Author message:

Use assertthat instead.

node-assertthat

node-assertthat provides a fluent TDD style for Node.js: assert.that(actual, is.equalTo(expected));

Installation

$ npm install node-assertthat

Quick Start

Using node-assertthat is easy. All you need to do is to add a reference to it within your Node.js application:

var assert = require('node-assertthat');

Now you are able to use the various constraints:

var add = function(first, second) {
  return first + second;
};
 
var actual = add(23, 42),
    expected = 65;
 
assert.that(actual, is.equalTo(expected));

Please note that node-assertthat extends Node's assert module, i.e. all the code you have been used to will work with node-assertthat as well.

Available constraints

Please note that any constraint can be negated using the not keyword.

is.atLeast

Asserts that actual is greater than or equal to expected.

assert.that(actual, is.atLeast(expected));
assert.that(actual, is.not.atLeast(expected));

is.atMost

Asserts that actual is less than or equal to expected.

assert.that(actual, is.atMost(expected));
assert.that(actual, is.not.atMost(expected));

is.between

Asserts that actual is between expectedLow and expectedHigh.

assert.that(actual, is.between(expectedLow, expectedHigh));
assert.that(actual, is.not.between(expectedLow, expectedHigh));

is.equalTo

Asserts that actual is equal to expected.

assert.that(actual, is.equalTo(expected));
assert.that(actual, is.not.equalTo(expected));

is.false

Asserts that actual is false.

assert.that(actual, is.false());
assert.that(actual, is.not.false());

is.falsy

Asserts that actual is falsy.

assert.that(actual, is.falsy());
assert.that(actual, is.not.falsy());

is.greaterThan

Asserts that actual is greater than expected.

assert.that(actual, is.greaterThan(expected));
assert.that(actual, is.not.greaterThan(expected));

is.instanceOf

Asserts that actual is an instance of expected.

assert.that(actual, is.instanceOf(expected));
assert.that(actual, is.not.instanceOf(expected));

is.lessThan

Asserts that actual is less than expected.

assert.that(actual, is.lessThan(expected));
assert.that(actual, is.not.lessThan(expected));

is.NaN

Asserts that actual is NaN.

assert.that(actual, is.NaN());
assert.that(actual, is.not.NaN());

is.null

Asserts that actual is null.

assert.that(actual, is.null());
assert.that(actual, is.not.null());

is.ofType

Asserts that actual is of type expected.

assert.that(actual, is.ofType(expected));
assert.that(actual, is.not.ofType(expected));

is.sameAs

Asserts that actual is identical to expected.

assert.that(actual, is.sameAs(expected));
assert.that(actual, is.not.sameAs(expected));

is.throwing

Asserts that f throws an exception.

assert.that(f, is.throwing());
assert.that(f, is.not.throwing());

Alternatively, asserts that f throws an exception with the expected message.

assert.that(f, is.throwing(expected));
assert.that(f, is.not.throwing(expected));

is.true

Asserts that actual is true.

assert.that(actual, is.true());
assert.that(actual, is.not.true());

is.undefined

Asserts that actual is undefined.

assert.that(actual, is.undefined());
assert.that(actual, is.not.undefined());

Running the build

This module can be built using Grunt. Besides running the tests, this also analyses the code. To run Grunt, go to the folder where you have installed node-assertthat and run grunt. You need to have grunt-cli installed.

$ grunt
