+# borp
+
+Borp is a typescript-aware runner for tests written using `node:test`.
+It also support code coverage via [c8](http://npm.im/c8).
+
+Borp is self-hosted, i.e. Borp runs its own tests.
+
+## Install
+
+```bash
+npm i borp --save-dev
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+```bash
+borp --coverage
+```
+
+Borp will autumatically run all tests files matching `*.test.{js|ts}`.
+
+### Example project setup
+
+As an example, consider having a `src/add.ts` file  
+
+```typescript
+export function add (x: number, y: number): number {
+  return x + y
+}
+```
+
+and a `test/add.test.ts` file:
+
+```typescript
+import { test } from 'node:test'
+import { add } from '../src/add.js'
+import { strictEqual } from 'node:assert'
+
+test('add', () => {
+  strictEqual(add(1, 2), 3)
+})
+```
+
+and the following `tsconfig`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "$schema": "https://json.schemastore.org/tsconfig",
+  "compilerOptions": {
+    "outDir": "dist",
+    "sourceMap": true,
+    "target": "ES2022",
+    "module": "NodeNext",
+    "moduleResolution": "NodeNext",
+    "esModuleInterop": true,
+    "strict": true,
+    "resolveJsonModule": true,
+    "removeComments": true,
+    "newLine": "lf",
+    "noUnusedLocals": true,
+    "noFallthroughCasesInSwitch": true,
+    "isolatedModules": true,
+    "forceConsistentCasingInFileNames": true,
+    "skipLibCheck": true,
+    "lib": [
+      "ESNext"
+    ],
+    "incremental": true
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Note the use of `incremental: true`, which speed up compilation massively.
+
+## Options
+
+* `--coverage` or `-C`, enables code coverage
+* `--only` or `-o`, only run `node:test` with the `only` option set  
+* `--watch` or `-w`, re-run tests on changes
+* `--timeout` or `-t`, timeouts the tests after a given time; default is 30000 ms
+* `--coverage-exclude` or `-X`, a list of comma-separated patterns to exclude from the coverage report. All tests files are ignored by default.
