Description

As a reminder, this project is being built upon the following starter project on Repl.it, or cloned from GitHub. match() asserts that the actual value matches the second argument regular expression.

Instructions

Use assert.match() to make the tests pass.

Tests

tests:
  - text: All tests should pass.
    testString: getUserInput => $.get(getUserInput('url') + '/_api/get-tests?type=unit&n=14').then(data => { assert.equal(data.state,'passed'); }, xhr => { throw new Error(xhr.responseText); })
  - text: You should choose the right assertion - match vs. notMatch.
    testString: 'getUserInput => $.get(getUserInput(''url'') + ''/_api/get-tests?type=unit&n=14'').then(data => {  assert.equal(data.assertions[0].method, ''match'', ''\''# name: John Doe, age: 35\'' matches the regex''); }, xhr => { throw new Error(xhr.responseText); })'
  - text: You should choose the right assertion - match vs. notMatch.
    testString: 'getUserInput => $.get(getUserInput(''url'') + ''/_api/get-tests?type=unit&n=14'').then(data => {  assert.equal(data.assertions[1].method, ''notMatch'', ''\''# name: Paul Smith III, age: twenty-four\'' does not match the regex (the age must be numeric)''); }, xhr => { throw new Error(xhr.responseText); })'

  Backend challenges don't need solutions, 
  because they would need to be tested against a full working project.
