Once required, the module is registered with rspec for all example groups.

Adding html to DOM

It is often convenient to have some HTML code ready in the dom for testing. This helper method adds the given html string. More so, the html is then removed at the end of each test. This is cruicial as it ensures that the specified html code is inserted before each test, therefore ensuring that html code changed by a test will not affect any other tests in the same scope.

describe "Check DOM code" do
  html '<div id="foo"></div>'

  it "foo should exist" do
    expect(Document['#foo']).to_not be_empty
  end
end
