Jest is an amazing test runner and has some awesome assertion APIs built in by default. However there are times when having more specific matchers (assertions) would be far more convenient.
jest-extended aims to add additional matchers to Jest's default ones making it easy to test everything π

With npm:
npm install --save-dev jest-extended
With yarn:
yarn add -D jest-extended
Add jest-extended to your Jest setupTestFrameworkScriptFile configuration. See for help
"jest": {
"setupTestFrameworkScriptFile": "jest-extended"
}
If you are already using another test framework, like jest-chain, then you should create a test setup file and require
each of the frameworks you are using.
For example:
// ./testSetup.js
require('jest-extended');
require('any other test framework libraries you are using');
Then in your Jest config:
"jest": {
"setupTestFrameworkScriptFile": "./testSetup.js"
}
Note: Currently unimplemented
Passing assertion.
expect().pass('should pass');
Note: Currently unimplemented
Failing assertion.
expect().fail('test should fail');
Use .toBeEmpty

''
, Array
[]

{}

});
Use .toSatisfyAll
when you want to use a custom matcher by supplying a predicate function that returns a Boolean
for all values in an array.
test('passes when all values in array pass given predicate', () => {
const isOdd = el => el % 2 === 1;
expect([1,3,5,7]).toSatisfyAll(isOdd);
