Question

I am writing unit test using Jasmine in a web app using BackboneJS.
There are a lot of examples showing you how to check a value in this way:

        it("should set the id property to default value", function()
        {
            expect(this.task.get("id")).toEqual(null);
        });

But I can’t find any example checking if an attribute whether is number or string in Javascript using Jasmine.

Is it appropriate to make a check like this?
If yes, what is the proper way to make it?

Example: I want to check if the id is an integer > 0. How can I make it in Jasmine?

Answer 1

I would make something like this:

    describe("when instantiated", function() 
    {
        it("should exhibit attributes", function () 
        {  
            .....
            expect(this.task.get("id")).toMatch(/\d{1,}/);
            .....
        });
    });
