Interface EqualFn<R>

Type Parameters

• R

• EqualFn<T>(expected: T, evalMsg?: MsgSource): R

  Identifies the signature of the equals function that performs equality checks between the actual and expected values, throwing an AssertionFailure with the given message when the actual value is not equal to the expected value. The actual equality check is based on the implementation of this signature, and may be either a strict or loose equality check.

  Type Parameters

  • T

    The type of the expected value.

  Parameters

  • expected: T

    The expected value.
  • OptionalevalMsg: MsgSource

    The message to display if the values are strictly equal.

  Returns R

  Throws

  AssertionFailure - If the expected and actual values are strictly equal.

  Example

  assert.equal(1, 1); // Passes
  assert.equal("a", "a"); // Passes
  assert.equal(true, true); // Passes
  assert.equal(false, false); // Passes
  assert.equal(null, null); // Passes
  assert.equal(undefined, undefined); // Passes
  assert.equal(0, 0); // Passes
  assert.equal(-0, -0); // Passes
  assert.equal(+0, +0); // Passes
  assert.equal(0n, 0n); // Passes
  assert.equal("", ""); // Passes
  assert.equal(Symbol(), Symbol()); // Passes
  assert.equal([], []); // Throws AssertionError
  assert.equal([1, 2], [1, 2]); // Throws AssertionError
