How to test class constructor in Jest

Question

Let's say I have a class like following:

class SomeClass {
  constructor(a, b) {
    this.a = a;
    this.b = b;
  }
}

How can I test through Jest that constructor was initialized the right way? Say... this.a = a and this.b = b and not vice versa?

I know that I can execute toBeCalledWith but that won't let me check the constructor's logic. I was also thinking about making mockImplementation but in this case it seems pointless as I will rewrite the logic, or I may not be aware of all the nuances of creating mocks

Answer 1

Just create an instance of the object and check it directly. Since it sets them on this, they are essentially public values:

it('works', () => {
  const obj = new SomeClass(1, 2);
  expect(obj.a).toBe(1);
  expect(obj.b).toBe(2);
});
