Test numerical range with Jasmine

See here for the original answer.

Depending on how specific you need it to be, you could create a range of +-1 second or some similar number with toBeWithinRange from the Jasmine Matchers package:

expect(createdTime).toBeWithinRange(Date.now() - 1000, Date.now() + 1000)

With this method you will have to test the createdTime separately from the other test, but that shouldn't be too big of an issue. You just need to assign the return property that you want to the variable createdTime.

Edit- A similar method with a more clear matcher is using toBeNear:

expect(createdTime).toBeNear(Date.now(), 2);

This will be true if the date assigned to createdTime is within two seconds of the date when the test runs.

Edit 2- to exclude object keys when testing, you can follow an example here. This is how you would do it in your case:

var joc = jasmine.objectContaining;
expect(fun("abc", 1))
.toEqual(joc({
  name: "abc",
  id: 1
}));
