Spying on a constructor using Jasmine

by

flipCounter is just another function, even if it also happens to construct an object. Hence you can do:

var cSpy = spyOn(window, 'flipCounter');

to obtain a spy on it, and do all sorts of inspections on it or say:

var cSpy = spyOn(window, 'flipCounter').andCallThrough();
var counter = flipCounter('foo', options);
expect(cSpy).wasCalled();

However, this seems overkill. It would be enough to do:

var myFlipCounter = new flipCounter("counter", options);
expect(myFlipCounter).toBeDefined();
expect(myFlipCounter.getValue(foo)).toEqual(bar);
