Write better assertions

Package Exports

  • expect
  • expect/package

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (expect) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

expect is a thin wrapper around node's assert module that lets you write better assertions.

When you use expect, you write assertions similarly to how you would say them, e.g. "I expect this value to be equal to 3" or "I expect this array to contain 3". When you write assertions in this way, you don't need to remember the order of actual and expected arguments to functions like assert.equal, which helps you write better tests.

API

expect(object).toBe(value, [message])

Asserts that object is strictly equal to value using assert.strictEqual.

expect(object).toNotBe(value, [message])

Asserts that object is not strictly equal to value using assert.notStrictEqual.

expect(object).toEqual(value, [message])

Asserts that the given object equals value using assert.equal.

expect(object).toNotEqual(value, [message])

Asserts that the given object is not equal to value using assert.notEqual.

expect(block).toThrow([error], [message])

Asserts that the given block throws an error using assert.throws. The error argument may be a constructor, RegExp, or validation function.

expect(function () {
  throw new Error('boom!');
}).toThrow(/boom/);

expect(block).toNotThrow([message])

Asserts that the given block does not throw using assert.doesNotThrow.

expect(object).toBeA(constructor, [message])

Asserts the given object is an instanceof constructor.

expect(new User).toBeA(User);

expect(string).toMatch(pattern, [message])

Asserts the given string matches pattern, which must be a RegExp.

expect('a string').toMatch(/string/);

expect(number).toBeLessThan(value, [message])

Asserts the given number is less than value.

expect(2).toBeLessThan(3);

expect(number).toBeGreaterThan(value, [message])

Asserts the given number is greater than value.

expect(3).toBeGreaterThan(2);

expect(array).toInclude(value, [comparator], [message])

Asserts the given array contains value. The comparator function, if given, should compare two objects and either return false or throw if they are not equal. It defaults to assert.deepEqual.

expect([ 1, 2, 3 ]).toInclude(3);

expect(array).toExclude(value, [comparator], [message])

Asserts the given array does not contain value. The comparator function, if given, should compare two objects and either return false or throw if they are not equal. It defaults to assert.deepEqual.

expect([ 1, 2, 3 ]).toExclude(4);
