Introduction to Codecov

Codecov is a powerful tool that helps developers measure and improve code coverage with seamless integration into any workflow. This CI/CD tool provides actionable insights through extensive coverage reports and enables better testing practices.

Getting Started with Codecov

Using Codecov, you can streamline your development process and ensure your code is both well-tested and high quality. Below, we will explore a range of Codecov APIs along with code snippets for practical understanding.

API Examples

Uploading a Report

To upload a report to Codecov, use the following API:

  curl -X POST \
    -H "Content-Type: text/plain" \
    --data-binary @coverage.txt \
    https://codecov.io/upload/v4?token=your_token

Getting Repository Information

You can retrieve information about a specific repository:

  curl https://codecov.io/api/gh/user/repo

Listing Repository Commits

To get a list of commits for a particular repository:

  curl https://codecov.io/api/gh/user/repo/commits

Fetching a Specific Commit’s Report

To fetch the coverage report details for a specific commit:

  curl https://codecov.io/api/gh/user/repo/commit/

Application Example

Let’s build a small Node.js application and integrate Codecov to track its code coverage.

Setup the Project

  mkdir myapp
  cd myapp
  npm init -y
  npm install --save-dev jest codecov

Add a Simple Test

  // sum.js
  function sum(a, b) {
    return a + b;
  }
  module.exports = sum;

  // sum.test.js
  const sum = require('./sum');
  test('adds 1 + 2 to equal 3', () => {
    expect(sum(1, 2)).toBe(3);
  });

Configure Jest

Add the following section to your package.json to configure Jest:

  "scripts": {
    "test": "jest --coverage"
  }

Run Tests and Upload Coverage

Finally, run your tests and upload the coverage report to Codecov:

  npm test
  ./node_modules/.bin/codecov

By following these steps, you can effectively integrate Codecov into your development workflow and ensure that your code remains robust and well-tested.
