Unit Testing/mocking Window properties in Angular2 (TypeScript)

Question

I\'m building some unit tests for a service in Angular2.

Within my Service I have the following code:

var hash: string; hash = this.window.location.h

Answer 1

After RC4 method provide() its depracated, so the way to handle this after RC4 is:

  let myMockWindow: Window;

  beforeEach(() => {
    myMockWindow =  { location:  {hash: 'WAOW-MOCK-HASH'}};
    addProviders([SomeService, {provide: Window, useValue: myMockWindow}]);
  });

It take me a while to figure it out, how it works.
