Integration Testing with React Testing Library
Render components in tests, fire events, and assert on visible output not implementation.
What Is React Testing Library?
React Testing Library (RTL) encourages testing from the user's perspective: render components, interact with them as a user would, and assert on visible output rather than implementation details.
Setup
RTL is included with Create React App and Vite's React template. For manual setup, install @testing-library/react and @testing-library/jest-dom.
// package.json
// "@testing-library/react": "^14.0.0",
// "@testing-library/jest-dom": "^6.0.0"
// setupTests.ts
import '@testing-library/jest-dom';All lessons in this course
