The Hidden Blast Radius of the Axios Compromise
The Axios compromise shows how time-dependent dependency resolution makes exposure harder to detect and contain.

4.0.2
npm install asserts --save
or in package.json
{
...
"dependencies": {
"asserts": "4.0.2"
}
}
NOTE: Examples below work but are out of date in demonstrating current functionality (particularly async support, .dir, and .all.*) check test/test.js for better examples.
examples/happy.js looks like this:
var Assert = require('assert');
var Asserts = require('asserts');
Asserts({
foo : function() {
Assert.equal("something", "something", "optional message");
Assert.equal(2, 2);
},
barf : {
ing : function () {
Assert.equal(1, 1, "okay");
},
ed : function() {
Assert.equal(2, 2, "yep");
}
}
});
and when run looks like this:

examples/sad.js looks like this:
var Assert = require('assert');
var Asserts = require('asserts');
Asserts({
"foo": function() {
Assert.equal("something", "something", "optional message");
Assert.equal(2, 2);
},
"barf" : {
"ing": function () {
Assert.equal(1, 1, "okay");
},
"ed": function() {
Assert.equal(2, 3, "yep");
},
"o": {
"rama": function() {
Assert.equal(2, 10, "MATH");
},
"hnooooo": function() {
Assert.equal(1, 1);
}
}
},
"meh": function() {
Assert.equal(1, 2, "oh nooooo");
}
});
and when run looks like this:

Check test/test.js for example of Asserts.dir and Asserts.['equal', 'notEqual', 'deepEqual', 'notDeepEqual', 'strictEqual', 'notStrictEqual']
#TODO
add better documentation for 4.0.0 stuff - async support, .all., .dir
