Methods

Equality

Assert.deepStrictEqual()

• label <string> (required) Name of the variable used as the actual parameter. The error message will refer to the actual parameter by this label.
• actual <any> (required) Actual value to test.
• expected <any> (required) Expected value of the actual parameter.

Test for deep equality between the actual and expected parameters. It behaves similar to assert.deepStrictEqual but with these differences:

• Set items are compared ordered.
• Circular references are unsupported; they will result in a stack overflow.

var Assert = require('@ravdocs/assert');

var actual1 = {a: 1};
var expected1 = {a: 1};
Assert.deepStrictEqual('actual1', actual1, expected1);
// OK

var actual2 = {a: 1};
var expected2 = {a: '1'};
Assert.deepStrictEqual('actual2', actual2, expected2);
// AssertionError: Expected kind of 'actual2[a]' to be 'string' but got 'number'.

Assert.deepNarrowStrictEqual()

• label <string> (required) Name of the variable used as the actual parameter. The error message will refer to the actual parameter by this label.
• actual <any> (required) Actual value to test.
• expected <any> (required) Expected value of the actual parameter.

Similar to Assert.deepStrictEqual() except that it will pass when the expected parameter is a subset of the actual parameter. Any objects in the expected parameter must exist in the actual parameter, and the keys of these expected objects must exist in the corresponding actual objects, but the actual objects can have more keys than those in the expected ones. This rule applies for objects, arrays, Maps, and Sets. The built-in assert module does not have a counterpart to this method.

var Assert = require('@ravdocs/assert');

var actual1 = {a: 1, b: 1};
var expected1 = {a: 1};
Assert.deepNarrowStrictEqual('actual1', actual1, expected1);
// OK

var actual2 = {a: 1};
var expected2 = {a: 1, b: 1};
Assert.deepNarrowStrictEqual('actual2', actual2, expected2);
// AssertionError: Expected kind of 'actual2[b]' to be 'number' but got 'undefined'.

var actual3 = ['a', 'b'];
var expected3 = ['a'];
Assert.deepNarrowStrictEqual('actual3', actual3, expected3);
// OK

var actual4 = ['a'];
var expected4 = ['a', 'b'];
Assert.deepNarrowStrictEqual('actual4', actual4, expected4);
// AssertionError: Expected kind of 'actual4[1]' to be 'string' but got 'undefined'.

Assert.strictEqual()

• label <string> (required) Name of the variable used as the actual parameter. The error message will refer to the actual parameter by this label.
• actual <any> (required) Actual value to test.
• expected <any> (required) Expected value of the actual parameter.

Test strict equality between the actual and expected parameters. It behaves similar to assert.strictEqual.

var Assert = require('@ravdocs/assert');

var actual1 = 1;
var expected1 = 1;
Assert.strictEqual('actual1', actual1, expected1);
// OK

var actual2 = 1;
var expected2 = '1';
Assert.strictEqual('actual2', actual2, expected2);
// AssertionError: Expected kind of 'actual2' to be 'string' but got 'number'.

var actual3 = 1;
var expected3 = 2;
Assert.strictEqual('actual3', actual3, expected3);
// AssertionError: Expected 'actual3' to be '2' but got '1'.

var Assert = require('@ravdocs/assert');

var actual1 = 'ab';
var suffix1 = 'b';
Assert.endsWith('actual1', actual1, suffix1);
// OK

var actual2 = 'ab';
var suffix2 = 'a';
Assert.endsWith('actual2', actual2, suffix2);
// AssertionError: Expected 'actual2' to end with 'a' but it does not.

Assert.includes()

• label <string> (required) Name of the variable used as the actual parameter. The error message will refer to the actual parameter by this label.
• actual <string> | <any[]> (required) Actual value to test.
• needle <any> (required) Value expected to be inside the actual parameter.

var Assert = require('@ravdocs/assert');

var actual1 = 'abc';
