TWD


TWD (Testing Web Development) is a library designed to seamlessly integrate testing into your web development workflow. It streamlines the process of writing, running, and managing tests directly in your application, with a modern UI and powerful mocking capabilities.

Features

- 🧪 In-browser test runner with a beautiful sidebar UI
- ⚡ Instant feedback as you develop
- 🔥 Mock Service Worker integration for API/request mocking
- 📝 Simple, readable test syntax (inspired by popular test frameworks)
- 🧩 Automatic test discovery with Vite support
- 🎯 Testing Library support - Use screenDom for semantic, accessible queries
- 🛠️ Works with React (support for more frameworks coming)

Installation

``bash
npm install twd-js


or

yarn add twd-js

or

pnpm add twd-js
`

Quick Start

$3

TWD now supports any framework via its bundled version.

`ts
// Only load the test sidebar and tests in development mode
if (import.meta.env.DEV) {
const { initTWD } = await import('twd-js/bundled');
const tests = import.meta.glob("./*/.twd.test.ts");

// Initialize TWD with tests and optional configuration
// Request mocking is automatically initialized by default
initTWD(tests, {
open: true,
position: 'left',
serviceWorker: true, // Enable request mocking (default: true)
serviceWorkerUrl: '/mock-sw.js' // Custom service worker path (default: '/mock-sw.js')
});
}
`

$3

If you plan to use API mocking, set up the mock service worker:

`bash
npx twd-js init public
`

Check the Framework Integration Guide for more details.

Writing Tests

`ts
// src/app.twd.test.ts
import { twd, userEvent, screenDom } from "twd-js";
import { describe, it } from "twd-js/runner";

describe("Hello World Page", () => {
it("should display the welcome title and counter button", async () => {
await twd.visit("/");

// Use Testing Library queries (Recommended - semantic & accessible)
const title = screenDom.getByRole("heading", { name: /welcome to twd/i });
twd.should(title, "be.visible");
twd.should(title, "have.text", "Welcome to TWD");

const counterButton = screenDom.getByRole("button", { name: /count is/i });
twd.should(counterButton, "be.visible");
twd.should(counterButton, "have.text", "Count is 0");

const user = userEvent.setup();
await user.click(counterButton);
twd.should(counterButton, "have.text", "Count is 1");

// Alternative: Use TWD's native selectors for direct element access
// const title = await twd.get("h1");
// title.should("be.visible").should("have.text", "Welcome to TWD");
});
});
`

3. Run your app - The TWD sidebar will appear automatically in development mode!





Key Concepts

$3

TWD supports two approaches:

Testing Library Queries (Recommended):
`ts
const button = screenDom.getByRole("button", { name: /submit/i });
twd.should(button, "be.visible");
`

Native Selectors:
`ts
const button = await twd.get("button");
button.should("be.visible");
`

$3

`ts
const user = userEvent.setup();
await user.click(button);
await user.type(input, "Hello World");
`

$3

`ts
twd.mockRequest("getUser", {
method: "GET",
url: "/api/user",
response: { id: 1, name: "John" }
});

const rule = await twd.waitForRequest("getUser");
`
