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.

Filtering data

The Git tag for this section is filtering.

Let's add a textbox that the user can use to filter names. Each character that the user types into the search field will cause a new fetch request to be made to the server. That request will contain the new search term as provided by the search box.

The /customers endpoint supports a parameter named searchTerm, which filters search results using those terms. Adding this functionality will highlight the design mistake we made earlier:

  1. For this feature, we'll hook on to the change event handler for the input box. Since it will cause an asynchronous fetch request, we know we'll need to use async act to wait for this to happen. Let's build changeAndWait now; add the following to the return object of createContainer in test/domManipulators.js:
changeAndWait: simulateEvent('change'),
