## assert
▸ **assert**(test: *`any`*, message: * `string` &#124; `MessageFn`*, code?: *`number`*, data?: *`any`*): `boolean`
*Defined in [assert.ts:27](https://github.com/polkadot-js/common/blob/e5cab29/packages/util/src/assert.ts#L27)*
*__name__*: assert
*__signature__*: assert (test: any, message: string | () => string, code: number = ExtError.CODES.ASSERT, data: any): void
*__summary__*: Checks for a valid test, if not ExtError is thrown.
*__description__*: Checks that `test` is a truthy value. If value is falsy (`null`, `undefined`, `false`, ...), it throws an ExtError with the supplied `message` and an optional `code` and `data`. When `test` passes, `true` is returned.
*__example__*:
```javascript
const { assert } from '@polkadot/util';
assert(true, 'True should be true'); // true returned
assert(false, 'False should not be true'); // ExtError thrown
assert(false, () => 'message'); // ExtError with 'message'
```
**Parameters:**
| Name | Type | Default value |
| ------ | ------ | ------ |
| test | `any` | - |
| message | `string` &#124; `MessageFn`| - |
| `Default value` code | `number` | ExtError.CODES.ASSERT |
| `Optional` data | `any` | - |
**Returns:** `boolean`
