The assert module provides a set of assertion functions for verifying invariants. The assert.rejects() function awaits the asyncFn promise or if the asyncFn is a function then it immediately calls the function and awaits the returned promise to complete and after that it will then check that the promise is rejected. Syntax:

assert.rejects(asyncFn[, error][, message])

Parameters: This function accepts following parameters as mentioned above and described below:

asyncFn: This parameter is async function which throws an error synchronously.
error: This parameter can be of type Class or a Regular expression or a validation function or an object where each property will be tested for. It is an optional parameter.
message: This parameter will be the message provided by the AssertionError if the asyncFn fails to reject. It is an optional parameter.

Return Value: This function returns assertion error of object type. Installation of assert module:

You can visit the link to Install assert module. You can install this package by using this command.
```
npm install assert
```
Note: Installation is an optional step as it is inbuilt Node.js module.
After installing the assert module, you can check your assert version in command prompt using the command.
```
npm version assert
```
After that, you can just create a folder and add a file for example, index.js as shown below.

Example 1: Filename: index.js

javascript

// Requiring the module
 const assert = require('assert').strict;

// Function call
(async () => {
    assert.strictEqual(1,2)
    await assert.rejects(
      async () => {
        throw new TypeError('Wrong value');
      },
      (err) => {
        assert.strictEqual(err.name, 'TypeError');
        assert.strictEqual(err.message, 'Wrong value');
        return true;
      }
    ).then(() => {
        console.log("Reject Demo")
    });
})();

Steps to run the program:

The project structure will look like this:
Run index.js file using below command:
```
node index.js
```
Output:

This error originated either by throwing inside of an async function without a catch block, or by rejecting a promise which was not handled with .catch(). To terminate the node process on unhandled promise rejection, use the CLI flag `--unhandled-rejections=strict` (see https://nodejs.org/api/cli.html#cli_unhandled_rejections_mode). (rejection id: 1)

Example 2: Filename: index.js

javascript

// Requiring the module
 const assert = require('assert').strict;

// Function call
(async () => {
    assert.strictEqual(1,1)
    await assert.rejects(
      async () => {

      },
      (err) => {

        return true;
      }
    ).then(() => {
        console.log("Reject Demo Works Successfully")
    });
})();

Run index.js file using below command:

node index.js

Output:
