What is this?
This package is a tiny utility that helps you deal with nodes.
When should I use this?
This utility is typically useful when you expect certain nodes in your APIs and want to make sure they’re valid and as expected.
Different utilities, mdast-util-assert
,
hast-util-assert
, and nlcst-test
,
do the same but for mdast, hast, and nlcst nodes, respectively.
Install
This package is ESM only. In Node.js (version 16+), install with npm:
npm install unist-util-assert
In Deno with esm.sh
:
import {assert} from 'https://esm.sh/unist-util-assert@4'
In browsers with esm.sh
:
<script type="module">
import {assert} from 'https://esm.sh/unist-util-assert@4?bundle'
</script>
Use
import {_void, assert, parent} from 'unist-util-assert'
assert({type: 'root', children: []})
assert({type: 'break'})
assert({type: 'element', properties: {}, children: []})
// All OK.
assert({children: []})
// AssertionError: node should have a type: `{ children: [] }`
parent({type: 'break'})
// AssertionError: parent should have `children`: `{ type: 'break' }`
assert({type: 'element', properties: function() {}})
// AssertionError: non-specced property `properties` should be JSON: `{ type: 'element', properties: [Function] }`
_void({type: 'text', value: 'Alpha'})
// AssertionError: void should not have `value`: `{ type: 'text', value: 'Alpha' }`
assert({type: 'paragraph', children: ['foo']})
// AssertionError: node should be an object: `'foo'` in `{ type: 'paragraph', children: [ 'foo' ] }`
API
This package exports the identifiers _void
, assert
,
literal
, parent
, and wrap
.
There is no default export.
assert(tree[, parent])
Assert that tree
is a valid unist Node
.
If tree
is a parent, all children will be asserted too.
Parameters
tree
(unknown
) — thing to assertparent
(Parent
, optional) — optional, valid parent
Returns
Nothing.
Throws
When tree
(or its descendants) is not a node.
parent(tree[, parent])
Assert that tree
is a valid unist Parent
.
All children will be asserted too.
Parameters
tree
(unknown
) — thing to assertparent
(Parent
, optional) — optional, valid parent
Returns
Nothing.
Throws
When tree
is not a parent or its descendants are not nodes.
literal(node[, parent])
Assert that node
is a valid unist Literal
.
Parameters
tree
(unknown
) — thing to assertparent
(Parent
, optional) — optional, valid parent
Returns
Nothing.
Throws
When node
is not a literal.
_void(node[, parent])
Assert that node
is a valid void node.
Parameters
tree
(unknown
) — thing to assertparent
(Parent
, optional) — optional, valid parent
Returns
Nothing.
Throws
When node
is not a node, a parent, or a literal.
wrap(fn)
Wrapper that adds the current node (and parent, if available) to error messages.
Parameters
fn
((node?: any, parent?: Parent | null | undefined) => asserts node is Node)
) — custom assertion
Returns
Wrapped fn
.
AssertionError
Assertion error from node:assert
(TypeScript type).
Type
type AssertionError = import('node:assert').AssertionError
Extensions
This module can be used as a base to test subsets of unist (for an example, see
mdast-util-assert
).
All functions that are exposed from such a module, and functions used internally
to test children, should be wrapped in wrap
, which adds an inspectable string
of the respective node, and its parent when available, to the exposed error
message.
Types
This package is fully typed with TypeScript.
It exports the additional type AssertionError
.
Compatibility
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, unist-util-assert@^4
,
compatible with Node.js 16.
