How to test John papa vm.model unit testing with jasmine?

Question

I use John papa angular style guide my controller looks like:

following the style John papa style controller style guide:

function testController() {         


        

Answer 1

I would create a new module and inject it as a dependency into the app module to make it simple and testable. Testing the controller with John Papa's Style Guide:

(function () {
  'use strict';

  angular
    .module('test')
    .controller('testController', testController);

  function testController() {
    var vm = this;
    vm.model = { name: "controllerAs vm test" };
  }
})();

The spec now would look like this:

'use strict';

describe('testController', function() {
  var testController;
  beforeEach(module('test'));

  beforeEach(function () {
    inject(function($injector) {
      testController = $injector.get('$controller')('testController', {});
    });
  });

  it('should have model defined and testController.name is equal to controllerAs vm test', function() {
    expect(testController).toBeDefined();
    expect(testController.name).toEqual("controllerAs vm test");
  });
});

Hope this helps anyone looking for similar solutions.
