What are the best practices for setting up Chai?

When setting up Chai, it's important to ensure you have a clear structure for your tests, use assertions effectively, and keep your tests isolated.

Can you explain how to structure my tests?

Sure! Organize your tests into describe blocks for grouping related tests, and use it blocks for individual test cases.

What types of assertions should I use?

You can use assertions like 'expect', 'should', or 'assert' based on your preference. Each has its own syntax and style.

How can I ensure my tests are isolated?

To keep tests isolated, avoid shared state between tests. Use beforeEach and afterEach hooks to set up and tear down your test environment.

Any tips for debugging my tests?

Yes! Use console logs to trace values, and consider using a debugger to step through your tests for better insight.
