Advanced tools
chai-signature is a Chai.js assertion library extension to make function precondition testing much easier.
If you find yourself doing a lot of these these kind of tests:
var self = this;
expect(function() {
self.method(null);
}).to.throw(/ArgumentError/)
With chai-signature it's much shorter and more straightforward:
expect(this.method).bind(this).calledWith(null).to.throw();
Or the more generally-used shorter version with functions already bound:
expect(this.method).called(null).to.throw();
All functions expect the expect
object to be a function.
.bind( [obj] )
.bindTo( [obj] )
.boundTo( [obj] )
Binds the source function to obj
.
.called( [arg [, arg [, arg... ]]] )
.calledWith( [arg [, arg [, arg... ]]] )
Converts the subject (which is a function) into a function call of the subject with the arguments pre-applied.
