// Creating mock
let mockedFoo:Foo = mock(Foo);
// Getting instance from mock
let foo:Foo = instance(mockedFoo);
// Using instance in source code
foo.getBar(3);
foo.getBar(5);
// Explicit, readable verification
verify(mockedFoo.getBar(3)).called();
verify(mockedFoo.getBar(anything())).called();
// Creating mock
let mockedFoo:Foo = mock(Foo);
// stub method before execution
when(mockedFoo.getBar(3)).thenReturn('three');
// Getting instance
let foo:Foo = instance(mockedFoo);
// prints three
console.log(foo.getBar(3));
// prints null, because "getBar(999)" was not stubbed
console.log(foo.getBar(999));
// Creating mock
let mockedFoo:Foo = mock(Foo);
// stub getter before execution
when(mockedFoo.sampleGetter).thenReturn('three');
// Getting instance
let foo:Foo = instance(mockedFoo);
// prints three
console.log(foo.sampleGetter);
Syntax is the same as with getter values.
Please note, that stubbing properties that don't have getters only works if Proxy object is available (ES6).
// Creating mock
let mockedFoo:Foo = mock(Foo);
// Getting instance
let foo:Foo = instance(mockedFoo);
// Some calls
foo.getBar(1);
foo.getBar(2);
foo.getBar(2);
foo.getBar(3);
// Call count verification
verify(mockedFoo.getBar(1)).once(); // was called with arg === 1 only once
verify(mockedFoo.getBar(2)).twice(); // was called with arg === 2 exactly two times
verify(mockedFoo.getBar(between(2, 3))).thrice(); // was called with arg between 2-3 exactly three times
verify(mockedFoo.getBar(anyNumber()).times(4); // was called with any number arg exactly four times
verify(mockedFoo.getBar(2)).atLeast(2); // was called with arg === 2 min two times
verify(mockedFoo.getBar(anything())).atMost(4); // was called with any argument max four times
verify(mockedFoo.getBar(4)).never(); // was never called with arg === 4
// Creating mock
let mockedFoo:Foo = mock(Foo);
let mockedBar:Bar = mock(Bar);
// Getting instance
let foo:Foo = instance(mockedFoo);
let bar:Bar = instance(mockedBar);
// Some calls
foo.getBar(1);
bar.getFoo(2);
// Call order verification
verify(mockedFoo.getBar(1)).calledBefore(mockedBar.getFoo(2)); // foo.getBar(1) has been called before bar.getFoo(2)
verify(mockedBar.getFoo(2)).calledAfter(mockedFoo.getBar(1)); // bar.getFoo(2) has been called before foo.getBar(1)
verify(mockedFoo.getBar(1)).calledBefore(mockedBar.getFoo(999999)); // throws error (mockedBar.getFoo(999999) has never been called)
let mockedFoo:Foo = mock(Foo);
when(mockedFoo.getBar(10)).thenThrow(new Error('fatal error'));
let foo:Foo = instance(mockedFoo);
try {
foo.getBar(10);
} catch (error:Error) {
console.log(error.message); // 'fatal error'
}
You can also stub method with your own implementation
let mockedFoo:Foo = mock(Foo);
let foo:Foo = instance(mockedFoo);
when(mockedFoo.sumTwoNumbers(anyNumber(), anyNumber())).thenCall((arg1:number, arg2:number) => {
return arg1 * arg2;
});
// prints '50' because we've changed sum method implementation to multiply!
console.log(foo.sumTwoNumbers(5, 10));
You can also stub method to resolve / reject promise
let mockedFoo:Foo = mock(Foo);
when(mockedFoo.fetchData("a")).thenResolve({id: "a", value: "Hello world"});
when(mockedFoo.fetchData("b")).thenReject(new Error("b does not exist"));
You can reset just mock call counter
// Creating mock
let mockedFoo:Foo = mock(Foo);
// Getting instance
let foo:Foo = instance(mockedFoo);
// Some calls
foo.getBar(1);
foo.getBar(1);
verify(mockedFoo.getBar(1)).twice(); // getBar with arg "1" has been called twice
// Reset mock
resetCalls(mockedFoo);
// Call count verification
verify(mockedFoo.getBar(1)).never(); // has never been called after reset
You can also reset calls of multiple mocks at once resetCalls(firstMock, secondMock, thirdMock)
Or reset mock call counter with all stubs
// Creating mock
let mockedFoo:Foo = mock(Foo);
when(mockedFoo.getBar(1)).thenReturn("one").
// Getting instance
let foo:Foo = instance(mockedFoo);
// Some calls
console.log(foo.getBar(1)); // "one" - as defined in stub
console.log(foo.getBar(1)); // "one" - as defined in stub
verify(mockedFoo.getBar(1)).twice(); // getBar with arg "1" has been called twice
// Reset mock
reset(mockedFoo);
// Call count verification
verify(mockedFoo.getBar(1)).never(); // has never been called after reset
console.log(foo.getBar(1)); // null - previously added stub has been removed
You can also reset multiple mocks at once reset(firstMock, secondMock, thirdMock)
let mockedFoo:Foo = mock(Foo);
let foo:Foo = instance(mockedFoo);
// Call method
foo.sumTwoNumbers(1, 2);
// Check first arg captor values
const [firstArg, secondArg] = capture(mockedFoo.sumTwoNumbers).last();
console.log(firstArg); // prints 1
console.log(secondArg); // prints 2
You can also get other calls using first()
, second()
, byCallIndex(3)
and more...
You can set multiple returning values for same matching values
const mockedFoo:Foo = mock(Foo);
when(mockedFoo.getBar(anyNumber())).thenReturn('one').thenReturn('two').thenReturn('three');
const foo:Foo = instance(mockedFoo);
console.log(foo.getBar(1)); // one
console.log(foo.getBar(1)); // two
console.log(foo.getBar(1)); // three
console.log(foo.getBar(1)); // three - last defined behavior will be repeated infinitely
Another example with specific values
let mockedFoo:Foo = mock(Foo);
when(mockedFoo.getBar(1)).thenReturn('one').thenReturn('another one');
when(mockedFoo.getBar(2)).thenReturn('two');
let foo:Foo = instance(mockedFoo);
console.log(foo.getBar(1)); // one
console.log(foo.getBar(2)); // two
console.log(foo.getBar(1)); // another one
console.log(foo.getBar(1)); // another one - this is last defined behavior for arg '1' so it will be repeated
console.log(foo.getBar(2)); // two
console.log(foo.getBar(2)); // two - this is last defined behavior for arg '2' so it will be repeated
Short notation:
const mockedFoo:Foo = mock(Foo);
// You can specify return values as multiple thenReturn args
when(mockedFoo.getBar(anyNumber())).thenReturn('one', 'two', 'three');
const foo:Foo = instance(mockedFoo);
console.log(foo.getBar(1)); // one
console.log(foo.getBar(1)); // two
console.log(foo.getBar(1)); // three
console.log(foo.getBar(1)); // three - last defined behavior will be repeated infinity
Possible errors:
const mockedFoo:Foo = mock(Foo);
// When multiple matchers, matches same result:
when(mockedFoo.getBar(anyNumber())).thenReturn('one');
when(mockedFoo.getBar(3)).thenReturn('one');
const foo:Foo = instance(mockedFoo);
foo.getBar(3); // MultipleMatchersMatchSameStubError will be thrown, two matchers match same method call
You can mock interfaces too, just instead of passing type to mock
function, set mock
function generic type Mocking interfaces requires Proxy
implementation
let mockedFoo:Foo = mock<FooInterface>(); // instead of mock(FooInterface)
const foo: SampleGeneric<FooInterface> = instance(mockedFoo);
You can mock abstract classes
const mockedFoo: SampleAbstractClass = mock(SampleAbstractClass);
const foo: SampleAbstractClass = instance(mockedFoo);
You can also mock generic classes, but note that generic type is just needed by mock type definition
const mockedFoo: SampleGeneric<SampleInterface> = mock(SampleGeneric);
const foo: SampleGeneric<SampleInterface> = instance(mockedFoo);
You can partially mock an existing instance:
const foo: Foo = new Foo();
const spiedFoo = spy(foo);
when(spiedFoo.getBar(3)).thenReturn('one');
console.log(foo.getBar(3)); // 'one'
console.log(foo.getBaz()); // call to a real method
You can spy on plain objects too:
const foo = { bar: () => 42 };
const spiedFoo = spy(foo);
foo.bar();
console.log(capture(spiedFoo.bar).last()); // [42]

If you are undertaking a mobile app development for your start-up or enterprise, you are likely wondering whether to use React Native. As a popular development framework, React Native helps you to develop near-native mobile apps. However, you are probably also wondering how close you can get to a native app by using React Native. How native is React Native?
In the article, we discuss the similarities between native mobile development and development using React Native. We also touch upon where they differ and how to bridge the gaps. Read on.
Let’s briefly set the context first. We will briefly touch upon what React Native is and how it differs from earlier hybrid frameworks.
React Native is a popular JavaScript framework that Facebook has created. You can use this open-source framework to code natively rendering Android and iOS mobile apps. You can use it to develop web apps too.
Facebook has developed React Native based on React, its JavaScript library. The first release of React Native came in March 2015. At the time of writing this article, the latest stable release of React Native is 0.62.0, and it was released in March 2020.
Although relatively new, React Native has acquired a high degree of popularity. The “Stack Overflow Developer Survey 2019” report identifies it as the 8th most loved framework. Facebook, Walmart, and Bloomberg are some of the top companies that use React Native.
The popularity of React Native comes from its advantages. Some of its advantages are as follows:
Are you wondering whether React Native is just another of those hybrid frameworks like Ionic or Cordova? It’s not! React Native is fundamentally different from these earlier hybrid frameworks.
React Native is very close to native. Consider the following aspects as described on the React Native website:
Due to these factors, React Native offers many more advantages compared to those earlier hybrid frameworks. We now review them.

Perl script converts PDF files to Gerber format
Pdf2Gerb generates Gerber 274X photoplotting and Excellon drill files from PDFs of a PCB. Up to three PDFs are used: the top copper layer, the bottom copper layer (for 2-sided PCBs), and an optional silk screen layer. The PDFs can be created directly from any PDF drawing software, or a PDF print driver can be used to capture the Print output if the drawing software does not directly support output to PDF.
The general workflow is as follows:
Please note that Pdf2Gerb does NOT perform DRC (Design Rule Checks), as these will vary according to individual PCB manufacturer conventions and capabilities. Also note that Pdf2Gerb is not perfect, so the output files must always be checked before submitting them. As of version 1.6, Pdf2Gerb supports most PCB elements, such as round and square pads, round holes, traces, SMD pads, ground planes, no-fill areas, and panelization. However, because it interprets the graphical output of a Print function, there are limitations in what it can recognize (or there may be bugs).
See docs/Pdf2Gerb.pdf for install/setup, config, usage, and other info.
#Pdf2Gerb config settings:
#Put this file in same folder/directory as pdf2gerb.pl itself (global settings),
#or copy to another folder/directory with PDFs if you want PCB-specific settings.
#There is only one user of this file, so we don't need a custom package or namespace.

When it comes to design, it has long been said that simplicity is key. And although I always understood the basis for this saying, I never fully appreciated what it really meant.
As a beginner it is natural to want to show all your ability by wowing your audience. And as a teacher I see my students making this mistake often. They try to build out features as much as possible and try to showcase every aspect of their ability. As many of you know, this approach does not always result in the most aesthetically pleasing design, let alone the most user friendly experience. This is why I have stressed the importance of simplicity to all my students from the first day I started teaching.
For our latest project, I assigned teams of 4 to each create a prototype for a design application.
