Expect.Js Cheat Sheet

References

Assertions on spies 

expect(spy.calls.length).toEqual(1)
expect(spy.calls[0].context).toBe(video)
expect(spy.calls[0].arguments).toEqual([ 'some', 'args' ])
expect(spy.getLastCall().arguments).toEqual(...)
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode 
expect(spy).toHaveBeenCalled()
expect(spy).toHaveBeenCalledWith('some', 'args')
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Spies 

const video = {
  play: function () { ··· }
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode 
spy = expect.spyOn(video, 'play')
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode 
spy = expect.spyOn(···)
  .andCallThrough()      // pass through
  .andCall(fn)
  .andThrow(exception)
  .andReturn(value)
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Chaining assertions 

expect(3.14)
  .toExist()
  .toBeLessThan(4)
  .toBeGreaterThan(3)
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Assertions can be chained.

Assertions 

expect(x).toBe(y)
  .toBe(val)
  .toEqual(val)
  .toThrow(err)
  .toExist()          // aka: toBeTruthy()
  .toNotExist()       // aka: toBeFalsy()
  .toBeA(constructor)
  .toBeA('string')
  .toMatch(/expr/)
  .toBeLessThan(n)
  .toBeGreaterThan(n)
  .toBeLessThanOrEqualTo(n)
  .toBeGreaterThanOrEqualTo(n)
  .toInclude(val)     // aka: toContain(val)
  .toExclude(val)
  .toIncludeKey(key)
  .toExcludeKey(key)
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Also: toNotBe, toNotEqual, etc for negatives.

Using 

npm install --save-dev expect
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

{: .-setup}

// using ES6 modules
import expect, { createSpy, spyOn, isSpy } from 'expect'
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode 
// using CommonJS modules
var expect = require('expect')
var createSpy = expect.createSpy
var spyOn = expect.spyOn
var isSpy = expect.isSpy
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Expect is a library for assertions in tests.
See: mjackson/expect
