babel-plugin-unassert
Babel plugin for unassert: Encourages programming with assertions by providing tools to compile them away.
babel-plugin-unassert removes assertions on build. So you can use assertions to declare preconditions, postconditions and invariants.
RELATED MODULES

INSTALL
$ npm install --save-dev babel-plugin-unassert
CAUTION
Babel7 is incompatible with Babel6. Babel6 is incompatible with Babel5.
For Babel6, you need to use the 2.x release of babel-plugin-unassert.
$ npm install --save-dev babel-plugin-unassert@2
For Babel 5 or lower, you need to use the 1.x release of babel-plugin-unassert.
$ npm install --save-dev babel-plugin-unassert@1
HOW TO USE
via .babelrc.js
const presets = ['@babel/env'];
const plugins = [];
if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production') {
plugins.push('babel-plugin-unassert');
}
module.exports = { presets, plugins };
$ babel /path/to/src/target.js > /path/to/build/target.js
via @babel/cli
$ babel --plugins babel-plugin-unassert /path/to/src/target.js > /path/to/build/target.js
via @babel/core
const babel = require('@babel/core');
const transformed = babel.transformFileSync('/path/to/src/target.js', {
presets: ['@babel/env'],
plugins: ['babel-plugin-unassert']
});
console.log(transformed.code);
EXAMPLE
For given math.js
below,
'use strict';
const assert = require('assert');
function add (a, b) {
console.assert(typeof a === 'number');
assert(!isNaN(a));
assert.equal(typeof b, 'number');
assert.ok(!isNaN(b));
return a + b;
}
Run babel-cli
with --plugins babel-plugin-unassert
option to transform.
$ babel --plugins babel-plugin-unassert /path/to/demo/math.js > /path/to/build/math.js
You will see assert calls and declarations disappear.
'use strict';
function add(a, b) {
return a + b;
}
ES6 module and power-assert support
babel-plugin-unassert supports ES6 module syntax and power-assert.
For given babel.config.js,
module.exports = function (api) {
const presets = ['@babel/env'];
const plugins = [];
if (api.env(['development', 'test'])) {
presets.push('babel-preset-power-assert');
}
if (api.env('production')) {
plugins.push('babel-plugin-unassert');
}
return {
presets,
plugins
};
};
and production code below,
import assert from 'assert';
class Calc {
add (a, b) {
assert(!(isNaN(a) || isNaN(b)));
assert(typeof a === 'number');
assert(typeof b === 'number');
return a + b;
}
}
then it becomes in production,
'use strict';
class Calc {
add(a, b) {
return a + b;
}
}
and in development, produces power-assert messages like below
AssertionError: # example.js:5
assert(!(isNaN(a) || isNaN(b)))
| | | | | |
| | | | true NaN
| false 3 true
false
SUPPORTED PATTERNS
Assertion expressions are removed when they match patterns below. In other words, babel-plugin-unassert removes assertion calls that are compatible with Node.js standard assert API (and console.assert
).
assert(value, [message])
assert.ok(value, [message])
assert.equal(actual, expected, [message])
assert.notEqual(actual, expected, [message])
assert.strictEqual(actual, expected, [message])
assert.notStrictEqual(actual, expected, [message])
assert.deepEqual(actual, expected, [message])
assert.notDeepEqual(actual, expected, [message])
assert.deepStrictEqual(actual, expected, [message])
assert.notDeepStrictEqual(actual, expected, [message])
assert.fail([message])
assert.fail(actual, expected, message, operator)
assert.throws(block, [error], [message])
assert.doesNotThrow(block, [message])
assert.rejects(asyncFn, [error], [message])
assert.doesNotReject(asyncFn, [error], [message])
assert.ifError(value)
console.assert(value, [message])
babel-plugin-unassert also removes assert variable declarations such as,
const assert = require("assert")
const assert = require("node:assert")
const assert = require("assert").strict
const assert = require("node:assert").strict
const assert = require("power-assert")
const assert = require("power-assert").strict
import assert from "assert"
import assert from "node:assert"
import assert from "power-assert"
import * as assert from "assert"
import * as assert from "node:assert"
import * as assert from "power-assert"
import {strict as assert} from "assert"
import {strict as assert} from "node:assert"
import {strict as assert} from "power-assert"
and assignments.
assert = require("assert")
assert = require("node:assert")
assert = require("assert").strict
assert = require("node:assert").strict
assert = require("power-assert")
assert = require("power-assert").strict
CUSTOMIZATION
You can customize Plugin Options such as assertion patterns.
input:
'use strict';
var invariant = require('invariant');
const nassert = require('nanoassert');
import * as uassert from 'uvu/assert';
function add (a, b) {
nassert(!isNaN(a));
uassert.is(Math.sqrt(4), 2);
uassert.is(Math.sqrt(144), 12);
uassert.is(Math.sqrt(2), Math.SQRT2);
invariant(someTruthyVal, 'This will not throw');
invariant(someFalseyVal, 'This will throw an error with this message');
return a + b;
}
output:
'use strict';
function add(a, b) {
return a + b;
}
