Setup

Setup

To get started, we need to do a little bit of setup. Install the following dependencies.

  • babel-eslint

  • babel-preset-es2015

  • babel-preset-react

  • babel-preset-stage-0

  • babel-register

  • chai

  • enzyme

  • jsdom

  • mock-localstorage

  • react-addons-test-utils

  • redux-mock-store

  • sinon

  • mocha

  • nock

Enzyme

Enzyme allows for rendering of React Components in three different ways: render (static component), shallow (isolated component), mount (full DOM). Most components can be shallow rendered and tested in isolation. Enzyme allows for searching of the rendered component for testing (i.e. .find).

We will be using Mocha as the test runner. View the API Documentation for further details.

JSDOM

When using Enzyme to render component via mount (full DOM), you can use jsdom as a headless browser since mount requires a DOM environment.
