To unit test a nested function in Node.js, you can use tools such as Mocha and Chai. Here is an example of how you can write unit tests for a nested function:
- Install Mocha and Chai using the following command:
npm install mocha chai --save-dev
- Create a test file (e.g. test.js) and import the nested function that you want to test:
const { nestedFunction } = require('./nestedFunction.js');
const { expect } = require('chai');
describe('nestedFunction', function() {
it('should return the correct result', function() {
const result = nestedFunction(5);
expect(result).to.equal(10);
});
});
- Create a separate file (e.g. nestedFunction.js) where you define the nested function:
function nestedFunction(num) {
function multiplyByTwo(num) {
return num * 2;
}
return multiplyByTwo(num);
}
module.exports = { nestedFunction };
- Run the tests using Mocha:
npx mocha test.js
This will execute the test and give you the results. You can add more test cases to cover different scenarios and edge cases for the nested function.
