How does chai.expect work?

chai.expect is a function provided by the Chai assertion library in JavaScript, which allows you to make assertions and test for specific behaviors in your code by creating a chain of expressions that evaluate the value of an object or expression. When you use chai.expect to create an assertion, you start by calling the function on the value you want to test, and then you chain together one or more methods that evaluate the value in some way, such as to.be.equal() to check if two values are equal. Finally, you end the chain with a method that throws an error if the assertion fails, such as to.throw() or to.not.throw().

const chai = require("chai");
const expect = chai.expect;

describe("Array", function () {
  describe("#indexOf()", function () {
    it("should return -1 when the value is not present", function () {
      const arr = [1, 2, 3];
      const val = 4;
      expect(arr.indexOf(val)).to.equal(-1);
    });
  });
});

In this example, chai is required and expect is assigned to the expect function provided by chai. The test suite then describes an array and its indexOf() method. An expectation is set up that when the value 4 is searched for in the array, the result should be -1.

Cucumber will automatically load RSpec's matchers and expectation methods to be
available in your step definitions. For example:

```ruby
Given /^a nice new bike$/ do
  expect(bike).to be_shiny
end
```

If you want to configure RSpec, you'll need to also add the `rspec-core` gem
