Installation

The recommended approach to setup mochapack is to install it locally in your project's directory.

# install mocha, webpack & mochapack as devDependencies
$ npm install --save-dev mocha webpack mochapack

This will install mocha, webpack and mochapack packages in your project directory into node_modules and also store them as devDependencies in your package.json.

Congratulations, you are ready to run mochapack for the first time in your project!

# display version of mochapack
$ node ./node_modules/mochapack/bin/mochapack --version

# display available commands & options of mochapack
$ node ./node_modules/mochapack/bin/mochapack --help

Using npm scripts

Typing node ./node_modules/mochapack/bin/mochapack .... is just annoying and you might find it useful to configure your run commands as npm scripts inside your package.json.

package.json

...
"scripts": {
    "test": "mochapack --webpack-config webpack.config-test.js \"src/**/*.test.js\"",
  },
...

This allows you to run your test command simply by just typing npm run test (or if you prefer yarn yarn run test).

In addition, the defined command tells mochapack to use the provided webpack config file webpack.config-test.js and to execute all tests matching the pattern "src/**/*.test.js".

Note: You may noticed the quotes around the glob pattern. That's unfortunately necessary as most terminals will resolve globs automatically.

For more installation details please have a look at the subchapter of the installation section.
