npm install bisect-any 
Like git-bisect, but on arbitrary function or command to find the "bad" value.
``bashinstall globally
npm install -g bisect-any
`
Run a default export function from a js file with bisect values
E.g. To find the first integer that it's square is larger than 300 (answer: 18)
Example js function test/isSquareLessThan300.js
`bash
bisect-any --file test/is-square-less-than300.js 1 100
$3
Run a CLI command with bisect values. If the command exit with non-zero code, it's considered a bad value.
Use
as placeholder of bisect value in command string.Example js program test/is-square-less-than300.js
`bash
bisect-any --command "node test/is-square-less-than300.js %" 1 100
`Examples - library
js
const { bisect } = require('bisect-any')(async () => {
const [result, report] = await bisect({
start: 1,
end: 100,
check: (val) => {
return val ** 2 <= 300;
},
})
})()
/**
* result === 18
*
* report == {
* totalRounds: 8,
* records: [
* { goodVal: 1, badVal: 100 },
* { goodVal: 1, badVal: 50 },
* { goodVal: 1, badVal: 25 },
* { goodVal: 13, badVal: 25 },
* { goodVal: 13, badVal: 19 },
* { goodVal: 16, badVal: 19 },
* { goodVal: 17, badVal: 19 },
* { goodVal: 17, badVal: 18 }
* ]
* }
