samsam

Same same, but different

samsam is a collection of predicate and comparison functions useful for identifiying the type of values and to compare values with varying degrees of strictness.

samsam is a general-purpose library. It works in browsers and Node. It will define itself as an AMD module if you want it to (i.e. if there’s a define function available).

Predicate functions

isArguments(value)

Returns true if value is an arguments object, false otherwise.

isNegZero(value)

Returns true if value is -0.

isElement(value)

Returns true if value is a DOM element node. Unlike Underscore.js/lodash, this function will return false if value is an element-like object, i.e. a regular object with a nodeType property that holds the value 1.

isSet(value)

Returns true if value is a Set.

Comparison functions

identical(x, y)

Strict equality check according to EcmaScript Harmony’s egal.

From the Harmony wiki:

An egal function simply makes available the internal SameValue function from section 9.12 of the ES5 spec. If two values are egal, then they are not observably distinguishable.

identical returns true when === is true, except for -0 and +0, where it returns false. Additionally, it returns true when NaN is compared to itself.

deepEqual(actual, expectation)

Deep equal comparison. Two values are “deep equal” if:

• They are identical
• They are both date objects representing the same time
• They are both arrays containing elements that are all deepEqual

• They are objects with the same set of properties, and each property in actual is deepEqual to the corresponding property in expectation

  • actual can have symbolic properties that are missing from expectation

Matcher

Match values and objects by type or or other fuzzy criteria. samsam ships with these built in matchers:

sinon.match.any

Matches anything.

sinon.match.defined

Requires the value to be defined.

sinon.match.truthy

Requires the value to be truthy.

sinon.match.falsy

Requires the value to be falsy.

sinon.match.bool

Requires the value to be a Boolean

sinon.match.number

Requires the value to be a Number.

sinon.match.string

Requires the value to be a String.

sinon.match.object

Requires the value to be an Object.

sinon.match.func

Requires the value to be a Function.

sinon.match.array

Requires the value to be an Array.

sinon.match.array.deepEquals(arr)

Requires an Array to be deep equal another one.

sinon.match.array.startsWith(arr)

Requires an Array to start with the same values as another one.

sinon.match.array.endsWith(arr)

Requires an Array to end with the same values as another one.

sinon.match.array.contains(arr)

Requires an Array to contain each one of the values the given array has.

sinon.match.map

Requires the value to be a Map.

sinon.match.map.deepEquals(map)

Requires a Map to be deep equal another one.

sinon.match.map.contains(map)

Requires a Map to contain each one of the items the given map has.

sinon.match.set

Requires the value to be a Set.

sinon.match.set.deepEquals(set)

Requires a Set to be deep equal another one.

sinon.match.set.contains(set)

Requires a Set to contain each one of the items the given set has.

sinon.match.regexp

Requires the value to be a regular expression.

sinon.match.date

Requires the value to be a Date object.

sinon.match.symbol

Requires the value to be a Symbol.

sinon.match.in(array)

Requires the value to be in the array.

sinon.match.same(ref)

Requires the value to strictly equal ref.

sinon.match.typeOf(type)

Requires the value to be of the given type, where type can be one of "undefined", "null", "boolean", "number", "string", "object", "function", "array", "regexp", "date" or "symbol".

sinon.match.instanceOf(type)

Requires the value to be an instance of the given type.

sinon.match.has(property[, expectation])

Requires the value to define the given property.

The property might be inherited via the prototype chain. If the optional expectation is given, the value of the property is deeply compared with the expectation. The expectation can be another matcher.

sinon.match.hasOwn(property[, expectation])

Same as sinon.match.has but the property must be defined by the value itself. Inherited properties are ignored.

sinon.match.hasNested(propertyPath[, expectation])

Requires the value to define the given propertyPath. Dot (prop.prop) and bracket (prop[0]) notations are supported as in Lodash.get.

The propertyPath might be inherited via the prototype chain. If the optional expectation is given, the value at the propertyPath is deeply compared with the expectation. The expectation can be another matcher.

sinon.match.hasNested("a[0].b.c");

// Where actual is something like
var actual = { a: [{ b: { c: 3 } }] };

sinon.match.hasNested("a.b.c");

// Where actual is something like
var actual = { a: { b: { c: 3 } } };

sinon.match.every(matcher)

Requires every element of an Array, Set or Map, or alternatively every value of an Object to match the given matcher.

sinon.match.some(matcher)

Requires any element of an Array, Set or Map, or alternatively any value of an Object to match the given matcher.

Combining matchers

All matchers implement and and or. This allows to logically combine mutliple matchers. The result is a new matchers that requires both (and) or one of the matchers (or) to return true.

var stringOrNumber = sinon.match.string.or(sinon.match.number);
var bookWithPages = sinon.match.instanceOf(Book).and(sinon.match.has("pages"));

match(object, matcher)

Creates a custom matcher to perform partial equality check. Compares object with matcher according a wide set of rules:

String matcher

In its simplest form, match performs a case insensitive substring match. When the matcher is a string, object is converted to a string, and the function returns true if the matcher is a case-insensitive substring of object as a string.

samsam.match("Give me something", "Give"); //true
samsam.match("Give me something", "sumptn"); // false
samsam.match(
    {
        toString: function () {
            return "yeah";
        },
    },
    "Yeah!"
); // true

The last example is not symmetric. When the matcher is a string, the object is coerced to a string - in this case using toString. Changing the order of the arguments would cause the matcher to be an object, in which case different rules apply (see below).

Boolean matcher

Performs a strict (i.e. ===) match with the object. So, only true matches true, and only false matches false.

Regular expression matcher

When the matcher is a regular expression, the function will pass if object.test(matcher) is true. match is written in a generic way, so any object with a test method will be used as a matcher this way.

samsam.match("Give me something", /^[a-z\s]$/i); // true
samsam.match("Give me something", /[0-9]/); // false
samsam.match(
    {
        toString: function () {
            return "yeah!";
        },
    },
    /yeah/
); // true
samsam.match(234, /[a-z]/); // false

Number matcher

When the matcher is a number, the assertion will pass if object == matcher.

samsam.match("123", 123); // true
samsam.match("Give me something", 425); // false
samsam.match(
    {
        toString: function () {
            return "42";
        },
    },
    42
); // true
samsam.match(234, 1234); // false

Function matcher

When the matcher is a function, it is called with object as its only argument. match returns true if the function returns true. A strict match is performed against the return value, so a boolean true is required, truthy is not enough.

// true
samsam.match("123", function (exp) {
    return exp == "123";
});

// false
samsam.match("Give me something", function () {
    return "ok";
});

// true
samsam.match(
    {
        toString: function () {
            return "42";
        },
    },
    function () {
        return true;
    }
);

// false
samsam.match(234, function () {});

Object matcher

As mentioned above, if an object matcher defines a test method, match will return true if matcher.test(object) returns truthy.

If the matcher does not have a test method, a recursive match is performed. If all properties of matcher matches corresponding properties in object, match returns true. Note that the object matcher does not care if the number of properties in the two objects are the same - only if all properties in the matcher recursively matches ones in object. If supported, this object matchers include symbolic properties in the comparison.

// true
samsam.match("123", {
    test: function (arg) {
        return arg == 123;
    },
});

// false
samsam.match({}, { prop: 42 });

// true
samsam.match(
    {
        name: "Chris",
        profession: "Programmer",
    },
    {
        name: "Chris",
    }
);

// false
samsam.match(234, { name: "Chris" });

DOM elements

match can be very helpful when comparing DOM elements, because it allows you to compare several properties with one call:

var el = document.getElementById("myEl");

samsam.match(el, {
    tagName: "h2",
    className: "item",
    innerHTML: "Howdy",
});
