TypeScript definitions for chai
The @types/chai package provides TypeScript type definitions for Chai, a BDD / TDD assertion library for node and the browser. This allows developers to use Chai in TypeScript projects with type checking and IntelliSense support in code editors.
Expect/Should Assertions
Provides fluent API for asserting facts about values in a readable manner. Supports both 'expect' and 'should' styles.
expect(foo).to.be.a('string');
expect(foo).to.equal('bar');
expect(foo).to.have.lengthOf(3);
should.exist(foo);
foo.should.be.a('string');
foo.should.equal('bar');
Assert Style
Enables a more classical assert style, similar to node's assert module but with more capabilities.
assert.typeOf(foo, 'string');
assert.equal(foo, 'bar');
assert.lengthOf(foo, 3);
Property Assertions
Allows asserting the existence of an object's property, optionally asserting its value or properties.
expect(foo).to.have.property('length').with.lengthOf(3);
foo.should.have.property('length').with.lengthOf(3);
Provides TypeScript definitions for Jest, a testing framework with a focus on simplicity. While Jest comes with its own assertion library, it's more tightly integrated with its testing environment compared to Chai, which is assertion library agnostic.
Offers TypeScript definitions for Mocha, a feature-rich JavaScript test framework running on Node.js and in the browser. Mocha itself is more about the test framework rather than assertions, and it's often used in combination with Chai.
Supplies TypeScript definitions for Sinon, a standalone test spies, stubs, and mocks for JavaScript. While not an assertion library, Sinon is commonly used alongside Chai for behavior verification in tests.
