Support for testing, VS Code extension and community contributions

By Team AdonisJS • Issue #7 • View online

I am back with our 7th edition of this newsletter. This time we have some exciting news for you 🤩

Announcing first class support for testing

A couple of months back, we announced Japa (a homegrown testing framework for Node). This month, we integrated Japa into AdonisJS, providing a seamless testing experience.

When writing tests:

AdonisJS allows you to organize tests using test suites.
API client to test your HTTP endpoints with the ability to assert against OpenAPI schema.
Inbuilt fakes for Mailer, Event emitter, and Drive.
Some other features include the tests watcher, grouping tests, dataset-driven tests, the ability to pin and skip tests, and a lot more.

Get started now 👉

Make sure to read the testing documentation, along with Japa’s documentation.
Check out this live stream - I create a dummy blog using TDD.
Finally, you can watch this screencast to configure the tests runner inside your existing AdonisJS applications.

The all new VS Code extension

Julien from the core team recently released an all-new VS Code extension to skyrocket your development experience.

It includes:

Ability to run ace commands directly from the VS Code.
View list of routes.
Open documentation inside an embedded browser.
Validations and intellisense for .adonisrc.json file.
Syntax highlighting for Edge templates.
AdonisJS and Edge snippets.
Click and go to the controller from your routes file.
Click and go to Edge partials, components, and layouts.
Autocomplete for controllers/methods within the routes file.

The extension is in beta right now, and your feedback will help us improve it.
