What is @types/testing-library__dom?
@types/testing-library__dom provides TypeScript definitions for the DOM Testing Library, which is a part of the Testing Library family. It helps in writing tests that interact with the DOM in a way that resembles how a user would interact with it.
What are @types/testing-library__dom's main functionalities?
Querying Elements
This feature allows you to query DOM elements by their text content. The code sample demonstrates how to use the `getByText` function to find an element with the text 'Hello World'.
const { getByText } = require('@testing-library/dom');
const element = getByText(document.body, 'Hello World');
Event Simulation
This feature allows you to simulate user events such as clicks, typing, etc. The code sample shows how to simulate a click event on a button element.
const { fireEvent } = require('@testing-library/dom');
const button = document.querySelector('button');
fireEvent.click(button);
Assertions
This feature allows you to make assertions about the state of the DOM. The code sample demonstrates how to assert that an element with the text 'Hello World' is present in the document.
const { getByText } = require('@testing-library/dom');
const element = getByText(document.body, 'Hello World');
expect(element).toBeInTheDocument();
Other packages similar to @types/testing-library__dom
@types/enzyme
@types/enzyme provides TypeScript definitions for Enzyme, a testing utility for React that makes it easier to assert, manipulate, and traverse React components' output. While @types/testing-library__dom focuses on DOM interactions, @types/enzyme is more focused on React component testing.
@types/cypress
@types/cypress provides TypeScript definitions for Cypress, a JavaScript end-to-end testing framework. Cypress is more comprehensive and includes features for testing the entire application, not just the DOM, making it a broader tool compared to @types/testing-library__dom.
