{"library":"mocha-banner","title":"Mocha Banner","description":"Mocha Banner is a utility specifically designed for the Mocha testing framework, offering a visual enhancement to test output. It generates a terminal-wide banner displaying the name of the current test or test suite before its execution, aiding in readability and navigation through extensive test logs. The current stable version is 1.1.2, released in March 2018. The project's release cadence has been infrequent since its initial development. Its primary differentiator is providing clear, prominent visual demarcation between tests, which can significantly improve the debugging and review process, especially in environments where many tests run sequentially. It builds upon the `terminal-banner` package for its core rendering capabilities and is typically integrated as a development dependency.","language":"javascript","status":"maintenance","last_verified":"Sun Apr 19","install":{"commands":["npm install mocha-banner"],"cli":null},"imports":["require('mocha-banner').register()"],"auth":{"required":false,"env_vars":[]},"quickstart":{"code":"// In your Mocha test setup file (e.g., test/setup.js or directly in spec files)\n// ensure this runs before your actual test suites.\n\n// To enable banners for all tests:\nrequire('mocha-banner').register();\n\n// Example suite\ndescribe('My Application Features', () => {\n  it('should handle user login successfully', () => {\n    // Test logic here\n    console.log('Running login test...');\n  });\n\n  describe('Advanced User Operations', () => {\n    // To enable banners only for this suite and its children, place register() inside:\n    // require('mocha-banner').register();\n\n    it('should allow users to update their profile', () => {\n      // Test logic here\n      console.log('Running profile update test...');\n    });\n  });\n});","lang":"javascript","description":"Demonstrates how to globally enable the terminal banner for Mocha tests, and how to scope it to specific test suites.","tag":null,"tag_description":null,"last_tested":null,"results":[]},"compatibility":null}
