## Install

```

$ npm install --save-dev ink-testing-library

```

## Usage

```jsx

import React from 'react';

import {Text} from 'ink';

import {render} from 'ink-testing-library';

const Counter = ({count}) => Count: {count};

const {lastFrame, rerender} = render();

lastFrame() === 'Count: 0'; //=> true

rerender();

lastFrame() === 'Count: 1'; //=> true

```

```jsx

This function returns an object, which contains the following methods and properties.

#### lastFrame()

Type: `function`

Shortcut to [`stdout.lastFrame`](#lastframe-1).

#### frames

Type: `array`

Shortcut to [`stdout.frames`](#frames-1).

#### rerender(tree)

Type: `function`

##### tree

Type: `ReactElement`

Rerender root component with different props or replace with another component.

```jsx

const {rerender} = render();

rerender();

```

#### unmount()

```jsx

const {unmount} = render();

```

#### stdin

```jsx

import {useInput, Text} from 'ink';

const Test = () => {

	useInput(input => {

		console.log(input);

		//=> 'hello'

	});

	return …;

};

const {stdin} = render();

stdin.write('hello');

```

#### stdout

Type: `object`

##### lastFrame()

Type: `function`

Return the last rendered frame (output) from stdout stream.

```jsx

const Test = () => Hello;

const {stdout} = render();

stdout.lastFrame(); //=> 'Hello'

```

##### frames

Type: `array`

Array of all rendered frames, where the last frame is also the last item in that array.

```jsx

const Counter = ({count}) => Count: {count};

const {stdout, rerender} = render();

rerender();

console.log(stdout.frames); //=> ['Count: 0', 'Count: 1']

```

#### stderr

Type: `object`

##### lastFrame()

Type: `function`

Same as [`lastFrame`](#lastframe-1) in [`stdout`](#stdout), but for stderr stream.

##### frames

Type: `array`

Same as [`frames`](#frames-1) in [`stdout`](#stdout), but for stderr stream.
