Browserslist-rs Gets Major Refactor, Cutting Binary Size by Over 1MB
Browserslist-rs now uses static data to reduce binary size by over 1MB, improving memory use and performance for Rust-based frontend tools.
istanbul-lib-report
Advanced tools
The istanbul-lib-report package is a library for generating code coverage reports in various formats. It is part of the Istanbul code coverage tooling ecosystem and provides a way to create detailed and summary coverage reports based on the coverage data collected during test execution. This package is typically used in conjunction with other Istanbul libraries to collect and process coverage information.
Creating a coverage report
This code demonstrates how to generate an HTML coverage report using istanbul-lib-report. It involves creating a report context with the output directory and coverage map, then executing the report generation with the desired format ('html' in this case).
const libReport = require('istanbul-lib-report');
const reports = require('istanbul-reports');
let context = libReport.createContext({
dir: './coverage', // Output directory
watermarks: libReport.getDefaultWatermarks(),
coverageMap: coverageMap // Assume coverageMap is previously defined
});
let report = reports.create('html', {
projectRoot: './'
});
report.execute(context);
Configuring watermarks for coverage thresholds
This example shows how to configure watermarks for coverage thresholds in a report. Watermarks define the color coding of coverage results (e.g., red for low coverage, yellow for medium, green for high). The thresholds are set for statements, functions, branches, and lines.
const libReport = require('istanbul-lib-report');
let context = libReport.createContext({
dir: './coverage',
watermarks: {
statements: [50, 80],
functions: [50, 80],
branches: [50, 80],
lines: [50, 80]
},
coverageMap: coverageMap
});
nyc is a command line interface and a higher-level wrapper around Istanbul, offering a simpler way to collect and report code coverage. It integrates with Istanbul libraries but provides additional features like process spawning and support for ES2015. Compared to istanbul-lib-report, nyc is more of a complete toolset rather than a library focused on reporting.
Coveralls is a web service to help you track your code coverage over time, and ensure that all your new code is fully covered. While not a direct alternative to istanbul-lib-report, it can be used in conjunction with Istanbul to provide detailed coverage reports and history in a CI/CD environment. It focuses more on the integration and visualization of coverage data rather than the generation of reports.
Codecov is another web service similar to Coveralls, offering features to track code coverage, see how it changes over time, and ensure that pull requests do not reduce coverage. It integrates with CI tools and version control systems to provide detailed reports and analytics. Like Coveralls, Codecov is complementary to istanbul-lib-report, focusing on the aggregation and visualization of coverage data.
