assertsrather

assertsrather is a JavaScript library designed to simplify the process of writing assertions within tests. It provides a fluent API that aims to make assertion code more readable and expressive. Instead of using traditional, often verbose, assertion functions, users can chain methods together to construct more natural-language-like statements.

The core concept behind assertsrather is to allow developers to state what they expect in a way that closely resembles how they would describe the condition in plain English. For example, instead of `expect(user.name).toBe('Alice');`, one might write `assertsrather(user.name).is('Alice');`. This approach is intended to reduce the cognitive load when reading and writing tests, making them easier to understand and maintain.

The library supports a variety of assertion types, including checks for equality, inequality, truthiness, falsiness, presence, absence, and even more complex conditions involving arrays and objects. It is often used in conjunction with JavaScript testing frameworks like Jest, Mocha, or Jasmine, where it can replace or augment the built-in assertion utilities. The goal is to enhance the developer experience by providing a more intuitive and less error-prone way to verify the behavior of code during testing.
