What is jest-environment-jsdom?

The jest-environment-jsdom package is a custom environment for Jest that allows you to simulate a browser-like environment using jsdom. This is useful for testing web applications without running them in an actual browser. It provides a simulated DOM API that you can interact with in your tests.

What are jest-environment-jsdom's main functionalities?

Simulating browser environment for testing

This feature allows you to simulate browser-like interactions such as clicking a button and then asserting the expected outcome, all within a Node.js environment.

test('simulates a click event', () => {
  document.body.innerHTML = '<button id="button">Click me</button>';
  const button = document.getElementById('button');
  button.addEventListener('click', () => {
    button.innerHTML = 'Clicked';
  });
  button.click();
  expect(button.innerHTML).toBe('Clicked');
});

Testing DOM manipulation

You can test DOM manipulation by creating, modifying, and removing elements, and then asserting that these changes have taken place as expected.

test('adds a new div to the body', () => {
  const div = document.createElement('div');
  div.id = 'new-div';
  document.body.appendChild(div);
  expect(document.getElementById('new-div')).not.toBeNull();
});

Mocking global variables

The package allows you to mock global variables such as localStorage, which is useful for testing code that interacts with browser APIs that are not available in Node.js.

test('mocks a global variable', () => {
  global.localStorage = {
    getItem: jest.fn().mockReturnValue('mockValue')
  };
  expect(global.localStorage.getItem('key')).toBe('mockValue');
});
