  Learn how mocking in JavaScript tests works by implementing them from scratch!





In this material, we have a set of `no-framework` tests that correspond to a set

of jest tests (in the `__tests__` directory). The idea is that (with the

exception of the first test), you look at the jest version first, then see how

that would be implemented without a testing framework.

Order of material:

1.  `monkey-patching.js` (no jest version)

2.  `mock-fn.js`

3.  `spy.js`

4.  `inline-module-mock.js`

5.  `external-mock-module.js`

The files are intended to test the `thumb-war.js` module and mock the `utils`

module.

To run the tests, run `npx jest`. To start watch mode run `npx jest --watch`

## Custom jest runner.

You can definitely run the `no-framework` files just using `node` (like this:

`node src/no-framework/monkey-patching.js`), but in an effort to make running

these easier, I created a custom jest runner that uses jest to run the files,

but allow them to be run without the jest testing framework. It's really cool.

It uses [`create-jest-runner`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/create-jest-runner)

and should probably be published eventually.
