Methods
assert
        open fun assert(description: String, assert: AtomicAssertion.(T)->Unit): Builder<T>
      
Evaluates a condition that may pass or fail.
While this method can be used directly in a test but is typically used
inside an extension method on Assertion.Builder such as those
provided in the strikt.assertions package.
Parameters
| Name | Description | 
|---|---|
| description: String | a description for the condition the assertion evaluates. | 
| assert: AtomicAssertion.(T)->Unit | the assertion implementation that should result in a call to Assertion.pass or Assertion.fail. | 
ReturnValue
| Name | Description | 
|---|---|
| Builder<T> | this assertion builder, in order to facilitate a fluent API. |

inside an extension method on Assertion.Builder such as those
provided in the strikt.assertions package.
Parameters

|---|---|
| description: String | a description for the condition the assertion evaluates. The description may contain a String.format style placeholder for the expected value. | 
| expected: Any? | the expected value of a comparison. | 
| assert: AtomicAssertion.(T)->Unit | the assertion implementation that should result in a call to Assertion.pass or Assertion.fail. |

get
        open fun <R> get(function: T.()->R): DescribeableBuilder<R>
      
Maps the assertion subject to the result of function. This is useful for chaining to property values or method call results on the subject.
If function is a callable reference, (for example a getter or property reference) the subject description will be automatically determined for the returned assertion builder.
If function is a lambda, Strikt will make a best-effort attempt to determine an appropriate function / property name.

| function: T.()->R | a lambda whose receiver is the current assertion subject. | 
ReturnValue
| Name | Description | 
|---|---|
| DescribeableBuilder<R> | an assertion builder whose subject is the value returned by function. | 
get
        abstract fun <R> get(description: String, function: T.()->R): DescribeableBuilder<R>

|---|---|
| DescribeableBuilder<R> | an assertion builder whose subject is the value returned by function. |

with
        open fun <R> with(function: T.()->R, block: Builder<R>.()->Unit): Builder<T>
      
Runs a group of assertions on the subject returned by function.
Parameters
| Name | Description |

chain

| function: (T)->R | 
ReturnValue

chain
        open fun <R> chain(description: String, function: (T)->R): DescribeableBuilder<R>

| function: (T)->R | 
ReturnValue
| Name | Description |

not
        abstract fun not(): Builder<T>
      
Reverses any assertions chained after this method.
ReturnValue
| Name | Description | 
|---|---|
| Builder<T> | an assertion builder that negates the results of any assertions applied to its subject. | 
not
        abstract infix fun not(assertions: Builder<T>.()->Unit): Builder<T>
      
Evaluates a block of assertions on the current subject by executing them in reverse.
Parameters
| Name | Description | 
|---|---|
| assertions: Builder<T>.()->Unit | the assertions to evaluate in reverse | 
ReturnValue
| Name | Description | 
|---|---|
| Builder<T> | 
and
        abstract infix fun and(assertions: Builder<T>.()->Unit): Builder<T>
      
Evaluates a block of assertions on the current subject.
The main use for this method is after strikt.assertions.isNotNull or strikt.assertions.isA in order that a group of assertions can more conveniently be performed on the narrowed subject type.
This method may be used as an infix function which tends to enhance readability when it directly follows a lambda.
Parameters
| Name | Description | 
|---|---|
| assertions: Builder<T>.()->Unit | 
ReturnValue
| Name | Description | 
|---|---|
| Builder<T> | 
Used to construct assertions.
