// ## Basic Type Check // By default, `instanceof` is used to check the type. // // Note that you can use `assert.type()` in unit tests or anywhere in your code. // Most of the time, you will use it with Traceur. // Jump to the [Traceur section](#integrating-with-traceur) to see an example of that. describe('basic type check', function() { class Type {} it('should pass', function() { assert.type(new Type(), Type);

// ## Custom Check // Often, `instanceof` is not flexible enough. // In that case, your type can define its own `assert` method which will be used instead. // // See [Describing More Complex Types](#describing-more-complex-types) for examples how to // define custom checks using `assert.define()`. describe('custom check', function() { class Type {} // the basic check can just return true/false, without specifying any reason it('should pass when returns true', function() { Type.assert = function(value) { return true;

}); }); }); // ## Integrating with Traceur // // Manually calling `assert.type()` in your code is cumbersome. Most of the time, you'll want to // have Traceur add the calls to `assert.type()` to your code based on type annotations. // // This has several advantages: // - it's shorter and nicer, // - you can easily ignore it when generating production code. // // You'll need to run Traceur with `--types=true --type-assertions=true --type-assertion-module="path/to/assert"`. describe('Traceur', function() { describe('arguments', function() { function reverse(str: string) { return str ? reverse(str.substring(1)) + str[0] : '' } it('should pass', function() { expect(reverse('angular')).toBe('ralugna'); }); it('should fail', function() { expect(() => reverse(123)) .toThrowError('Invalid arguments given!\n' + ' - 1st argument has to be an instance of string, got 123'); }); }); describe('return value', function() { function foo(bar): number { return bar; } it('should pass', function() { expect(foo(123)).toBe(123); }); it('should fail', function() { expect(() => foo('bar')) .toThrowError('Expected to return an instance of number, got "bar"!'); }); }); describe('variables', function() { it('should pass', function() { var count:number = 1; }); it('should fail', function() { expect(() => { var count: number = true; }).toThrowError('Expected an instance of number, got true!'); }); }); describe('void', function() { function foo(bar): void { return bar; } it('should pass when not defined', function() { function nonReturn(): void {} function returnNothing(): void { return; } function returnUndefined(): void { return undefined; } foo(); foo(undefined); nonReturn(); returnNothing(); returnUndefined(); }); it('should fail when a value returned', function() { expect(() => foo('bar')) .toThrowError('Expected to return an instance of voidType, got "bar"!'); }); it('should fail when null returned', function() { expect(() => foo(null)) .toThrowError('Expected to return an instance of voidType, got null!'); }); }); }); //
