What is @jest/expect?

@jest/expect is a part of the Jest testing framework that provides a set of matchers to assert different conditions in your tests. It allows you to write assertions in a readable and expressive way, making it easier to test your JavaScript code.

What are @jest/expect's main functionalities?

Basic Matchers

Basic matchers allow you to test simple values. In this example, `toBe` is used to check if the result of `2 + 2` is `4`.

expect(2 + 2).toBe(4);

Truthiness

Matchers for different types of truthiness. Here, `toBeNull` checks if the value is `null`.

expect(null).toBeNull();

Numbers

Matchers for comparing numbers. In this example, `toBeGreaterThan` checks if `4` is greater than `3`.

expect(4).toBeGreaterThan(3);

Strings

Matchers for strings. This example uses `not.toMatch` to check that the string 'team' does not contain the letter 'I'.

expect('team').not.toMatch(/I/);

Arrays and Iterables

Matchers for arrays and iterables. Here, `toContain` checks if the array contains the element 'Alice'.

expect(['Alice', 'Bob']).toContain('Alice');

Exceptions

Matchers for exceptions. This example uses `toThrow` to check if a function throws an error with the message 'error'.

expect(() => { throw new Error('error'); }).toThrow('error');
