jasmine VS Standard

Jasmine is a behavior-driven development framework for testing JavaScript code. It's known for its clean, straightforward syntax and does not rely on any other JavaScript frameworks or a Document Object Model (DOM). Jasmine is often praised for its simplicity and ease of use in both frontend and backend testing environments.

The test frameworks section provides an in-depth look at MochaJS, Jest, Jasmine, Puppeteer, Selenium, and Playwright. We review each framework's ease of use, community support, and overall robustness, supplemented with example unit tests.

Vitest makes it effortless to migrate from Jest. It supports the same Jasmine like API.

Internet Explorer is not actively tested anymore due to Internet Explorer retiring on June 15, 2022 and jasmine v4 has dropped IE support https://github.com/jasmine/jasmine/blob/main/release_notes/4.0.0.md

To execute your tests, you can create test scripts using popular testing frameworks like Mocha, Jasmine, or Jest. These frameworks provide a structured way to organize and run your tests, report results, and handle assertions.

Testing frameworks like Jest, Mocha, and Jasmine are crucial for software development, ensuring code reliability and correctness. They offer features like test suites, test cases, assertions, and asynchronous testing support.

The test framework used does matter for naming, because in some frameworks you'd use different naming conventions (i.e. the fluent naming used with https://jasmine.github.io/)

I picked up standard[1] a while back for this reason, I don't want to have to think about it. It works fine, I have no complaints (took me a while to get used to not using semi-colons but now I prefer it) Same reason I use `cargo fmt` as well.

For example, if you use https://standardjs.com/ - it will error on your second code snippet and if you ask it for an autofix - it will transfer the minus sign to the first line.

In comparison, JavaScript doesn't have a strict coding standard, although it does have widely accepted code style guides like the Airbnb JavaScript Style Guide and the JavaScript Standard Style. These guides provide recommendations for code formatting and naming conventions, but they are not as strictly enforced as the Java coding standard.
