vue-jest-utils v0.2.0

vue-jest-utils

Utilities for testing Vue.js components using Jest.

While written in TypeScript (and thus including type definitions), it can also be used in a pure JavaScript environment.

Disclaimer: this project is currently very much work-in-progress. The motivating use case is simplifying snapshot testing using a combination of Vue.js, TypeScript, Jest, and html2jade. Additional functionality will be added as needed and breaking API changes may happen before releasing 1.0. Contributions are more than welcome.

Usage

Install: npm install --save-dev vue-jest-utils

Note: Vue.js 2.0 and Jest must be installed as well.

To use Jest with Vue.js single-file components (*.vue) or TypeScript sources, follow the guide on vue-typescript-jest.

For a complete example of a TypeScript/Tsify/Vue.js/Vueify/Pug setup supporting Hot Module Replacement and unit/snapshot testing with Jest, cf. vue-typescript-component-example.

Examples

JavaScript Test Example

const Vue = require('vue')
const VJU = require('vue-jest-utils')

const CounterJs = require('../src/counter-js.vue')

describe('counter-js.vue', () => {
	it('should just work', () => {
		const vm = new Vue({
			el: document.createElement('div'),
			render: (h) => h(CounterJs),
		})
		VJU.clickNthButton(vm.$el, 1)
		VJU.clickNthButton(vm.$el, 3)
		VJU.clickNthButton(vm.$el, 2)
		// return a Promise that
		// 1. calls vm.nextTick()
		// 2. checks the snapshot of vm.$el using html2jade
		return VJU.expectToMatchSnapshot(vm)
	})
})

TypeScript Test Example

/// <reference path='../../node_modules/@types/jest/index.d.ts' />

import Vue = require('vue')
import {expectToMatchSnapshot, clickNthButton} from 'vue-jest-utils'
import CounterTs = require('../src/counter-ts.vue')

describe('counter-ts.vue', () => {
	it('should just work', () => {
		const vm = new Vue({
			el: document.createElement('div'),
			render: (h) => h(CounterTs),
		})
		clickNthButton(vm.$el, 1)
		clickNthButton(vm.$el, 3)
		clickNthButton(vm.$el, 2)
		// return a Promise that
		// 1. calls vm.nextTick()
		// 2. checks the snapshot of vm.$el using html2jade
		return expectToMatchSnapshot(vm)
	})
})
