Suggest using the built-in equality matchers (prefer-equality-matcher
)
Jest has built-in matchers for expecting equality which allow for more readable tests and error messages if an expectation fails.
Rule details
This rule checks for strict equality checks (===
& !==
) in tests that
could be replaced with one of the following built-in equality matchers:
toBe
toEqual
toStrictEqual
Examples of incorrect code for this rule:
expect(x === 5).toBe(true);
expect(name === 'Carl').not.toEqual(true);
expect(myObj !== thatObj).toStrictEqual(true);
