Mocking up static methods in jest

You can just assign the mock to the static method

import A from '../src/a'
import B from '../src/b'

jest.mock('../src/a')

describe('Wallet', () => {
    it('should work', () => {
        const mockStaticF = jest.fn().mockReturnValue('worked')

        A.staticF = mockStaticF

        const b = new B()

        const result = b.gCallsStaticF()
        expect(result).toEqual('worked')
    })
})

I managed to mock it in a separate file in the __mocks__ folder using prototyping. So you would do:

function A() {}
A.prototype.f = function() {
    return 'a.f()';
};
A.staticF = function() {
    return 'A.staticF()';
};
export default A;

Hope this will help you

// code to mock
export class AnalyticsUtil {
    static trackEvent(name) {
        console.log(name)
    }
}

// mock
jest.mock('../src/AnalyticsUtil', () => ({
    AnalyticsUtil: {
        trackEvent: jest.fn()
    }
}))

// code to mock
export default class Manager {
    private static obj: Manager
    
    static shared() {
        if (Manager.obj == null) {
            Manager.obj = new Manager()
        }
        return Manager.obj
    }
    
    nonStaticFunc() {
    }
}

// mock
jest.mock('../src/Manager', () => ({
    shared: jest.fn().mockReturnValue({
        nonStaticFunc: jest.fn()
    })
}))

// usage in code
someFunc() {
    RNDefaultPreference.set('key', 'value')
}

// mock RNDefaultPreference
jest.mock('react-native-default-preference', () => ({
    set: jest.fn()
}))

// code to mock
export namespace NavigationActions {
    export function navigate(
      options: NavigationNavigateActionPayload
    ): NavigationNavigateAction;
}

// mock
jest.mock('react-navigation', () => ({
    NavigationActions: {
        navigate: jest.fn()
    }
}))

Using Object.assign on the mock constructor allows simultaneous mocking of the class and its static methods. Doing this allows you to achieve the same structure you get when creating a class with static members.

    import A from '../src/a'
    import B from '../src/b'


    jest.mock('../src/a', () =>
      Object.assign(
        jest.fn(
          // constructor
          () => ({
            // mock instance here
            f: jest.fn()
          })),
        { 
         // mock static here
          staticF: jest.fn(),
        }
      )
    )
