What are @types/mocha's main functionalities?
Describe blocks
TypeScript definitions for Mocha's describe blocks, which are used to group related tests.
describe('Array', () => {
describe('#indexOf()', () => {
it('should return -1 when the value is not present', () => {
assert.equal([1, 2, 3].indexOf(4), -1);
});
});
});
It blocks
TypeScript definitions for Mocha's it blocks, which are used to define individual test cases.
it('should add two numbers', () => {
const sum = add(1, 2);
assert.equal(sum, 3);
});
Hooks
TypeScript definitions for Mocha's hooks like before, after, beforeEach, and afterEach, which are used to set up preconditions and clean up after tests.
describe('hooks', () => {
before(() => {
// runs once before the first test in this block
});
after(() => {
// runs once after the last test in this block
});
beforeEach(() => {
// runs before each test in this block
});
afterEach(() => {
// runs after each test in this block
});
});
