Mocking react-beautiful-dnd with Jest












0















The recommended approach to test components using react-beautiful-dnd hasn't been defined yet. However, this is somewhat blocking me.



I can test my components using react-beautiful-dnd by wrapping them in DragDropContext as per this recommendation:



import React from 'react'
import {render} from 'react-testing-library'
import {DragDropContext} from 'react-beautiful-dnd'

import List from '../List'

describe('List', () => {

it('renders', () => {
const title = 'title'
const {container, getByText} = render(
<DragDropContext onDragEnd={() => {}}>
<List>
<li>{title}</li>
</List>
</DragDropContext>
)
expect(container.firstChild).toBeInTheDocument()
expect(getByText(title)).toBeInTheDocument()
})
})


However, this seems like a sub-optimal approach. Instead, I would like to mock react-beautiful-dnd, but I can't figure out how to do that correctly.



Say, if my List component is wrapped in Droppable like so:



return (
<Droppable droppableId='id'>
{provided =>
<ListContainer
ref={provided.innerRef}
{...provided.droppableProps}
>
{children}
{provided.placeholder}
</ListContainer>
}
</Droppable>
)


how do I write the mock for a component using the render prop approach (which Droppable does)?



jest.mock('react-beautiful-dnd', () => ({
Droppable: props => props.children()
}))


The above would work for a higher-order component. How do I change it to work for a component implementing the render prop?

  • I probably misunderstood something, but I don't see why your mock would not work. I think in the hoc you would return props.children from the mock, and with render prop it's props.children()

  • Hi @HermanStarikov. The thing is, the render prop should be a function that contains a provided argument, as that will then provide props to children. If I run the code as-is, I get an error: Warning: React.createElement: type is invalid -- expected a string (for built-in components) or a class/function (for composite components) but got: undefined. You likely forgot to export your component from the file it's defined in, or you might have mixed up default and named imports.
