Name: UnitTest.js | |
Desc: Various unit testing functions. I use these for running quick tests | |
especially against JavaScript functions and variables, which are loosely type | |
and typically can behave unexpectedly | |

Naming: | |
Variables and Functions | |
- Allowed letters, numbers, $, and _ | |
- private properties use _ before var name | |
- use camelCase ;) | |
Objects | |
- uppercase first letter (Math, Date) | |
Brace Style: open curly brace on the same line as the keyword | |
if (x) { | |
//.... | |
} | |
Functions - define them before you call them for readability | |

// Setup namespace | |
var Test = Test || {}; | |
// Get the return type of a function. This can be useful in testing to make sure | |
// a large function with lots of callbacks and data manipulation is returning | |
// the type you're expecting to work with on your next procedure. JavaScript can | |
// easily return any object, number, string at multiple points of the same function | |
Test.returnTypeIs = function(myFunction){ | |
return typeof myFunction; | |
} | |
// Returns true if the function you test returns the type you expect ('number', 'string', 'object') | |
Test.returnsType = function(myFunction, expectedType){ | |
if(typeof myFunction === expectedType){ | |
return true; | |
} | |
else{ | |
return false; | |
} | |
} | |
// Setup a basic function for testing | |
var a = (function(){ | |
return 12; | |
})(); | |
// Log some tests | |
console.log(Test.returnTypeIs(a)); | |
console.log(Test.returnsType(a, "undefined")); |
