@f1stnpm2/rerum-maxime-perspiciatis

@f1stnpm2/rerum-maxime-perspiciatis is an extension to the chai assertion library that provides a set of assertions when working with the DOM (specifically HTMLElement and NodeList)

Forked from chai-jquery to use for those of us freed of jQuery's baggage.

Assertions

attr(name[, value])

attribute(name[, value])

Assert that the HTMLElement has the given attribute, using getAttribute. Optionally, assert a particular value as well. The return value is available for chaining.

document.getElementById('header').should.have.attr('foo')
expect(document.querySelector('main article')).to.have.attribute('foo', 'bar')
expect(document.querySelector('main article')).to.have.attr('foo').match(/bar/)

class(className)

Assert that the HTMLElement has the given class, using classList.

document.getElementsByName('bar').should.have.class('foo')
expect(document.querySelector('main article')).to.have.class('foo')

Also accepts regex as argument.

document.getElementsByName('bar').should.have.class(/foo/)
expect(document.querySelector('main article')).to.have.class(/foo/)

id(id)

Assert that the HTMLElement has the given id.

document.querySelector('section').should.have.id('#main')
expect(document.querySelector('section')).to.have.id('foo')

html(html)

Assert that the html of the HTMLElement is equal to or contains the given html.

document.querySelector('.name').should.have.html('<em>John Doe</em>')
expect(document.querySelector('#title')).to.have.html('Chai Tea')

document.querySelector('.name').should.contain.html('<span>Doe</span>')
expect(document.querySelector('#title')).to.contain.html('<em>Tea</em>')

text(text)

Assert that the text of the HTMLElement or combined text of the NodeList is equal to or contains the given text, using textContent. Chaining flags:

trimmed - will trim the text before comparing
rendered - will use innerText when comparing

document.querySelector('.name').should.have.text('John Doe')
expect(document.querySelector('#title')).to.have.text('Chai Tea')
document.querySelectorAll('ul li').should.have.text('JohnJaneJessie')
document.querySelector('h1').should.have.trimmed.text('chai-tests')
expect(document.querySelector('article')).to.have.rendered.text('Chai Tea is great')

document.querySelector('.name').should.contain.text('John')
expect(document.querySelector('#title')).to.contain.text('Chai')
document.querySelectorAll('ul li').should.contain.text('Jane')

text(text[])

Assert that the textContent of the NodeList children deep equal those text, or when using the contains flag, all the text items are somewhere in the NodeList.

document.querySelectorAll('.name').should.have.text(['John Doe', 'Jane'])
expect(document.querySelectorAll('ul li')).to.have.text(['John', 'Jane', 'Jessie'])

document.querySelectorAll('.name').should.contain.text(['John Doe'])
expect(document.querySelectorAll('ul li')).to.contain.text(['John', 'Jessie'])

value(value)

Assert that the HTMLElement has the given value

document.querySelector('.name').should.have.value('John Doe')
expect(document.querySelector('input.year')).to.have.value('2012')

empty

Assert that the HTMLElement or NodeList has no child nodes. If the object asserted against is neither of those, the original implementation will be called.

document.querySelector('.empty').should.be.empty
expect(document.querySelector('section')).not.to.be.empty

length(n)

Assert that the HTMLElement or NodeList has exactly n child nodes. If the object asserted against is neither of those, the original implementation will be called.

document.querySelector('ul').should.have.length(2)
document.querySelector('li').should.have.length(2)
expect(document.querySelector('ul')).not.to.have.length(3)

exist

Assert that the NodeList is not empty. If the object asserted against is not a NodeList, the original implementation will be called.

document.querySelectorAll('dl dd').should.exist
expect(document.querySelectorAll('.nonexistent')).not.to.exist

match(selector)

Assert that the selection matches an HTMLElement or all elements in a NodeList, using matches. If the object asserted against is neither of those, the original implementation will be called.

Note matches is DOM Level 4, so you may need a polyfill for it.

document.querySelectorAll('input').should.match('[name="bar"]')
expect(document.getElementById('empty')).to.match('.disabled')

contain(selector or element)

Assert that the HTMLElement contains the given element, using querySelector for selector strings or using [contains][contains] for elements. If the object asserted against is not an HTMLElement, or if contain is not called as a function, the original implementation will be called.

document.querySelector('section').should.contain('ul.items')
document.querySelector('section').should.contain(document.querySelector('section div'))
expect(document.querySelector('#content')).to.contain('p')

descendant(selector or element)

Same as contain but changes the assertion subject to the matched element.

document.querySelector('section').should.have.descendant('ul').and.have.class('items')
document.querySelector('section').should.have.descendant(document.querySelector('section div'))
expect(document.querySelector('#content')).to.have.descendant('p')

descendants(selector)

Same as descendant but uses querySelectorAll instead of querySelector to change the assertion subject to a NodeList instead of a single element.

document.querySelector('section').should.have.descendants('ul li').and.have.length(3)

displayed

Assert that the HTMLElement is displayed (that display is not equal to "none"). If the element is attached to the body, it will call getComputedStyle; otherwise it will look at the inline display attribute.

document.querySelector('dl dd').should.be.displayed
expect(document.querySelector('.hidden')).not.to.be.displayed

visible

Assert that the HTMLElement is visible (that visibility is not equal to "hidden" or "collapse"). If the element is attached to the body, it will call getComputedStyle; otherwise it will look at the inline visibility attribute.

document.querySelector('dl dd').should.be.visible
expect(document.querySelector('.invisible')).not.to.be.visible

tagName(name)

Assert that the HTMLElement has the given tagName.

document.querySelector('.container').should.have.tagName('div')
expect(document.querySelector('.container')).not.to.have.tagName('span')

style(styleProp, styleValue)

Assert that the HTMLElement has the given style prop name value equal to a given value.

document.querySelector('.container').should.have.style('color', 'rgb(55, 66, 77)')
expect(document.querySelector('.container')).not.to.have.style('borderWidth', '3px')

focus

Assert that the HTMLElement has set focus.

document.querySelector('input').should.have.focus
expect(document.querySelector('.container')).not.to.have.focus

checked

Assert that the HTMLElement is an [HTMLInputElement][] with type of "checkbox" or "radio", and that its checked state is true or false.

document.querySelector('input').should.be.checked
expect(document.querySelector('.checkbox')).not.to.be.checked

Installation

npm

npm install @f1stnpm2/rerum-maxime-perspiciatis

bower

bower install @f1stnpm2/rerum-maxime-perspiciatis

Usage

CommonJS

var chai = require('chai')
chai.use(require('@f1stnpm2/rerum-maxime-perspiciatis'))

AMD

require(['chai', '@f1stnpm2/rerum-maxime-perspiciatis'], function(chai, chaiDom) {
  chai.use(chaiDom)
})

Global

<script src="chai.js"></script>
<script src="@f1stnpm2/rerum-maxime-perspiciatis.js"></script>

Use the assertions with chai's expect or should assertions.
