power-assert is a library that empowers your JavaScript assertions with rich diagnostic information. Unlike basic assert, it intercepts values within the expression, revealing exactly why an assertion failed. This provides more context for debugging, showing the values of variables and sub-expressions that contributed to the false assertion. Ideal for enhancing test readability and quickly pinpointing failure causes, power-assert integrates seamlessly with popular testing frameworks.
Power-assert's npm downloads show a general upward trend from March 2024 to July 2025, peaking at 884,360. August 2025 saw a slight decrease, with September 2025 downloads significantly lower, possibly due to the month not being complete.
