Learn Javascript by testing

You can learn javascript by running tests on this repository and replacing expect(solvme) by the expect(value).

Setup

Specs are numbered. Start with spec 0, and when you finish continue with 1 and so on.

It is necessary to finish the previous number to start with the following.

Some specs have blocks encolsed by:

xdescribe("complete later", () => {
  // more tests here
});

They provide useful insights about some Javascript features, but they are designed to solve later by yourself when the workshop is finished.

Jest is the test runner used here. It is really simple and fast.

If you start the project you will see a large number of tests failing. You will solve them, but so many errors may distract you.

To focus in a test you can:

Ask to filter by filename regex pattern: for example, use the number of the current test that you are solving.
Use force test: replace it(...) by fit(...) (just and f before the test) to the test that you want to solve, it will ignore all other tests and you will focus on that.
