Fluent assertions framework for Python

Fluentcheck

Fluent assertion framework for Python

Bored of using assert multiple times to check types, intervals, etc. on data passed as input to your Python functions? This generates a lot of boilerplate code.

fluentcheck helps you reducing the lines of code providing a human-friendly and fluent way to make assertions.

Instead of:

def my_function(n, obj):
    assert n is not None
    assert isinstance(n, float)
    assert 0. < n < 1.
    assert obj is not None
    assert isinstance(obj, MyCustomType)

you just streamline the assertions ("checks") you want to make, in a fluent way:

from fluentcheck import Check

def my_function(n, obj):
    Check(n).is_not_None().is_float().is_between(0., 1.)
    Check(obj).is_not_None().is_subtype_of(MyCustomType)

You can even use the alternate Is syntax:

from fluentcheck import Is

def my_function(n, obj):
    Is(n).not_none.float.between(0, 1)
    Is(obj).not_none.subtype_of(MyCustomType)

Fluentcheck can also be used as an assertion framework in tests.

Installation

pip install fluentcheck

or

python setup.py install

Only Python 3 is supported (because you DID update your code to Python3, didn't you?)

Usage

Check API

Simply instantiate the Check wrapper around the Python value you want to check out, then fluently append assertions like this:

from fluentcheck import Check

Check(my_value).assertion1().assertion2().assertion3() # and so on

Is API

Simply instantiate the Is wrapper around the Python value you want to check out, then fluently append assertions like this:

from fluentcheck import Is

Is(my_value).assertion1.assertion2_with_params(a, b).assertion3 # and so on

When an assertion fails

What if an assertion fails? A CheckError is raised: just catch it!

Please notice: if the order of assertions matters to your overall goal, then take care of it!

Linters and Is API

You may run into warnings for code such as this when using the Is API:

n = .4
Is(n).not_none.float.non_negative

# WARNING: Statement seems to have no effect ...

While not required for assertions to work, you can always "call" the last assertion to make linters happy:

n = .4
Is(n).not_none.float.non_negative()

# Happy, calling non_negative() has no effect but the linter warnings are gone.

What can I actually check with it?

To date, here's a list of assertions you can make:
