Fully Featured Code Grading
Knowing if you need to work on your code is important- that's why we grade your code automatically. But, unlike other code-grading solutions, we let you choose how you want to be graded. If you project isn't supposed to have a bunch of comments, why should your grade drop because you don't have enough comments? We beat our competitors because you get to choose what you want to work on.
Lightweight, Feature-Rich Testing Suite
Our testing system gets as close-to-the-metal as possible. What this means for you is that the tests run fast, and since they run on JavaScript's V8 engine, everything you expect to happen, will happen. Nothing can be simplier than writing tests for the EaF linter, its as easy as writing things in plain English. Don't believe me, look at the code below!
describe(`A simple test!`, () => {
expect(32 + 8).toBe(40); // passing
expect(20 * 40).toBeGreaterThan(40 * 40); // failed
expect("New String").toExist().and().length().toBe(10); // passing
});Code Linter and Smell Detector
Our code-linter is built using an Abstract Syntax Tree approach. This allows for the code to be quickly and easily restructured into a more performant and readible program. Our linter also supports custom piping. This means that users can define scripts tell how they would like the resulting code to look. If you don't want to use custom scripts, we already have tons of prebuilt scripts just for you.
Customizable Beautifier
We have one of the most customizable code beautifiers in the JavaScript world. You can choose how you want spacing to work, if you want semicolins, how comments should be structured, how variable naming should work, etc. And, since our beautifier works alongside our code linter, you can also choose things like: should all methods be changed to arrow functions? should only let and const be allowed as variable declarors? should object properties be arranged by alphabetical order?
Performance Analysis Tool
In Progress
Performance anaylsis is very important, especially if you are managing a ton of data that has rapid changes to it. That is why EaF offers some of the most robust and detailed tools for measuring your codes execution time. We will run it in thousands of test cases, and you can setup different scenarios to make sure that the code you put out, stays on top.
Documentation Generator
In Progress
For Github Actions
When we were building EaF, we realized that most of its users will want to use it for continous integration and development. That is why we are one of the first NPM packages that is designed not to be downloaded, you can just run EaF with the npx command- its that easy. You don't need any special command parameters or files that stink up your root directory- our impact is as minimal as possible. If you really want to customize EaF, just add what you want to the package.json file.
