Test Harnesses

getTestUtils()

getTestUtils() is a util that allows consumers to reliably interact with LG Checkbox in a product test suite. If the Checkbox component cannot be found, an error will be thrown.

Usage

import Checkbox, { getTestUtils } from '@leafygreen-ui/checkbox';

const utils = getTestUtils(lgId?: string); // lgId refers to the custom `data-lgid` attribute passed to `Checkbox`. It defaults to 'lg-checkbox' if left empty.

Single Checkbox

import { render } from '@testing-library/react';
import Checkbox, { getTestUtils } from '@leafygreen-ui/checkbox';

...

test('checkbox', () => {
  render(<Checkbox label="label" checked />);
  const { getInput, getInputValue } = getTestUtils();

  expect(getInput()).toBeInTheDocument();
  expect(getInputValue()).toBe(true);
});

Multiple Checkbox components

When testing multiple Checkbox components it is recommended to add the custom data-lgid attribute to each Checkbox.

import { render } from '@testing-library/react';
import Checkbox, { getTestUtils } from '@leafygreen-ui/checkbox';

...

test('checkbox', () => {
  render(
    <>
      <Checkbox data-lgid="checkbox-1" label="label 1" />
      <Checkbox data-lgid="checkbox-2" label="label 2" checked />
    </>,
  );
  const utilsOne = getTestUtils('checkbox-1'); // data-lgid
  const utilsTwo = getTestUtils('checkbox-2'); // data-lgid
  // First Checkbox
  expect(utilsOne.checkboxetInput()).toBeInTheDocument();
  expect(utilsOne.getInputValue()).toBe(false);

  // Second Checkbox
  expect(utilsTwo.getInput()).toBeInTheDocument();
  expect(utilsTwo.getInputValue()).toBe(true);
});

Checkbox with other LG form elements

import { render } from '@testing-library/react';
import Toggle, { getTestUtils as getLGToggleTestUtils } from '@leafygreen-ui/toggle';
import TextInput, { getTestUtils as getLGTextInputTestUtils } from '@leafygreen-ui/text-input';
import Checkbox, { getTestUtils } from '@leafygreen-ui/checkbox';

...

test('Form', () => {
  render(
    <Form>
      <Toggle aria-label="Toggle label" />
      <TextInput label="TextInput label" />
      <Checkbox label="Checkbox label" />
    </Form>,
  );

  const toggleInputUtils = getLGToggleTestUtils();
  const textInputUtils = getLGTextInputTestUtils();
  const checkboxUtils = getTestUtils();

  // LG Toggle
  expect(toggleInputUtils.getInput()).toBeInTheDocument();
  expect(toggleInputUtils.getInputValue()).toBe('false');

  // LG TextInput
  expect(textInputUtils.getInput()).toBeInTheDocument();
  expect(textInputUtils.getInputValue()).toBe('');

  // LG Checkbox
  expect(checkboxUtils.getInput()).toBeInTheDocument();
  expect(checkboxUtils.getInputValue()).toBe(false);
});
