Chai test array of objects to “contain something like” an object submatch

Question

Ok. I\'ve tried to read other questions here but still didn\'t find a straightforward answer.

How can I assert a partial object match in an array using chai? Something

Answer 1

Since chai-like@0.2.14 the following approch will work:

var chai = require('chai'),
    expect = chai.expect;

chai.use(require('chai-like'));
chai.use(require('chai-things')); // Don't swap these two

expect(data).to.be.an('array').that.contains.something.like({name: 'test'});
