The idea behind mockInstance
is to create a mock object of an existing object instance.
In your particular case you would like a mock
object that first instantiates and object from a constructor and the uses the creates object as a template to create the mock object.
I previously though about creating such a (global) mock
method but finally decided against it.
My rationale was that in that could you could also just with:
mockInstance(new FooClass());
Instead of using mockInstance(FooClass.property)
I would suggest using mockInstance(new FooClass())
instead. This way you also include the properties declared on the FooClass instance itself, otherwise you only include those on the prototype.
We are using ng-improved-testing together with Typescript. It works great for most things!
Though: When creating a mock of a TypeScript class one has to use:
mockInstance(FooClass.prototype)
instead of justmockInstance(FooClass)
.This would be nice as it increases readability.
