AngularJS Essentials

Chapter 7
Before writing the test, you should take care about the existing dependencies in
your code. In this case, inside the _calculateTicket function, we are creating a
Date object by calling the new operator. This kind of a situation should be avoided,
otherwise you can't write an effective test.
The following code considers the depart property inside the parked car object. In
this way, we could manage the depart property, and thus be able to test it properly:
parkingFactoryFunction.js
var parkingFactoryFunction = function () {
var _calculateTicket = function (car) {
var departHour = car.depart.getHours();
var entranceHour = car.entrance.getHours();
var parkingPeriod = departHour - entranceHour;
var parkingPrice = parkingPeriod * 10;
return {
period: parkingPeriod,
price: parkingPrice
};
};
return {
calculateTicket: _calculateTicket
};
};
The creation of the parkingFactoryFunctionSpec function starts by calling the
describe function. It takes a description of the specification and a function that
contains the test scenarios:
parkingFactoryFunctionSpec.js
describe("Parking Factory Function Specification", function () {
});
Now, we need to create each of our test scenarios through the it function. Here, we
will need to place a description and expectation for each test:
parkingFactoryFunctionSpec.js
describe("Parking Factory Function Specification", function () {
it("Should calculate the ticket for a car that arrives any day at
08:00 and departs in the same day at 16:00", function () {
var car = {place: "AAA9988", color: "Blue"};
