Jest Mock React

Don't like shallow rendering and want to mock specific child components for your component tests? Jest Mock React helps you to easily mock components and assert on the rendered component.

Installation

1. Install the module as one of your project's devDependencies:

npm install --save-dev jest-mock-react

1. Add plugin jest-mock-react/babel to your babel configuration. Either in .babelrc, .babelrc.js, babel.config.js or package.json

  "babel": {
    "plugins": [
      "jest-mock-react/babel"
    ]
  },

1. Add jest-mock-react/extend-expect.js to your jest configuration. Either in jest.config.js or package.json

  "jest": {
    "setupFilesAfterEnv": [
      "jest-mock-react/extend-expect.js"
    ]
  },

Usage

1. Use mockComponents function to mock react components. You do not need to import this function in your test file. You can pass all your components to be mocked as argument.

import { render } from '@testing-library/react';
import App from './App';
import InnerComp from './InnerComp';
import { InnerComp2 } from './InnerComp2';

mockComponents(InnerComp, InnerComp2);

test('should render App', () => {
  ...
})

1. Use custom matchers described below to assert on the component mocked.

Custom matchers

1. toHaveBeenRendered

import { render } from '@testing-library/react';
import App from './App';
import InnerComp from './InnerComp';
import { InnerComp2 } from './InnerComp2';

mockComponents(InnerComp, InnerComp2);

test('should render App', () => {
  render(<App />)
  expect(InnerComp).toHaveBeenRendered()
})

2. toHaveBeenRenderedTimes

import { render } from '@testing-library/react';
import App from './App';
import InnerComp from './InnerComp';
import { InnerComp2 } from './InnerComp2';

mockComponents(InnerComp, InnerComp2);

test('should render App', () => {
  render(<App />)
  expect(InnerComp).toHaveBeenRenderedTimes(2)
})

3. toHaveBeenRenderedWithProps

import { render } from '@testing-library/react';
import App from './App';
import InnerComp from './InnerComp';
import { InnerComp2 } from './InnerComp2';

mockComponents(InnerComp, InnerComp2);

test('should render App', () => {
  render(<App />)
  expect(InnerComp).toHaveBeenRenderedWithProps({
    prop1: 'value1',
    prop2: 'value2',
  })
})

4. toHaveBeenRenderedWithProp

import { render } from '@testing-library/react';
import App from './App';
import InnerComp from './InnerComp';
import { InnerComp2 } from './InnerComp2';

mockComponents(InnerComp, InnerComp2);

test('should render App', () => {
  render(<App />)
  expect(InnerComp).toHaveBeenRenderedWithProps('prop1')
  expect(InnerComp2).toHaveBeenRenderedWithProps('prop1', 'value1')
})
