I have a pipe that sanatises HTML as below:
import { Pipe, PipeTransform } from '@angular/core';
import { DomSanitizer } from '@angular/platform-browser';
@Pipe({
name: 'sanitiseHtml'
})
export class SanitiseHtmlPipe implements PipeTransform {
constructor(private _sanitizer: DomSanitizer) {}
transform(value: any): any {
return this._sanitizer.bypassSecurityTrustHtml(value);
}
}
I want to test it as below:
describe('Pipe: Sanatiser', () => {
let pipe: SanitiseHtmlPipe;
beforeEach(() => {
pipe = new SanitiseHtmlPipe(new DomSanitizer());
});
it('create an instance', () => {
expect(pipe).toBeTruthy();
});
});
The DomSanatizer is an abstract class which is autowired by typescript by passing it into a constructor:
constructor(private _sanitizer: DomSanitizer) {}
Currently I get the typescript errror:
Cannot create an instance of the abstract class 'DomSanitizer'.
Does anyone know what typescript does when instantiating dependencies passed into a constructor in Angular? Or what the way to test something like this is?
