Overview of this book

Many programmers are aware of TDD but struggle to apply it beyond basic examples. This book teaches how to build complex, real-world applications using Test-Driven Development (TDD). It takes a first principles approach to the TDD process using plain Jest and includes test-driving the integration of libraries including React Router, Redux, and Relay (GraphQL). Readers will practice systematic refactoring while building out their own test framework, gaining a deep understanding of TDD tools and techniques. They will learn how to test-drive features such as client- and server-side form validation, data filtering and searching, navigation and user workflow, undo/redo, animation, LocalStorage access, WebSocket communication, and querying GraphQL endpoints. The book covers refactoring codebases to use the React Router and Redux libraries. via TDD. Redux is explored in depth, with reducers, middleware, sagas, and connected React components. The book also covers acceptance testing using Cucumber and Puppeteer. The book is fully up to date with React 16.9 and has in-depth coverage of hooks and the ‘act’ test helper.

Building a new root component

The Git tag for this section is root-component.

After all that setup, we're now ready to build App, the component that ties everything else together. As a reminder, this component will implement our workflow, switching between three screens:

  • Initially, it will show the AppointmentsDayViewLoader, along with a button
  • If the user clicks the button, they will be shown the CustomerForm
  • Once they've completed that form and submitted the customer to the server, the user will be shown the AppointmentFormLoader and can then book an appointment
  • Once the appointment has been booked, the user is taken back to viewing the AppointmentsDayViewLoader

Let's get started:

  1. Create a new file, test/App.test.js, with the following setup and the first test:
import React from 'react';
import {
createShallowRenderer,
type
} from './shallowHelpers...
