To run the example code from the top-level application directory,
` bash`
$ node ./examples/index.js
Unit tests use the Mocha test framework with Chai assertions. To run the tests, execute the following command in the top-level application directory:
` bash`
$ make test
All new feature development should have corresponding unit tests to validate correct functionality.
This repository uses Istanbul as its code coverage tool. To generate a test coverage report, execute the following command in the top-level application directory:
` bash`
$ make test-cov
Istanbul creates a ./reports/coverage directory. To access an HTML version of the report,
` bash``
$ make view-cov
