  Use DOM Testing Library to test any JS framework





  
TestingJavaScript.com

  

    

  





Anything you can render to the DOM, you can test with DOM Testing Library.

This repo is a bunch of simple examples of using DOM Testing Library to test a

`Counter` component in various frameworks. If your framework of choice is not

listed here, please add it!

## Contributing

> NOTE: In the interest of full disclosure, this repository will be used by me

> to create a course on testing for which I will be paid.

The prime example is this react version:

```javascript

// adds handy assertions we'll use

import '@testing-library/jest-dom/extend-expect'

// framework imports

import * as React from 'react'

import ReactDOM from 'react-dom'

// DOM Testing Library utilities

// note: if your framework does not apply updates to the DOM synchronously

// then you can use the userEventAsync export in ./user-event-async.js

// see hyperapp.test.js for an example of this.

import {getQueriesForElement} from '@testing-library/dom'

import userEvent from '@testing-library/user-event'

// the component in your framework

function Counter() {

  const [count, setCount] = React.useState(0)

  const increment = () => setCount(c => c + 1)

  return (

    


      {count}

    

  )

}


// a generic "render" method that you could use for any component for

// your framework

function render(ui) {

  const container = document.createElement('div')

  document.body.appendChild(container)

  ReactDOM.render(ui, container)

  return {

    container,

    ...getQueriesForElement(container),

  }

}

// the test.

// This test _should_ look almost identical between each framework

// that's the idea that I'm trying to get across in this repo!

test('renders a counter', () => {

  const {getByText} = render()

  const counter = getByText('0')

  userEvent.click(counter)

  expect(counter).toHaveTextContent('1')

  userEvent.click(counter)

  expect(counter).toHaveTextContent('2')

})

```

If you can make your example resemble that, I would be thrilled :)

### IMPORTANT Notes

I want to keep things as simple as possible, but I also want to be true to

what's typical for a given framework. If your framework strongly encourages the

use of TypeScript for example, then please feel free to use TypeScript (Jest

should already be configured to pick it up properly).

If Jest is not the testing framework of choice for your web framework, I'd still

prefer to stick with Jest. Hopefully it shouldn't make much of a difference for

the test itself.

Try really hard to keep everything in a single file, even if that means

authoring your component in a slightly non-typical way.

This project is setup with prettier, husky, and lint-staged. That means that

when you commit, a git commit hook will automatically format the files you're

changing and run the tests relevant to those files. Neat right?
