react-native-render-builder
Encapsulate Context/Data Providers when testing Components and Hooks in React-Native
Extension of @testing-library/react-native render and renderHook functions with a builder interface for easily reusing setup of your JSX tree.
Install
yarn
yarn add --dev react-native-render-builder
npm
npm install --save-dev react-native-render-builder
This library has a peerDependencies listing for @testing-library/react-native. Make sure you install it alongside this library.
Usage
First create your RenderBuilder with any builder methods for adding in components you want
import { CounterProvider } from './CounterContext';
import { ReactRenderBuilder } from 'react-native-render-builder';
export class RenderBuilder extends ReactRenderBuilder {
counter(initialValue: number): this {
this.addElement(children => <CounterProvider initialValue={initialValue} children={children}/>);
return this;
}
}
Then you can use it in your tests
import React from 'react';
import { Text, View } from 'react-native';
import { describe, expect, it } from '@jest/globals';
import { useCounter } from './CounterContext';
import { RenderBuilder } from './RenderBuilder';
describe('hello with counter 1', () => {
const renderBuilder = new RenderBuilder().counter(1);
it('render correct string in Hello Component', () => {
const renderApi = renderBuilder.render(<Hello/>);
renderApi.getByText('Hello 1');
});
it('returns correct string in useHelloHook', () => {
const helloText = renderBuilder.renderHookResult(useHelloHook);
expect(helloText).toEqual('Hello 1');
});
});
function Hello() {
const counterValue = useHelloHook();
return (
<View>
<Text>{counterValue}</Text>
</View>
);
}
function useHelloHook() {
const counterValue = useCounter();
return `Hello ${counterValue.value}`;
}
Documentation
ReactRenderBuilder
Wraps @testing-library/react-native render and renderHook functions with a builder interface for easily reusing setup of your JSX tree.
Typically, you will extend this class (as in the example above) and add in builder methods you will use in your tests for reusing JSX Tree setup.
Methods
addElement
Only to be used on your extension of ReactRenderBuilder
, this is used in your builder methods for wrapping a component
in the tree.
Parameters
- wrapperElement: ProviderFunction that is a function that given a child element returns an Element wrapped with that child.
Example
this.addElement(children => <MyContext children={children}/>);
render
Wraps @testing-library/react-native render
function, but wraps given element with tree constructed via addElement
in builder methods.
Parameters
- element: React JSX Element to render
Returns
- renderAPI: @testing-library/react-native RenderAPI
Example
const renderAPI = new RenderBuilder().render(<MyComponent/>);
toJSX
Returns JSX Tree that will be passed to render
. Useful for debugging or for rerendering via the
rerender method from
the RenderAPI.
Parameters
- element: React JSX Element to render
Returns
- JSX element that is the entire tree
Example
const jsxTree = new RenderBuilder().toJSX(<MyComponent/>);
renderHook
Wraps @testing-library/react-native renderHook
function, but wraps given hook with tree constructed via addElement
in builder methods.
Parameters
- hook: React Hook to render
Returns
- renderHookResult: @testing-library/react-native RenderHookResult
Example
const renderHookResult = new RenderBuilder().renderHook(useMyHook);
renderHookResult
Same as renderHook
but returns the given hooks return value. Same as calling renderHook(useMyHook).result.current
.
Parameters
- hook: React Hook to render
Returns
- return value of given hook
Example
const helloString = new RenderBuilder().renderHookResult(() => useHello('John'));
