jest-matcher-vue-test-utils

Cute matchers for Jest to test Vue components with Vue Test Utils.

You can write tests for Vue component/store intuitively ⚡️

it("Emits 'select' event by clicking PrimaryButton", () => {
  const wrapper = shallowMount(Component);
  
  expect(wrapper.emitted().select).toBeUndefined();
  wrapper.find(PrimaryButton).vm.$emit("click");
  expect(wrapper.emitted().select[0]).toBeTruthy();
});
Ts

becomes

it("Emits 'select' event by clicking PrimaryButton", () => {
  const wrapper = shallowMount(Component);
  
  expect(() => {
    wrapper.find(PrimaryButton).vm.$emit("click");
  }).toEmit(wrapper, "select");
});
Ts

And all matchers have type definition and doc ?‍♂️

jest-matcher-vue-test-utils

Installation

Get from npm:

$ npm install -D jest-matcher-vue-test-utils
Sh

Then, register matchers on your jest process:

import vueTestUtilMatchers from "jest-matcher-vue-test-utils";
expect.extend({ ...vueTestUtilMatchers });
Js

Provided Matchers

Existence on Wrapper

toShow

Assert the function shows a content on Wrapper of vue-test-utils 
// error-message.vue
<template>
  <div>
    <p v-if="isError" class="error">message</p>
  </div>
</template>

...

data: function () {
  return {
    isError: false
  }
},
methods: {
  showError () {
    this.isError = true;
  }
}
Js
import Component from "./error-message.vue";

it("show error by showError", async () => {
  return expect(async () => {
    wrapper.vm.showError();
    await wrapper.vm.$nextTick();
  }).toShow(wrapper, "p.error"); // Passes
});
Js

toHide

Assert the function hides a content on Wrapper of vue-test-utils 
// error-message.vue
<template>
  <div>
    <p v-if="isError" class="error">message</p>
  </div>
</template>

...

data: function () {
  return {
    isError: true
  }
},
methods: {
  hideError () {
    this.isError = false;
  }
}
Js
import Component from "./error-message.vue";

it("show error by showError", async () => {
  return expect(async () => {
    wrapper.vm.hideError();
    await wrapper.vm.$nextTick();
  }).toHide(wrapper, "p.error"); // Passes
});
Js

Events on Wrapper

toEmit

Assert the action emits the event (with the payload optionally) on Wrapper of vue-test-utils 
// event.vue

</template>

<script>
module.exports = {
  methods: {
    emitEvent (e) {
      this.$emit("special", e);
    }
  }
}
</script>
Js
import Component from "./event.vue";

  const wrapper = shallowMount(Component);
  expect(() => wrapper.trigger("click")).toEmit(wrapper, "special"); // Passes
  expect(() => wrapper.trigger("click")).toEmit(wrapper, "special", "clicked"); // Passes
});
Js

Async function is supported as well.

Vuex actions/mutations

toDispatch

Assert the function dispatches Vuex action on the component 
// click-store.vue

module.exports = {
  methods: {
    dispatchStore (e) {
      this.$store.dispatch('awesomeAction', e);
    }
  }
}
</script>
Js
import Component from "./click-store.vue";

it("Dispatches the action on store by click", () => {
  const wrapper = shallowMount(Component);
  expect(() => {
    wrapper.trigger("click");
  }).toDispatch(wrapper, "awesomeAction"); // Passes

  expect(() => {
    wrapper.trigger("click");
  }).toDispatch(wrapper, "awesomeAction", 'click'); // Passes
});
Js

Async function is supported as well.

it("dispatches the action on store by click", async () => {

Config

We can configure the matchers. Currently accepting mountOptions property to give options for shallowMount which is running in inside of matchers.

import vueTestUtilMatchers, { config } from "jest-matcher-vue-test-utils";
import { createLocalVue } from "@vue/test-utils";

config({
  mountOptions: { localVue: createLocalVue() }
});
