Load expect with chai/expect

[ghost]

Could expect have the same behavior of should here?

The possibility to use:

• import { expect } from 'chai'
• import expect from 'chai/expect'

Hi @llfm.

With proper transpiling, this should already work:

import { expect } from 'chai'

Edit: I should add that the purpose of the issue you linked is that, unlike expect, should requires modifications to Object.prototype, which are performed by calling should() after importing it. Therefore, the import chai/should form was added as a shortcut to condense the two steps of importing should + running should() into one step.

@llfm see my comment here for a complete list of available syntaxes (as of the upcoming 4.0.0 release):

// Plugin-less
import { expect } from 'chai'
import { assert } from 'chai'
import 'chai/should'
// if you need should.exist/should.fail etc:
import should from 'chai/should'

// With plugins
import chai from 'chai';
import somePlugin from 'some-plugin';
const expect = chai.use(somePlugin).expect

import chai from 'chai';
import somePlugin from 'some-plugin';
const assert = chai.use(somePlugin).assert

import chai from 'chai';
import somePlugin from 'some-plugin';
const should = chai.use(somePlugin).should()
