It's a npm project created to check the basic utilities of Chaijs module to create Unit Tests in a project developed in NodeJS

CHAI:

Chai is a BDD / TDD assertion library for node and the browser that can be delightfully paired with any javascript testing framework.
Chaijs page: http://chaijs.com/

INTERFACES:

Chai has several interfaces that allow the developer to choose the most comfortable. The chain-capable BDD styles provide an expressive language & readable style, while the TDD assert style provides a more classical feel:

Should:

chai.should();
foo.should.be.a('string');
foo.should.equal('bar');
foo.should.have.lengthOf(3);
tea.should.have.property('flavors').with.lengthOf(3);

Expect:

var expect = chai.expect;
expect(foo).to.be.a('string');
expect(foo).to.equal('bar');
expect(foo).to.have.lengthOf(3);
expect(tea).to.have.property('flavors').with.lengthOf(3);

Assert:

var assert = chai.assert;
assert.typeOf(foo, 'string');
assert.equal(foo, 'bar');
assert.lengthOf(foo, 3)
assert.property(tea, 'flavors');
assert.lengthOf(tea.flavors, 3);
