What is this project?

DAV (Decentralized Autonomous Vehicles) is a new foundation working to build an open-source infrastructure for autonomous vehicles (cars, drones, trucks, robots, and all the service providers around them) to communicate and transact with each other over blockchain.

As an organization that believes in building a large community of open-source contributors, we often create issues like this one to help people take their first few steps into the world of open source.

dav-js

This repo contains the DAV JavaScript SDK. This SDK allows developers to build applications and servers that connect to the DAV network. For example, allowing a drone to find charging stations, or an autonomous car to ask for traffic data.

How you can help

In order to foster a community that is welcoming for open source contributions, it is important for us to have good test coverage. And good tests, are simple readable tests.

There's a good opportunity to simplify one of our tests:

In src/Bid.test.ts when messageParams is defined we give it a value (a new MessageParams object). But that value is immediately overwritten in the beforeEach function. Change the code so that messageParams is just defined, and isn't immediately assigned a value. While we're at it, and since this is TypeScript, give it a type of MessageParams.

After making your changes, make sure the tests still pass by running npm run jest
