browserify-istanbul

A browserify transform for the istanbul code coverage tool.

Installing

npm install --save-dev browserify-istanbul

Usage

There are several ways to register browserify transforms: on the command line, in your package.json, or using the browserify API. You can use all of these with browserify-istanbul: see the browserify docs for more info.

There are a few options available to browserify-istanbul when you use it from JavaScript. They are shown in the following code example:

var istanbul = require('browserify-istanbul');

// use without any options...
browserifyBundle.transform(istanbul);

// or with some options...
browserifyBundle.transform(istanbul({
  // ignore these glob paths (the ones shown are the defaults)
  ignore: ['**/node_modules/**', '**/bower_components/**', '**/test/**', '**/tests/**', '**/*.json'],

  // by default, any paths you include in the ignore option are ignored
  // in addition to the defaults. set the defaultIgnore option to false
  // to only ignore the paths you specify.
  defaultIgnore: true
}));

Command line

• without options:

./node_modules/.bin/browserify -t browserify-istanbul test/test-*.js -o bundle.js

• with options

./node_modules/.bin/browserify -t [ browserify-istanbul --ignore "**/bower_components/**" ] test/test-*.js -o bundle.js

Interacting With Coverage Reports

To load and manipulate coverage reports, the command line tool nyc can be used:

1. output the the __coverage__ object to ./.nyc_output/coverage.json.

• this can be facilitated using a library like mocha-phantomjs-istanbul.

2. execute nyc with a list of reporters.

• nyc report --reporter=lcov --reporter=text-summary.

See istanbul.js.org for more examples and documentation.
