.toBeTruthy()
Use .toBeTruthy
when you don't care what a value is, you just want to ensure a value is true in a boolean context. For example, let's say you have some application code that looks like:
drinkSomeLaCroix();
if (thirstInfo()) {
drinkMoreLaCroix();
}
You may not care what thirstInfo
returns, specifically - it might return true
or a complex object, and your code would still work. So if you just want to test that thirstInfo
will be truthy after drinking some La Croix, you could write:
test('drinking La Croix leads to having thirst info', () => {
drinkSomeLaCroix();
expect(thirstInfo()).toBeTruthy();
});
In JavaScript, there are six falsy values: false
, 0
, ''
, null
, undefined
, and NaN
. Everything else is truthy.
