert

It works as a stream and as a browserify transform.

var unassert = require('mini-unassert')
fs.createReadStream('file.js')
  .pipe(unassert({ modules: ['assert', 'power-assert', 'nanoassert'] }))
  .pipe(fs.createWriteStream('file.unassert.js'))

browserify -g mini-unassert -g uglifyify

Create a stream that replaces assert calls with void expressions.

• opts.modules is an array of assertion module names, defaulting to ['assert'].

Add unassert as a browserify transform. b is an instance of browserify.

• Set opts.global to run it on all files, including dependencies in node_modules. (recommended)
• opts.modules is an array of assertion module names, defaulting to ['assert'].
