If you want more, consider using the `@tapjs/sinon` plugin.) - [`@tapjs/filter`](https://github.com/tapjs/tapjs/tree/main/src/filter) Adds `t.only()` and support for the `--grep` and `--only` cli options. - optional plugins: - [`@tapjs/nock`](https://github.com/tapjs/tapjs/tree/main/src/nock) Optional plugin providing `t.nock()` method (descendent of `@npmjs/tap-nock`, and a significant inspiration for tap's plugin architecture) - [`@tapjs/clock`](https://github.com/tapjs/tapjs/tree/main/src/clock) Optional plugin providing a [clock-mock](https://github.com/isaacs/clock-mock) object on `t.clock` - [`@tapjs/sinon`](https://github.com/tapjs/tapjs/tree/main/src/sinon) Optional plugin providing a [Sinon](https://sinonjs.org) sandbox at `t.sinon` that automatically restores at the end of the test. - [`@tapjs/esbuild-kit`](https://github.com/tapjs/tapjs/tree/main/src/esbuild-kit) Optional plugin that loads TypeScript using [`@esbuild-kit/cjs-loader`](https://github.com/esbuild-kit/cjs-loader) and [`@esbuild-kit/esm-loader`](https://github.com/esbuild-kit/esm-loader) instead of [`ts-node`](https://github.com/TypeStrong/ts-node). - other stuff: - [npm-init-template](https://github.com/tapjs/tapjs/tree/main/src/npm-init-template) A library for more easily creating `npm init` packages. This will move out as soon as this version of tap is published. - [`@tapjs/create-plugin`](https://github.com/tapjs/tapjs/tree/main/src/create-plugin) An `npm init` library facilitating `npm init @tapjs/plugin` to create new plugins. ## Bootstrap and `skipLibCheck` Run `npm run bootstrap` to build the `@tapjs/test` module with the default set of plugins, so that the other libraries can build properly. (This only has to be done once, unless the build script or set of default plugins are changed, of course.) Because there's a bootstrapping cycle between `@tapjs/core`, `@tapjs/test`, and all of the plugins, they MUST use `skipLibCheck: true` in their tsconfigs. It should not be used in other packages.
