Full Rendering API (mount(...))

Full DOM rendering is ideal for use cases where you have components that may interact with DOM APIs, or may require the full lifecycle in order to fully test the component (i.e., componentDidMount etc.)

Full DOM rendering requires that a full DOM API be available at the global scope. This means that it must be run in an environment that at least "looks like" a browser environment. If you do not want to run your tests inside of a browser, the recommended approach to using mount is to depend on a library called jsdom which is essentially a headless browser implemented completely in JS.

import { mount } from 'enzyme';
import sinon from 'sinon';
import Foo from './Foo';

describe('<Foo />', () => {

  it('calls componentDidMount', () => {
    sinon.spy(Foo.prototype, 'componentDidMount');
    const wrapper = mount(<Foo />);
    expect(Foo.prototype.componentDidMount.calledOnce).to.equal(true);
  });

  it('allows us to set props', () => {
    const wrapper = mount(<Foo bar="baz" />);
    expect(wrapper.props().bar).to.equal("baz");
    wrapper.setProps({ bar: "foo" });
    expect(wrapper.props().bar).to.equal("foo");
  });

  it('simulates click events', () => {
    const onButtonClick = sinon.spy();
    const wrapper = mount(
      <Foo onButtonClick={onButtonClick} />
    );
    wrapper.find('button').simulate('click');
    expect(onButtonClick.calledOnce).to.equal(true);
  });

});

mount(node[, options]) => ReactWrapper

Arguments

  1. node (ReactElement): The node to render
  2. options (Object [optional]):
  3. options.context: (Object [optional]): Context to be passed into the component
  4. options.attachTo: (DOMElement [optional]): DOM Element to attach the component to.
  5. options.childContextTypes: (Object [optional]): Merged contextTypes for all children of the wrapper.

Returns

ReactWrapper: The wrapper instance around the rendered output.
