ActualPlaceholder.type property

A string representing the type of the actual value in an expect() statement.

Signature:

type: string;

Remarks

By default, this value gets set automatically via the macro typeOf.

But you can optionally override this for custom types via ExpectMessageBuilder.actualType().

Let's say we were checking if a value was an array:

new ExpectMessageBuilder(
 `Expected ${place.actual.value} (${place.actual.type}) to be an array`
);

We'd get output like:

Expected '5' (number) to be an array
