BDD syntax

const { expect } = require('chai')

{: .-setup}

expect(object)
  .to.equal(expected)
  .to.eql(expected)        // deep equality
  .to.deep.equal(expected) // same as .eql
  .to.be.a('string')
  .to.include(val)
  .be.ok(val)
  .be.true
  .be.false
  .to.exist
  .to.be.null
  .to.be.undefined
  .to.be.empty
  .to.be.arguments
  .to.be.function
  .to.be.instanceOf
  .to.be.gt(5)  // aka: .above .greaterThan
  .to.be.gte(5) // aka: .at.least
  .to.be.lt(5)  // aka: .below
  .to.respondTo('bar')
  .to.satisfy((n) => n > 0)
  .to.have.members([2, 3, 4])
  .to.have.keys(['foo'])
  .to.have.key('foo')
expect(() => { ··· })
  .to.throw(/not a function/)

Should: chains

.to .be .been .is .that .and .have .with .at .of .same

These don't do anything and can be chained.

Should not

expect(object).not.equal('x')

Chai with jQuery

Using chai-jquery

global.jQuery = ···
chai.use(require('chai-jquery'))

{: .-setup}

expect($body)
  .have.attr('foo')
  .have.prop('disabled')
  .have.css('background')
  .have.css('background-color', '#ffffff')
  .have.data('foo')
  .have.class('active')
  .have.id('id')
  .have.html('<em>hi</em>')
  .have.text('hello')
  .have.value('2013')

Continued

expect($body)
  .be.visible
  .be.hidden
  .be.checked
  .be.selected
  .be.enabled
  .be.disabled
  .be.empty
  .to.exist
  .to.contain('text')
  .to.have('.selector')
