Function assert

A group of guard methods that assert their conditions and do nothing else.

This can also be called as a standalone assertion function which asserts that its input is truthy.

import {assert} from '@augment-vir/assert';

const value: unknown = 'some value' as unknown;
assert.isString(value);
// `value` will now be typed as a `string`

AssertionError When the assertion fails.

Properties

deepEquals: (<const Actual, const Expected>(actual: Actual, expected: Expected, failureMessage?: string) => asserts actual is NarrowToExpected<Actual, Expected>)

Asserts that two values are deeply equal using the deep-eql package.

Note that this check may be expensive, depending on what values it is passed. Whenever possible, use simpler equality checks instead (see the see section below).

Type guards the first value.

import {assert} from '@augment-vir/assert';

assert.deepEquals('a', 'a'); // passes

assert.deepEquals('1', 1); // fails

assert.deepEquals({a: 'a'}, {a: 'a'}); // passes

const objectExample = {a: 'a'};
assert.deepEquals(objectExample, objectExample); // passes

AssertionError If both inputs are not deeply equal.

endsWith: {
    <const ArrayElement>(parent: readonly ArrayElement[], child: ArrayElement, failureMessage?: string): void;
    (parent: string, child: string, failureMessage?: string): void;
    (parent: string | readonly string[], child: string, failureMessage?: string): void;
}

Asserts that a parent string or array ends with a specific child. This uses reference equality when the parent is an array.

Performs no type guarding.

import {assert} from '@augment-vir/assert';

assert.endsWith('ab', 'b'); // passes
assert.endsWith('ab', 'a'); // fails
assert.endsWith(
[
'a',
'b',
],
'b',
); // passes
assert.endsWith(
[
'a',
'b',
],
'a',
); // fails

AssertionError If the parent does not end with the child.

endsWithout: {
    <const ArrayElement>(parent: readonly ArrayElement[], child: ArrayElement, failureMessage?: string): void;
    (parent: string, child: string, failureMessage?: string): void;
    (parent: string | readonly string[], child: string, failureMessage?: string): void;
}

Asserts that a parent string or array does not end with a specific child. This uses reference equality when the parent is an array.

Performs no type guarding.

import {assert} from '@augment-vir/assert';

assert.endsWithout('ab', 'b'); // fails
assert.endsWithout('ab', 'a'); // passes
assert.endsWithout(
[
'a',
'b',
],
'b',
); // fails
assert.endsWithout(
[
'a',
'b',
],
'a',
); // passes

AssertionError If the parent ends with the child.

entriesEqual: (<const Actual, const Expected>(actual: Actual, expected: Expected, failureMessage?: string) => asserts actual is Expected)

Asserts that two objects are deeply equal by checking only their top-level values for strict (non-deep, reference, using ===) equality.

If a function input is provided:

Calls that function and asserts that the function throw an error, comparing the error with the given ErrorMatchOptions, if provided.

If a promise is provided:

Awaits the promise and asserts that the promise rejected with an error, comparing the error with the given ErrorMatchOptions, if provided.

This assertion will automatically type itself as async vs async based on the input. (A promise or async function inputs results in async. Otherwise, sync.)
