Helper Functions

createTestContext

Creates TestCtx instance for the Angular Component which is not initialized yet (no ngOnInit called)

Use case: you can override Component's providers before hooks are called.

let ctx: TestCtx<MyComponent>

beforeEach(() => {
  const ctx = createTestContext(MyComponent);
});

its(('will render') => {
  expect(ctx.component).toBeTruthy();
})

createStableTestContext

Creates TestCtx instance for the Angular Component and ask Angular to perform change detection Angular lifecycle hooks (ngOninit) will be called when using this function to initialize the test context.

let ctx: TestCtx<MyComponent>

beforeEach(async () => {
  const ctx = await createStableTestContext(MyComponent);
});

its(('will render') => {
  expect(ctx.component).toBeTruthy();
})
