*whispering* sometimes its okay to just have a top-level variable in your file that you use as "global state" ... you dont need to drastically restructure your code for one tiny stateful thing ... its still possible to write good tests ... it does not make you a bad developer
// This dreaded "global state" does not make you a terrible developer. let connection = null // Look this isn't so bad... function db() { assert(connection != null, "Call connect() first") return connection } // Your database tests can know they need to call this every time export async function connect() { assert(connection == null, "Do not call connect() twice") connection = new Database() await connection.connect() } // And this one after each test... export function close() { assert(connection != null, "I cannot close() what is not opened") connection.close() connection = null } // Look how nice it will be to just import this function directly export function booksList() { return db().query("SELECT * FROM books").all() } // Or this one... do you really need some DatabaseServiceFactoryController? export function booksGet(id) { return db().query("SELECT * FROM books WHERE id = ?").get([id]) } // The answer is no, feel free to be a little bit bad export function booksAdd({ title }) { return db().query("INSERT INTO books (title) VALUES (?)").run([title]) }

Well 2025 was a good year for books!

Total Read: 62

Favourite Fiction: Heartstopper
Utterly compelling, beautifully written and illustrated.

Favourite Non-Fiction: Is a River Alive?
Stirring, sad, maddening and hopeful - just wonderful.

"Still Life* *By Alex London (Author), Paul O. Zelinsky (Illustrator)* *Greenwillow BooksList price depends on seller." #copolitics
Park Hill Community Bookstore suggests the whimsical and serious
The Denver nonprofit recommends a tale of still life that won't hold still, a Sinclair Lewis classic and a humorous take on lonely hearts.
