document.createElement in jasmine.js

Question

When I try to run this code in jasmine.js test

document.createElement(tag);

I get this error

ReferenceError: document is not defined

I understand, the document object is not available in jasmine.js tests, but how can I dynamically create a new HTML element?

Use jsdom

var jsdom = require('jsdom').jsdom;
var element = jsdom('<div></div>').querySelector('div');
