@fast-check/jest

@fast-check/jest

Bring the power of property based testing framework fast-check into Jest. @fast-check/jest simplifies the integration of fast-check into Jest testing framework.

---

Getting Started

Install @fast-check/jest:

npm install --save-dev @fast-check/jest

In order to work properly, @fast-check/jest requires jest to be installed.

Example

import { testProp, fc } from '@fast-check/jest';

// for all a, b, c strings
// b is a substring of a + b + c
testProp('should detect the substring', [fc.string(), fc.string(), fc.string()], (a, b, c) => {
  return (a + b + c).includes(b);
});

Please note that the properties accepted by @fast-check/jest as input can either be synchronous or asynchronous (even just PromiseLike instances).

Advanced

If you want to forward custom parameters to fast-check, testProp accepts an optional fc.Parameters (more).

@fast-check/jest also comes with .only, .skip and .todo from jest.

import { itProp, testProp, fc } from '@fast-check/jest';

testProp(
  'should replay the test for the seed 4242',
  [fc.nat(), fc.nat()],
  (a, b) => {
    return a + b === b + a;
  },
  { seed: 4242 }
);

testProp.skip('should be skipped', [fc.fullUnicodeString()], (text) => {
  return text.length === [...text].length;
});

describe('with it', () => {
  itProp('should run too', [fc.nat(), fc.nat()], (a, b) => {
    return a + b === b + a;
  });
});

Minimal requirements

@fast-check/jest	jest	fast-check
^1.0.0	>=26.5.0(1)(2)	^3.0.0

• (1) any version of jest should be greater or equal than 26.5.0 if you are using commonjs
• (2) in order to use esm build, you may need to enable experimental features of node, see here
