Hello, and welcome to my Promise Workshop, with 🐶 Princess as my helper!
This is broken up into exercises. When you run the application, it'll go through each exercises one by one, if one fails it stops and tells you about it.
Currently, every exercise is broken. Let's fix them, with our trusty sidekick, Princess! She'll 🐽 sniff out hints, and ⭐ leave marks on hints she found.
Most of the exercises are around interacting with a Princess or Doggo
objects I created, isolated to the exercise.
No, I do not feed Princess real 🐊 alligators. She's allergic.
You might not know this, but dogs often develop allergies to meats over their lifetime. So while 🐥🐮 multi-source diets are healthier, single-source diets allow you to respond to allergies faster. For that reason it's often recommended to use single-source diets for dogs.
After Princess developed some allergies, and 🦌 import terrifs on less allergy-invoking meats were recognized, I reached out to some less common meats. Including, and you guessed it, 🐊 alligator. It's an understatement to say "she loved it".
Today, she does not eat alligators, but her love for it was actualized. And she became "the alligator hunter" in my view of her in my world. I often give her a treat called "alligator whimzees" a meat-free dental chew shaped like an 🐊 alligator.
Each exercise is inside a folder in ./exercises with a simple setup.
.solution.js This will have a final solution, you could copy/🍝pasta. However,
it's recommended you only look if you're feeling stuck.
constants.js This will not need to be modified, but feel free to read the code
if you're unsure how certain methods work.
index.js Will always be present, and is the only place you'll need to make
changes.
module.exports = (assert) => {
return ...; // the `return` is important!
}This let's the exercise runner pull in your code easily, it's necesary and won't work w/o it.
Most exercises need to return a Promise so that the runner can execute them correctly. If you don't return you might get an error saying that the "assert count" was off.
This is a very basic assertion library. It mirrors how console.assert works,
but I made my own so I can do some special introspection for this workshop.
assert statements for any of these
exercises.
It takes 2 arguments:
-
The value to assert. Can be anything, but is often an operation, like triple equals.
-
A short description. This makes it easy to communicate the intent of the test when reading it. This message appears in the output of a failed result.
😍 A passing test!
assert(1+1==2, '1+1 should be true!')
😞 A failing test!
assert(1+2==2, '1+1 should be true!')
Clone and change to that directory:
git clone git@github.com:bayleedev/promise-princess.git
cd promise-princess
There are no node package dependencies. But, ensure you are using node 8.5 or
newer in order for the perf_tools to be part of the core library.
Lyceum requests node 14, so you likely are already using a new enough verison.
node --version
To run, simply:
npm start
No need to keep your place, we'll do it for you. Just run the program and we'll pick up where you left off.
No worries, our friend Princess will help 💜
./runner.js and ./src
So, sure, you could just open these file, there's some neat things in there, but you might run into some spoilers.
Open at your own learning risk!
