Because they're written in plain language, they can be read by anyone on your team. Because they can be read by anyone, you can use them to help improve communication, collaboration and trust on your team. This is the JavaScript implementation of Cucumber. It runs on [maintained versions](https://github.com/nodejs/Release) of Node.js. You can [quickly try it via CodeSandbox](https://codesandbox.io/s/cucumber-js-demo-2p3vrl?file=/features/greeting.feature), or read on to get started locally in a couple of minutes. Looking to contribute? Read our [code of conduct](https://github.com/cucumber/.github/blob/main/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md) first, then check the [contributing guide](./CONTRIBUTING.md) to get up and running. ## Install Cucumber is [available on npm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@cucumber/cucumber): ```shell $ npm install @cucumber/cucumber ``` ## Get Started Let's take this example of something to test: First, write your main code in `src/index.js`: ```js class Greeter { sayHello() { return 'hello' } } module.exports = { Greeter } ``` Then, write your feature in `features/greeting.feature`: ```gherkin Feature: Greeting Scenario: Say hello When the greeter says hello Then I should have heard "hello" ``` Next, implement your steps in `features/support/steps.js`: ```js const assert = require('assert') const { When, Then } = require('@cucumber/cucumber') const { Greeter } = require('../../src') When('the greeter says hello', function () { this.whatIHeard = new Greeter().sayHello() }); Then('I should have heard {string}', function (expectedResponse) { assert.equal(this.whatIHeard, expectedResponse) }); ``` Finally, run Cucumber: ```shell $ npx cucumber-js ``` And see the output: ![Terminal output showing a successful test run with 1 scenario and 2 steps, all passing](./docs/images/readme-output.png) If you learn best by example, we have [a repo with several example projects](https://github.com/cucumber/cucumber-js-examples), that might help you get going. ## Documentation The following documentation is for `main`, which might contain some unreleased features.
