While this is fine and I could have perfectly moved all my tests to use said assertion style, I like the descriptive way Jest tests look like. As a quick way to maintain certain similarity I reached for ChaiJS, an assertion library that is mainly used with mocha. Chai offers expect like assertions that can arguably be more descriptive than Jest’s. Instead of writing expect(…).toBe(true), you’d write expect(…).to.be.true. For the most part I managed to do a search and replace for this.

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