Chai Things

Chai Things adds support to Chai for assertions on array elements.

Example

 // Although they are equal, two different { a: 1 } objects are not the same
[{ a: 1 }, { b: 2 }].should.not.include({ a: 1 })
// However, Chai Things allows us to test what we want
[{ a: 1 }, { b: 2 }].should.include.something.that.deep.equals({ b: 2 })
// If the test fails, we get a descriptive message
[{ a: 1 }, { b: 2 }].should.include.something.that.deep.equals({ c: 3 })
/* expected an element of [ { a: 1 }, { b: 2 } ] to deeply equal { c: 3 } */

Installation and usage

 $ npm install chai-things

 var chai = require("chai");
chai.should();
chai.use(require('chai-things'));
