What Is Jasmine? Why Use Jasmine In Angular?

The Jasmine is a test framework provides for JavaScript to write tests and the aim of Jasmine to run on any JavaScript enabled platform like AngularJs, Angular, and Node.js and so on.

It is easy to read and write the tests and this test runner executes tests in the browsers.

The Jasmine previously developed a similar unit testing framework called JsUnit.

The package.json contents should now have the following -
  "devDependencies": {
    "@angular/cli": "1.5.0",
    "@angular/compiler-cli": "^5.0.0",
    "@angular/language-service": "^5.0.0",
    "@types/jasmine": "~2.5.53",
    "@types/jasminewd2": "~2.0.2",
    "@types/node": "~6.0.60",
    "codelyzer": "~3.2.0",
    "jasmine-core": "~2.6.2",
    "jasmine-spec-reporter": "~4.1.0",
    "karma": "~1.7.0",
    "karma-chrome-launcher": "~2.1.1",
    "karma-cli": "~1.0.1",
    "karma-coverage-istanbul-reporter": "^1.2.1",
    "karma-jasmine": "~1.1.0",
    "karma-jasmine-html-reporter": "^0.2.2",
    "protractor": "~5.1.2",
    "ts-node": "~3.2.0",
    "tslint": "~5.7.0",
    "typescript": "~2.4.2"
  }

Jasmine provides a rich set of Pre-defined Matchers - default set of matchers
1.     expect(number).toBeGreaterThan(number);
2.     expect(number).toBeLessThan(number);
3.     expect(array).toContain(member);
4.     expect(array).toBeArray();
5.     expect(fn).toThrow(string);
6.     expect(fn).toThrowError(string);
7.     expect(instance).toBe(instance); represents the exact equality (===) operator.
8.     expect(mixed).toBeDefined();
9.     expect(mixed).toBeFalsy();
10.  expect(mixed).toBeNull();
11.  expect(mixed).toBeTruthy();
12.  expect(mixed).toBeUndefined();
13.  expect(mixed).toEqual(mixed);   represents the regular equality (==) operator.
14.  expect(mixed).toMatch(pattern);  calls the RegExp match() method behind the scenes to compare string data.
15.  expect(number).toBeCloseTo(number, decimalPlaces);
16.  expect(number).toBeNaN();
17.  expect(spy).toHaveBeenCalled();
18.  expect(spy).toHaveBeenCalledTimes(number);
19.  expect(date).toBeAfter(otherDate);
20.  expect(date).toBeBefore(otherDate);
21.  expect(date).toBeDate();
22.  expect(date).toBeValidDate();
23.  expect(object).toHaveDate(memberName);
24.  expect(object).toHaveDateAfter(memberName, date);
25.  expect(object).toHaveDateBefore(memberName, date);
26.  expect(regexp).toBeRegExp();
27.  expect(string).toBeEmptyString();
28.  expect(string).toBeHtmlString();
29.  expect(string).toBeIso8601();
30.  expect(string).toBeJsonString();
31.  expect(string).toBeLongerThan();
32.  expect(string).toBeString();

Default set of Asymmetric Matchers-
1.     jasmine.any(Constructor);
2.     jasmine.anything(mixed);
3.     jasmine.arrayContaining(mixed);
4.     jasmine.objectContaining(mixed);
5.     jasmine.stringMatching(pattern);

Example - By Karma and Jasmine in Angular Apps
import { TestBed, async } from '@angular/core/testing';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';

describe('AppComponent', () => {
  beforeEach(async(() => {
    TestBed.configureTestingModule({
      declarations: [
        AppComponent
      ],
    }).compileComponents();
  }));

  it('should create the app', async(() => {
    const fixture = TestBed.createComponent(AppComponent);
    const app = fixture.debugElement.componentInstance;
   
    expect(app).toBeTruthy();
  }));

  it(`should have as title 'app'`, async(() => {
    const fixture = TestBed.createComponent(AppComponent);
    const app = fixture.debugElement.componentInstance;

    expect(app.title).toEqual('app');
  }));

  it('should render title in a h1 tag', async(() => {
    const fixture = TestBed.createComponent(AppComponent);
    fixture.detectChanges();
    const compiled = fixture.debugElement.nativeElement;

    expect(compiled.querySelector('h1').textContent).toContain('Welcome to app!');
  }));
});

nullinjectorerror no provider for httpclient angular 17

In Angular 17 where the standalone true option is set by default, the app.config.ts file is generated in src/app/ and provideHttpClient(). We can be added to the list of providers in app.config.ts Step 1:   To provide HttpClient in a standalone app we could do this in the app.config.ts file, app.config.ts: import { ApplicationConfig } from '@angular/core'; import { provideRouter } from '@angular/router'; import { routes } from './app.routes'; import { provideClientHydration } from '@angular/platform-browser'; //This (provideHttpClient) will help us to resolve the issue  import {provideHttpClient} from '@angular/common/http'; export const appConfig: ApplicationConfig = {   providers: [ provideRouter(routes),  provideClientHydration(), provideHttpClient ()      ] }; The appConfig const is used in the main.ts file, see the code, main.ts : import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser'; import { appConfig } from ...
