React Testing Tutorial (Jest + React Testing Library)

Ғылым және технология

Learn how to write unit tests for your React components using Jest and the React Testing Library.
We will be writing some unit tests for React components using the Jest framework (jestjs.io/). We will begin by creating a react app using create-react-app. Then we will create a component & write some unit tests for it. We will finish by writing some snapshot tests to verify changes to the component tree.

    Thank you Kris for the wonderful learning videos . Just a small suggestion. The test was failing with '' so at 16:44 please change from expect(todoElement).toContainHTML(''); to expect(todoElement).toContainHTML('strike');

Probably some improvement here and there? And maybe you could help to explain about testing user event + mocking child component inside the component being tested. Thanks !

    my 2 cents - I believe that a to-do item would typically be an item in a list, therefore don't use DIV tag but LI (list item). it will also help your accessibility efforts and spread good practices and love :) edit: the same with the h1 element use - h1 is a main header of a page, Header level 1. pages should typically have only one element like that. why not use just P, Span or Strong instead? (check udacity course about Web Accessibility) + I'd love to see how you test state changes of elements, especially of parent and child element, each of them having co-related states
