# RSpec::Its [](https://travis-ci.org/rspec/rspec-its)
RSpec::Its provides the `its` method as a short-hand to specify the expected value of an attribute.
## Installation
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
```ruby
gem 'rspec-its'
```
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install rspec-its
And require it as:
```ruby
require 'rspec/its'
```
## Usage
Use the `its` method to generate a nested example group with
a single example that specifies the expected value of an attribute of the
subject using `should`, `should_not` or `is_expected`.
The `its` method can also specify the block expectations of an attribute of the
subject using `will` or `will_not`.
`its` accepts a symbol or a string, and a block representing the example.
```ruby
its(:size) { should eq(1) }
its("length") { should eq(1) }
```
You can use a string with dots to specify a nested attribute (i.e. an
attribute of the attribute of the subject).
```ruby
its("phone_numbers.size") { should_not eq(0) }
```
The following expect-style method is also available:
```ruby
its(:size) { is_expected.to eq(1) }
```
as is this alias for pluralized use:
```ruby
its(:keys) { are_expected.to eq([:key1, :key2]) }
```
The following block expect-style method is also available:
```ruby
its(:size) { will_not raise_error }
```
as is this alias for pluralized use:
```ruby
its(:keys) { will raise_error(NoMethodError) }
```
When the subject implements the `[]` operator, you can pass in an array with a single key to
refer to the value returned by that operator when passed that key as an argument.
```ruby
its([:key]) { is_expected.to eq(value) }
```
For hashes, multiple keys within the array will result in successive accesses into the hash. For example:
```ruby
subject { {key1: {key2: 3} } }
its([:key1, :key2]) { is_expected.to eq(3) }
```
For other objects, multiple keys within the array will be passed as separate arguments in a single method call to [], as in:
```ruby
subject { Matrix[ [:a, :b], [:c, :d] ] }
its([1,1]) { should eq(:d) }
```
Metadata arguments are supported.
```ruby
its(:size, focus: true) { should eq(1) }
```
