Testing React Components with Jest

What is Jest?

  • Built by the FB team for the purpose of testing their React components.
  • Built on top of Jasmine.

Getting Setup with Jest

  • Adding Jest to your project
  • Getting a basic test up an running to make sure we set up Jest properly.

Basic testing of a component

  • Writing a basic test to see if our component was mounted
  • What is TestUtils and how can we utilize it for testing

More advanced testing

  • Passing in props and making sure the components are rendering with the correct props.
  • Testing state? Haven't gotten to learning to much about this yet.
