Function assert

typeof

equal

• equal<T>(
      actual: unknown,
      expected: T,
      details?: Details,
      errConstructor?: GenericErrorConstructor,
      options?: AssertMakeErrorOptions,
  ): asserts actual is T

  Assert that two values are the same as observed by Object.is.

  Type Parameters

  • T

  Parameters

  • actual: unknown

    What we received

  • expected: T

    What we wanted

  • Optionaldetails: Details

    The details associated with assertion failure (Object.is returning false)

  • OptionalerrConstructor: GenericErrorConstructor

    An optional alternate error constructor to use

  • Optionaloptions: AssertMakeErrorOptions

  Returns asserts actual is T

fail

• fail(
      details?: Details,
      errConstructor?: GenericErrorConstructor,
      options?: AssertMakeErrorOptions,
  ): never

  Fail an assertion, raising an exception with a message in which unquoted details substitution values may have been redacted into typeof types but are still available for logging to an associated console.

  Parameters

  • Optionaldetails: Details

    The details of what was asserted

  • OptionalerrConstructor: GenericErrorConstructor

    An optional alternate error constructor to use

  • Optionaloptions: AssertMakeErrorOptions

  Returns never

string

• string(specimen: any, details?: Details): asserts specimen is string

  Assert that a value is a primitive string. assert.string(v) is equivalent to assert.typeof(v, 'string'). We special case this one because it is the most frequently used.

  Parameters

  • specimen: any
  • Optionaldetails: Details

    The details of what was asserted

  Returns asserts specimen is string
