This package is a tiny utility that helps you deal with nodes.

This utility is typically useful when you expect certain nodes in your APIs and want to make sure they’re valid and as expected.

A different utility, unist-util-assert, does the same but for any unist node.

This package is ESM only. In Node.js (version 16+), install with npm:

npm install nlcst-test

In Deno with esm.sh:

import {assert} from 'https://esm.sh/nlcst-test@4'

In browsers with esm.sh:

<script type="module">
  import {assert} from 'https://esm.sh/nlcst-test@4?bundle'
</script>

import {assert} from 'nlcst-test'

assert({type: 'RootNode', children: []})
assert({type: 'SourceNode', value: 'fn()'})
assert({type: 'WordNode', children: [{type: 'TextNode', value: 'Hi'}]})
// All OK.

assert({children: []})
// AssertionError: node should have a type: `{ children: [] }`

assert({type: 'WordNode', value: 'foo'})
// AssertionError: parent should have children: `{ type: 'WordNode', value: 'foo' }`

This package exports the identifiers _void, assert, literal, parent, and wrap. There is no default export.

Assert that tree is a valid nlcst Node.

If tree is a parent, all children will be asserted too.

Supports unknown nlcst nodes.

• tree (unknown) — thing to assert
• parent (Parent, optional) — optional, valid parent

Nothing.

When tree (or its descendants) is not an nlcst node (AssertionError).

Assert that tree is a valid nlcst Parent.

All children will be asserted too.

Supports unknown nlcst nodes.

• tree (unknown) — thing to assert
• parent (Parent, optional) — optional, valid parent

Nothing.

When tree is not a parent or its descendants are not nodes (AssertionError)

Assert that node is a valid nlcst Literal.

Supports unknown nlcst nodes.

• node (unknown) — thing to assert
• parent (Parent, optional) — optional, valid parent

Nothing.

When node is not an nlcst literal (AssertionError).

This package is fully typed with TypeScript. It exports the additional type AssertionError.

Projects maintained by the unified collective are compatible with maintained versions of Node.js.

When we cut a new major release, we drop support for unmaintained versions of Node. This means we try to keep the current release line, nlcst-test@^4, compatible with Node.js 16.

• unist-util-assert — assert unist trees
• mdast-util-assert — assert mdast trees
• hast-util-assert — assert hast trees
