TestJS Summit

TestJS Summit - January, 2021

The speaker switched from Enzyme to the REACT Testing Library due to its encouragement of best practices, easier refactoring, and promotion of accessible code. The shift from class-based components to functional components in React is also highlighted. The benefits of the Testing Library include improved readability and user interaction simulation through DOM assertions, as well as its opinionated nature and focus on accessible code.

Testing Library's advantages over Enzyme for testing React: - Opinionated framework enforces best testing practices (test behavior, not integration) - Opinions on how to find elements ( role) encourages accessibility - jest-dom assertions lead to simple, readable tests - ESLint plugins help encourage best practices in real time - test output helps locate elusive elements There will be a few code examples, but this is largely a discussion (rather than a how-to). <a href="https://www.froala.com/wysiwyg-editor?pb=1"> </a>
