jasmine parameter test using generics based on JP Castro's Jasmine Data Provider http://blog.jphpsf.com/2012/08/30/drying-up-your-javascript-jasmine-tests/

Installation

npm install jasmine-data-provider-ts

Usage with Array

import {TestCase} from 'jasmine-data-provider-ts'

describe('parameterised test', () => {
    TestCase<string>(['Almada', 'Lisboa', 'Cascais'], (value)=>{
        it(`should not be null: '${value}'`, () => {
            expect(value).not.toBeNull();
        });
    })
});

Usage with function

  function provider() {
    return [
      { a: 2, b: 3, expected: 5 },

      { a: 12, b: "13", expected: "1213" },
      { a: "22", b: "13", expected: "2213" }
    ];
  }
  
  TestSource<any>(provider, function(data) {
    it("should return value using operator +", function() {
      var result = data.a + data.b;
      expect(result).toEqual(data.expected);
    });
  });
