| 9 | +Let's assume we have some `UserListComponent` exposing public stream `users$` (typeof User): |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +```typescript |
| 12 | +type User = { |
| 13 | + id: number; |
| 14 | + name: string; |
| 15 | + email: string; |
| 16 | +}; |
| 17 | +``` |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +In case we'd like to test it, for this example we'll need the following setup: |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +```typescript |
| 22 | +const usersMock: User[] = [ |
| 23 | + { id: 1, name: 'Johny Bravo', email: '[email protected]' }, |
| 24 | + { id: 2, name: 'React dev', email: '[email protected]' }, // Heey I'm just kidding, Angular 🤝 React |
| 25 | + { id: 3, name: '10x Dev', email: '[email protected]' }, |
| 26 | +]; |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +const userListComponent = { |
| 29 | + users$: of(usersMock), |
| 30 | +}; |
| 31 | +``` |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +Then you aren't limited only to use `subscribe()` on this Observable, you can pick different ways depending on your case: |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +```typescript |
| 36 | + it('done func', (done: DoneCallback) => { |
| 37 | + userListComponent.users$.subscribe((expectedUsers: User[]) => { |
| 38 | + expect(expectedUsers).toStrictEqual(usersMock); |
| 39 | + done(); |
| 40 | + }); |
| 41 | + }); |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | + it('first value from', async () => { |
| 44 | + const expectedUsers: User[] = await firstValueFrom( |
| 45 | + userListComponent.users$, |
| 46 | + ); |
| 47 | + expect(expectedUsers).toStrictEqual(usersMock); |
| 48 | + }); |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | + it('Fake async & tick', fakeAsync(() => { |
| 51 | + let expectedUsers; |
| 52 | + userListComponent.users$.subscribe((users: User[]) => |
| 53 | + setTimeout(() => { |
| 54 | + expectedUsers = users; |
| 55 | + }, 2000), |
| 56 | + ); |
| 57 | + tick(2100); |
| 58 | + expect(expectedUsers).toStrictEqual(usersMock); |
| 59 | + })); |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | + it('marbles', () => { |
| 62 | + const testScheduler = new TestScheduler((actual, expected) => { |
| 63 | + expect(actual).toStrictEqual(expected); |
| 64 | + }); |
| 65 | + testScheduler.run(({ expectObservable }) => { |
| 66 | + expectObservable(userListComponent.users$).toBe('(a|)', { |
| 67 | + a: usersMock, |
| 68 | + }); |
| 69 | + }); |
| 70 | + }); |
| 71 | +``` |
