Using as test titles​

On Poku, describe can be used just as a pretty console.log to title your test suites in the terminal.

import { describe, assert } from 'poku';

describe('Test Title');

assert(true, '1');
assert(true, '2');

Personalization​

background​

Change the background color for your personal title.

import { describe, assert } from 'poku';

describe('Test Title', { background: 'blue' });

assert.ok(true, '1');
assert.ok(true, '2');

icon (prefix)​

Poku also allows the prefix customization.

The default icon is ☰.

import { describe, assert } from 'poku';

describe('Test Title', { icon: '🔬' });

assert.ok(true, '1');
assert.ok(true, '2');

Grouping tests (usual)​

import { describe, assert } from 'poku';

describe(() => {
  assert.equal(1 + 1, 2, '1 + 1 should be 2');
  assert.equal(2 + 2, 4, '2 + 2 should be 4');
});
import { describe, assert } from 'poku';

describe('Sum tests', () => {
  assert.equal(1 + 1, 2);
  assert.equal(2 + 2, 4);
});
import { describe, assert } from 'poku';

describe('Sum tests', () => {
  assert.equal(1 + 1, 2, '1 + 1 should be 2');
  assert.equal(2 + 2, 4, '2 + 2 should be 4');
});
