ES6 Mocha Snippets for Visual Studio Code!

Mocha snippets for Visual Studio Code using ES6 syntax. The focus is to keep the code dry leveraging arrow functions and omitting curlies by where possible. The snippets use the Mocha function names for ease of memory that way you don't need to learn new names.

Customize the snippets

In your "User Settings" or workspace settings you an configure the snippets to fit your needs. You will need to restart VS Code make them active.

Semicolons

Turn semicolons on or off. Defaults to true.

{
    "mocha-snippets.semicolon": boolean
}

Custom prefix

Use this to add a custom prefix to the snippet. For example if input here 'm-' if you want the snippets to appear when you type m-. Defaults to empty string.

{
    "mocha-snippets.custom-prefix": string
}

Custom Glob Pattern

Use this to add a custom glob pattern that you want this extension to apply to. Example '**/*.spec.ts'. Defaults to empty string.

{
    "mocha-snippets.glob": string
}

Include arrow functions, normal functions, or both

Use this setting to filter which type of functions you want to use in your snippets. Defaults to 'both'.

{
    "mocha-snippets.function-type": 'arrow' | 'function' | 'both'
}

Use single or double quotes

Use this setting to choose the type of quotes you prefer in the snippets that have quotes. Defaults to 'single'.

{
    "mocha-snippets.quote-type": 'single' | 'double'
}

      });
  });
  

• Describe (describe)

  describe('some thing', () => {
  
  });
  

• It (it)

  it('can do the thing', () => {
  
  });
  

• Context And It (contextAndIt)

  context('some thing', () => {
      it('can do the thing', () => {
  
      });
  });
  

• Context (context)

  context('some thing', () => {
  
  });
  

TDD

• Suite (suite)

  suite('some thing', () => {
  
  });
  

• Suite Setup (suiteSetup)

  suiteSetup(() => {
  
  });
  

• Suite Teardown (suiteTeardown)

  suiteTeardown(() => {
  
  });
  

• Setup (setup)

  setup(() => {
  
  });
  

• Teardown (teardown)

  teardown(() => {
  
  });
  

• Teardown (teardown)

  teardown(() => {
  
  });
  

• Test (test)

  test('the thing', () => {
  
  });
  

• Entire Suite (entireSuite)

  suite('some thing', () => {
  
      suiteSetup(() => { });
  
      test('some functionality', () => {
  
      });
  
      suiteTeardown(() => { });
  
  });
  

Exports

• Exports Suite (exportsSuite)

  exports.Foo = {
      'Foobar': {
          'should foo the bar': () => {
  
          },
      }
  };
  

Arrow Functions

Mocha discourage passing arrow functions (more here). If you don't want to pass arrow functions you can use the f prefix on every snippet:

BDD

• Before Function (fbefore)

  before(function () {});
  

• Before with Description Function (fbeforeDescription)

  before('', function () {});
  

• Before Each Function (fbeforeEach)

  beforeEach(function () {});
  

• Before Each with Description Function (fbeforeEach)

  beforeEach('', function () {});
  

• After Function (fafter)

  after(function () {});
  

• After with Description Function (fafterDescription)

  after('', function () {});
  

• After Each Function (fafterEach)

  afterEach(function () {});
  

• After Each with Description Function (fafterEach)

  afterEach('', function () {});
  

• Describe Function (fdescribe)

  describe('', function () {});
  

• Describe and It Function (fdescribeAndIt)

  describe('', function () {
    it('', function () {});
  });
