jest-matcher-vue-test-utils
Advanced tools
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.$emit("click");
expect(wrapper.emitted().select[0]).toBeTruthy();
});
becomes
it("Emits 'select' event by clicking PrimaryButton", () => {
const wrapper = shallowMount(Component);
expect(() => {
wrapper.find(PrimaryButton).vm.$emit("click");
}).toEmit(wrapper, "select");
});
And all matchers have type definition and doc 💇‍♂️

Get from npm:
$ npm install -D jest-matcher-vue-test-utils
Then, register matchers on your jest process:
import vueTestUtilMatchers from "jest-matcher-vue-test-utils";
expect.extend({ ...vueTestUtilMatchers });
toShow// error-message.vue
<template>
<div>
<p v-if="isError" class="error">message</p>

}
},

showError () {
this.isError = true;
}
}
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
});
toHide// error-message.vue
<template>

Async function is supported as well.

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() }
});
