jest unit test code example

Example 1: what is jest

Jest is a JavaScript testing framework maintained by Facebook, Inc. with a
focus on simplicity.

It works with projects using: Babel, TypeScript, Node.js, React, Angular and
Vue.js.

It aims to work out of the box and config free.

Example 2: testing with jest

npm i jest --save -dev
-> In Package.json change the Script object(watchAll - jest will run auto)
"test" : "jest --watchAll"
-> test file should be named such way that re used by jest can recognize it
like filename.<test> or <spec> or skip it.js
Ex: sum.test.js or sum.spec.js or sum.js
-> require the target for testing file in this test file then enjoy testing.

Example 3: write unit test jest first before json function

const axios = require('axios');
const Users = require('./users');

jest.mock('axios');

test('should fetch users', () => {

    const users = [{
        "id": 1,
        "first_name": "Robert",
        "last_name": "Schwartz",
        "email": "[email protected]"
    }, {
        "id": 2,
        "first_name": "Lucy",
        "last_name": "Ballmer",
        "email": "[email protected]"
    }];

    const resp = { data : users };

    axios.get.mockImplementation(() => Promise.resolve(resp));

    Users.all().then(resp => expect(resp.data).toEqual(users));
});
