enzyme-adapter-react-16

What is enzyme-adapter-react-16?

The enzyme-adapter-react-16 package is an adapter that is used with the Enzyme testing utility for React. It is specifically designed to work with React version 16. This adapter configures Enzyme to be compatible with the React 16 version's API and environment. It allows developers to mount React components for testing purposes, simulate events, and inspect the component hierarchy.

What are enzyme-adapter-react-16's main functionalities?

Configuration

This code configures Enzyme to use the React 16 adapter, which is necessary to test React components built with React version 16.

const Enzyme = require('enzyme');
const Adapter = require('enzyme-adapter-react-16');

Enzyme.configure({ adapter: new Adapter() });

Shallow Rendering

Shallow rendering is used for testing components in isolation from the children they render. This is useful for unit testing components without worrying about the behavior of child components.

const { shallow } = require('enzyme');
const MyComponent = require('./MyComponent');

const wrapper = shallow(<MyComponent />);

Full DOM Rendering

Full DOM rendering is ideal for use cases where you have components that may interact with DOM APIs or need to test components in an environment that is closer to the browser environment.

const { mount } = require('enzyme');
const MyComponent = require('./MyComponent');

const wrapper = mount(<MyComponent />);

Static Rendering

Static rendering is used to render components to static HTML and analyze the resulting HTML structure. It's useful for generating HTML from your components and for analyzing the structure of the rendered components.

const { render } = require('enzyme');
const MyComponent = require('./MyComponent');

const wrapper = render(<MyComponent />);

Other packages similar to enzyme-adapter-react-16

react-testing-library

React Testing Library is a very popular testing utility that encourages better testing practices by focusing on testing components the way users would use them. Unlike Enzyme, it does not provide shallow rendering and it avoids direct access to the component's internal state.

jest-enzyme

Jest-Enzyme is an extension to the Jest testing framework that provides additional matchers for Enzyme, making it easier to write tests. It complements Enzyme but does not replace the need for an adapter.

README

Enzyme

Enzyme is a JavaScript Testing utility for React that makes it easier to test your React Components' output. You can also manipulate, traverse, and in some ways simulate runtime given the output.

Enzyme's API is meant to be intuitive and flexible by mimicking jQuery's API for DOM manipulation and traversal.

Upgrading from Enzyme 2.x or React < 16

Are you here to check whether or not Enzyme is compatible with React 16? Are you currently using Enzyme 2.x? Great! Check out our migration guide for help moving on to Enzyme v3 where React 16 is supported.

Installation

To get started with enzyme, you can simply install it via npm. You will need to install enzyme along with an Adapter corresponding to the version of react (or other UI Component library) you are using. For instance, if you are using enzyme with React 16, you can run:

npm i --save-dev enzyme enzyme-adapter-react-16

Each adapter may have additional peer dependencies which you will need to install as well. For instance, enzyme-adapter-react-16 has peer dependencies on react and react-dom.

At the moment, Enzyme has adapters that provide compatibility with React 16.x, React 15.x, React 0.14.x and React 0.13.x.

The following adapters are officially provided by enzyme, and have the following compatibility with React:

Enzyme Adapter Package	React semver compatibility
enzyme-adapter-react-16	^16.4.0-0
enzyme-adapter-react-16.3	~16.3.0-0
enzyme-adapter-react-16.2	~16.2
enzyme-adapter-react-16.1	~16.0.0-0 || ~16.1
enzyme-adapter-react-15	^15.5.0
enzyme-adapter-react-15.4	15.0.0-0 - 15.4.x
enzyme-adapter-react-14	^0.14.0
enzyme-adapter-react-13	^0.13.0

Finally, you need to configure enzyme to use the adapter you want it to use. To do this, you can use the top level configure(...) API.

import Enzyme from 'enzyme';
import Adapter from 'enzyme-adapter-react-16';

Enzyme.configure({ adapter: new Adapter() });

3rd Party Adapters

It is possible for the community to create additional (non-official) adapters that will make enzyme work with other libraries. If you have made one and it's not included in the list below, feel free to make a PR to this README and add a link to it! The known 3rd party adapters are:

Adapter Package	For Library	Status
enzyme-adapter-preact-pure	preact	(stable)
enzyme-adapter-inferno	inferno	(work in progress)

Running Enzyme Tests

Enzyme is unopinionated regarding which test runner or assertion library you use, and should be compatible with all major test runners and assertion libraries out there. The documentation and examples for enzyme use Mocha and Chai, but you should be able to extrapolate to your framework of choice.

If you are interested in using enzyme with custom assertions and convenience functions for testing your React components, you can consider using:

• chai-enzyme with Mocha/Chai.
• jasmine-enzyme with Jasmine.
• jest-enzyme with Jest.
• should-enzyme for should.js.
• expect-enzyme for expect.

Basic Usage

Shallow Rendering

import React from 'react';
import { expect } from 'chai';
import { shallow } from 'enzyme';
import sinon from 'sinon';

import MyComponent from './MyComponent';
import Foo from './Foo';

describe('<MyComponent />', () => {
  it('renders three <Foo /> components', () => {
    const wrapper = shallow(<MyComponent />);
    expect(wrapper.find(Foo)).to.have.lengthOf(3);
  });

  it('renders an `.icon-star`', () => {
    const wrapper = shallow(<MyComponent />);
    expect(wrapper.find('.icon-star')).to.have.lengthOf(1);
  });

  it('renders children when passed in', () => {
    const wrapper = shallow((
      <MyComponent>
        <div className="unique" />
      </MyComponent>
    ));
    expect(wrapper.contains(<div className="unique" />)).to.equal(true);
  });

  it('simulates click events', () => {
    const onButtonClick = sinon.spy();
    const wrapper = shallow(<Foo onButtonClick={onButtonClick} />);
    wrapper.find('button').simulate('click');
    expect(onButtonClick).to.have.property('callCount', 1);
  });
});

React Hooks support

Enzyme supports react hooks with some limitations in .shallow() due to upstream issues in React's shallow renderer:

• useEffect() and useLayoutEffect() don't get called in the React shallow renderer. Related issue

• useCallback() doesn't memoize callback in React shallow renderer. Related issue

ReactTestUtils.act() wrap

If you're using React 16.8+ and .mount(), Enzyme will wrap apis including .simulate(), .setProps(), .setContext(), .invoke() with ReactTestUtils.act() so you don't need to manually wrap it.

A common pattern to trigger handlers with .act() and assert is:

const wrapper = mount(<SomeComponent />);
act(() => wrapper.prop('handler')());
wrapper.update();
expect(/* ... */);

We cannot wrap the result of .prop() (or .props()) with .act() in Enzyme internally since it will break the equality of the returned value. However, you could use .invoke() to simplify the code:

const wrapper = mount(<SomeComponent />);
wrapper.invoke('handler')();
expect(/* ... */);
