This module mocks Date and Date.now in order to help you test time-dependent code. It provides travel and freeze functionality for your Node.js tests.
npm install --save-dev timekeepervar tk = require('timekeeper');
var time = new Date(1330688329321);
tk.freeze(time);
// The time hasn't changed at all.
var date = new Date;
var ms = Date.now();
tk.reset(); // Reset.var tk = require('timekeeper');
var time = new Date(1893448800000); // January 1, 2030 00:00:00
tk.travel(time); // Travel to that date.
setTimeout(function() {
// `time` + ~500 ms.
var date = new Date;
var ms = Date.now();
tk.reset(); // Reset.
}, 500);Note: If traveling when time is frozen, the time will be frozen to the new traveled time.
var tk = require('timekeeper');
var time = new Date(1893448800000); // January 1, 2030 00:00:00
assertFalse(tk.isKeepingTime());
tk.travel(time);
assertTrue(tk.isKeepingTime());Inspired by the timecop ruby gem.
