You can install the library using your preferred package manager:

npm install @liorchamla/approval-utils

yarn add @liorchamla/approval-utils

pnpm add @liorchamla/approval-utils

@liorchamla/approval-utils is a utility library designed to simplify approval testing (also known as golden master testing) in combination with Vitest. Approval testing is a method of testing where you capture the output of your system and compare it to a previously approved version of that output. If the outputs match, the test passes; otherwise, it fails.

Here is a simple example of how you might use these utilities in a test:

import { spy, approveCombinations } from '@liorchamla/approval-utils'

function exampleFunction(a: number, b: number) {
    return a + b
}

// Define possible parameter values
const paramsSet = [
    [1, 2],
    [3, 4]
]

// Approve all combinations
approveCombinations('exampleFunction', exampleFunction, paramsSet)

In this example, approveCombinations will test exampleFunction with all combinations of 1, 2 and 3, 4 and compare the output to the approved golden master.
