formatText

[satanTime]

There is ngMocks.formatHtml, and I've seen that in jest innerText doesn't work. At least, for me its value was always empty.

Therefore, to add a helper to get only formatted text makes sense.

But, responsibility how to find related debugElements and debugNodes, I would suggest to keep outside of this function.

Own helpers can be like that

const text = selector => ngMocks.formatText(ngMocks.find(selector));

expect(text('div span')).toEqual('Text 1');

const allText = selector => ngMocks.findAll(selector)
  .map(ngMocks.formatText);

expect(allText('div span')).toEqual(['Text 1', 'Text 2', 'Text 3']);

const allTextTrim = selector => ngMocks.findAll(selector)
  .map(ngMocks.formatText)
  .map(v => v.trim());

expect(allText('div span')).toEqual(['Text 1', 'Text 2', 'Text 3']);

Idea behind own helper function is that someone may want to lowercase / uppercase text or remove all spaces etc. And to cover all possible cases in ng-mocks can end up with lots of helpers which might be complicated to maintain.
