Code Coverage

This feature allows you to collect code coverage information from your tests. You can use it with a test runner like mocha by adding it to your npm scripts in your package.json file.

"scripts": {
  "test": "nyc mocha"
}

Check Coverage Thresholds

nyc can enforce coverage thresholds. If code coverage falls below the specified thresholds, nyc will exit with a failure status. This is useful for maintaining a high standard of test coverage in a project.

"scripts": {
  "test": "nyc --check-coverage --lines 95 --functions 95 --branches 95 mocha"
}

Report Generation

After running your tests with nyc, you can generate various types of coverage reports. This example shows how to generate a report in the 'lcov' format, which can be used with tools that support lcov coverage reports.

"scripts": {
  "coverage": "nyc report --reporter=text-lcov > coverage.lcov"
}

Integration with CI/CD

nyc can be integrated with continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) systems. In this example, coverage information is piped to the 'coveralls' service to track coverage over time.

"scripts": {
  "coveralls": "nyc report --reporter=text-lcov | coveralls"
}
