## Introduction

The Assertables Rust crate provides many assert macros that can help you
develop, test, and debug.

This documentation is also available as
[llms.txt](https://github.com/sixarm/assertables-rust-crate/llms.txt).

* Test values with
  [assert_lt](https://docs.rs/assertables/9.8.3/assertables/assert_lt),
  [assert_gt](https://docs.rs/assertables/9.8.3/assertables/assert_gt),
  [assert_in](https://docs.rs/assertables/9.8.3/assertables/assert_in),
  […](https://docs.rs/assertables)
* Test groups with
  [assert_all](https://docs.rs/assertables/9.8.3/assertables/assert_all),
  [assert_any](https://docs.rs/assertables/9.8.3/assertables/assert_any),
  [assert_iter](https://docs.rs/assertables/9.8.3/assertables/assert_iter),
  […](https://docs.rs/assertables)
* Test wrappers with
  [assert_ok](https://docs.rs/assertables/9.8.3/assertables/assert_ok),
  [assert_some](https://docs.rs/assertables/9.8.3/assertables/assert_some),
  [assert_ready](https://docs.rs/assertables/9.8.3/assertables/assert_ready),
  […](https://docs.rs/assertables)
* Test matching with
  [assert_matches](https://docs.rs/assertables/9.8.3/assertables/assert_matches),
  [assert_is_match](https://docs.rs/assertables/9.8.3/assertables/assert_is_match),
  […](https://docs.rs/assertables)
* Test nearness with
  [assert_approx](https://docs.rs/assertables/9.8.3/assertables/assert_approx),
  [assert_abs_diff](https://docs.rs/assertables/9.8.3/assertables/assert_abs_diff),
  […](https://docs.rs/assertables/)
* Test programs with
  [assert_command](https://docs.rs/assertables/9.8.3/assertables/assert_command),
  [assert_status](https://docs.rs/assertables/9.8.3/assertables/assert_staus),
  […](https://docs.rs/assertables)
* Many more below.

To use this crate, add it to your file `Cargo.toml`:

```toml
assertables = "9.8.3"
```

Benefits:

* You can write better tests to improve reliability and maintainability.
* You can handle more corner cases without needing to write custom code.
* You can troubleshoot faster because error messages show more detail.

For a complete list of modules and macros, see the [docs](https://docs.rs/assertables/).

## Forms

All the macros have forms for an optional message:

* [`assert_gt!(a, b)`](https://docs.rs/assertables/9.8.3/assertables/macro.assert_gt.html) `// default message`
* [`assert_gt!(a, b, "your text")`](https://docs.rs/assertables/9.8.3/assertables/macro.assert_gt.html) `// custom message`

All the macros have forms for different outcomes:

* [`assert_gt!(1, 2)`](https://docs.rs/assertables/9.8.3/assertables/macro.assert_gt.html) `// panic`
* [`assert_gt_as_result!(1, 2)`](https://docs.rs/assertables/9.8.3/assertables/macro.assert_gt_as_result.html) `return Result`
* [`debug_assert_gt!(a, b)`](https://docs.rs/assertables/9.8.3/assertables/macro.debug_assert_gt.html) `// panic in debug mode`

Many of the macros have a form "compare left item to right item" that compares
items of the same kind, and a form "compare left item to right expression" that
compares one item to any arbitrary expression:

* [`assert_len_eq!(a, b)`](https://docs.rs/assertables/9.8.3/assertables/macro.assert_ok_eq.html) `// a.len() = b.len()`
* [`assert_len_eq_x!(a, x)`](https://docs.rs/assertables/9.8.3/assertables/macro.assert_ok_eq_x.html) `// a.len() = x`

Many of the macros has a "success return", which means the macro returns data that you can optionally use for more testing.

* [`let inner = assert_ok!(result)`](https://docs.rs/assertables/9.8.3/assertables/macro.assert_ok.html)
* [`let string = assert_fs_read_to_string_ne!("alfa.txt", "")`](https://docs.rs/assertables/9.8.3/assertables/macro.assert_fs_read_to_string_ne.html)
* [`let stdout = assert_command_stdout_gt!("ls", vec![b' '])`](https://docs.rs/assertables/9.8.3/assertables/macro.assert_command_stdout_gt.html)
