## What is Chai?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Chai is an _assertion library_, similar to Node's built-in `assert`. It makes testing much easier by giving you lots of assertions you can run against your code.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Installation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Node.js
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`chai` is available on [npm](http://npmjs.org). To install it, type:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ npm install --save-dev chai
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Browsers
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can also use it within the browser; install via npm and use the `chai.js` file found within the download. For example:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```html
|
||
|
|
<script src="./node_modules/chai/chai.js"></script>
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Usage
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Import the library in your code, and then pick one of the styles you'd like to use - either `assert`, `expect` or `should`:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
var chai = require('chai');
|
||
|
|
var assert = chai.assert; // Using Assert style
|
||
|
|
var expect = chai.expect; // Using Expect style
|
||
|
|
var should = chai.should(); // Using Should style
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Pre-Native Modules Usage (_registers the chai testing style globally_)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
require('chai/register-assert'); // Using Assert style
|
||
|
|
require('chai/register-expect'); // Using Expect style
|
||
|
|
require('chai/register-should'); // Using Should style
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Pre-Native Modules Usage (_as local variables_)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
const { assert } = require('chai'); // Using Assert style
|
||
|
|
const { expect } = require('chai'); // Using Expect style
|
||
|
|
const { should } = require('chai'); // Using Should style
|
||
|
|
should(); // Modifies `Object.prototype`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
const { expect, use } = require('chai'); // Creates local variables `expect` and `use`; useful for plugin use
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Native Modules Usage (_registers the chai testing style globally_)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
import 'chai/register-assert'; // Using Assert style
|
||
|
|
import 'chai/register-expect'; // Using Expect style
|
||
|
|
import 'chai/register-should'; // Using Should style
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Native Modules Usage (_local import only_)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
import { assert } from 'chai'; // Using Assert style
|
||
|
|
import { expect } from 'chai'; // Using Expect style
|
||
|
|
import { should } from 'chai'; // Using Should style
|
||
|
|
should(); // Modifies `Object.prototype`
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Usage with Mocha
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
mocha spec.js -r chai/register-assert # Using Assert style
|
||
|
|
mocha spec.js -r chai/register-expect # Using Expect style
|
||
|
|
mocha spec.js -r chai/register-should # Using Should style
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[Read more about these styles in our docs](http://chaijs.com/guide/styles/).

Chai offers a robust Plugin architecture for extending Chai's assertions and interfaces.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Need a plugin? View the [official plugin list](http://chaijs.com/plugins).
|
||
|
|
- Want to build a plugin? Read the [plugin api documentation](http://chaijs.com/guide/plugins/).
|
||
|
|
- Have a plugin and want it listed? Simply add the following keywords to your package.json:
|
||
|
|
- `chai-plugin`
|
||
|
|
- `browser` if your plugin works in the browser as well as Node.js
|
||
|
|
- `browser-only` if your plugin does not work with Node.js
