esmock provides native ESM import mocking for unit tests. Use examples below as a quick-start guide, see the descriptive and friendly esmock guide here, or browse esmock's test runner examples.

esmock is used with node's --loader

{
  "name": "give-esmock-a-star",
  "type": "module",
  "scripts": {
    "test": "node --loader=esmock --test",
    "test-mocha": "mocha --loader=esmock",
    "test-tap": "NODE_OPTIONS=--loader=esmock tap",
    "test-ava": "NODE_OPTIONS=--loader=esmock ava",
    "test-uvu": "NODE_OPTIONS=--loader=esmock uvu spec",
    "test-tsm": "node --loader=tsm --loader=esmock --test *ts",
    "test-ts": "node --loader=ts-node/esm --loader=esmock --test *ts",
    "test-jest": "NODE_OPTIONS=--loader=esmock jest"
  },
  "jest": {
    "runner": "jest-light-runner"
  }
}

esmock has the below signature

await esmock(
  './to/module.js', // path to target module being tested
  { ...childmocks }, // mock definitions imported by target module
  { ...globalmocks }) // mock definitions imported everywhere

esmock examples

import test from 'node:test'
import assert from 'node:assert/strict'
import esmock from 'esmock'

test('should mock packages and local files', async () => {
  const cookup = await esmock('../src/cookup.js', {
    addpkg: (a, b) => a + b,
    '#icon': { coffee: '☕', bacon: '🥓' },
    '../src/breakfast.js': {
      default: () => ['coffee', 'bacon'],
      addSalt: meal => meal + '🧂'
    }
  })

  assert.strictEqual(cookup('breakfast'), '☕🥓🧂')
})

test('should do global instance mocks —third param', async () => {
  const { getFile } = await esmock('../src/main.js', {}, {
    fs: { readFileSync: () => 'returns this 🌎 globally' }
  })

  assert.strictEqual(getFile(), 'returns this 🌎 globally')
})

test('should mock "await import()" using esmock.p', async () => {
  // using esmock.p, mock definitions are kept in cache
  const doAwaitImport = await esmock.p('../awaitImportLint.js', {
    eslint: { ESLint: cfg => cfg }
  })

  // mock definition is returned from cache, when import is called
  assert.strictEqual(await doAwaitImport('cfg'), 'cfg')
  // a bit more info are found in the wiki guide
})

test('should support "strict" mocking, at esmock.strict', async () => {
  // replace original module definitions and do not merge them
  const pathWrapper = await esmock.strict('../src/pathWrapper.js', {
    path: { dirname: () => '/path/to/file' }
  })

  // error, because "path" mock above does not define path.basename
  await assert.rejects(async () => pathWrapper.basename('/dog.png'), {
    name: 'TypeError',
    message: 'path.basename is not a function'
  })
})
