What is minimalistic-assert?

The minimalistic-assert npm package is a minimal assertion library that provides a simple way to assert truths in JavaScript code. It is designed to be small and straightforward, offering basic assertion functionality without any frills.

What are minimalistic-assert's main functionalities?

Assert truthiness

This feature allows you to assert that a value is truthy. If the value is not truthy, it throws an AssertionError with the provided message.

var assert = require('minimalistic-assert');
assert(true, 'This will not throw');
assert(false, 'This will throw an AssertionError');

Assert equality

This feature allows you to assert that two values are equal using the '==' operator. If they are not equal, it throws an AssertionError with the provided message.

var assert = require('minimalistic-assert');
assert.equal(1, 1, 'This will not throw');
assert.equal(1, 2, 'This will throw an AssertionError');

Assert strict equality

This feature allows you to assert that two values are strictly equal using the '===' operator. If they are not strictly equal, it throws an AssertionError with the provided message.

var assert = require('minimalistic-assert');
assert.strictEqual(1, 1, 'This will not throw');
assert.strictEqual(1, '1', 'This will throw an AssertionError');
