Enzyme examples

This folder shows several examples from Enzyme docs.

In general if you are migrating from Enzyme to @cypress/react:

• there is no shallow mounting, only the full mounting. Thus @cypress/react has mount which is similar to the Enzyme's render. It renders the full HTML and CSS output of your component.
• you can mock children components if you want to avoid running "expensive" components during tests
• the test is running as a "mini" web application. Thus if you want to set a context around component, then set the context around the component

setState

If you want to change the component's internal state, use the component reference. You can get it by using the special property ref when mounting.

// get the component reference using "ref" prop
// and place it into the object for Cypress to "wait" for it
let c = {}
mount(<Foo id="foo" foo="initial" ref={i => (c.instance = i)} />)
cy.wrap(c)
  .its('instance')
  .invoke('setState', { count: 10 })

See state-spec.js file.

setProps

There is no direct implementation of setProps. If you want to see how the component behaves with different props:

it('mounts component with new props', () => {
  mount(<Foo id="foo" foo="initial" />)
  cy.contains('initial').should('be.visible')

  mount(<Foo id="foo" foo="second" />)
  cy.contains('second').should('be.visible')
})

If you want to reuse properties, you can even clone the component

it('mounts cloned component', () => {
  const cmp = <Foo id="foo" foo="initial" />
  mount(cmp)
  cy.contains('initial').should('be.visible')

  const cloned = Cypress._.cloneDeep(cmp)
  // change a property, leaving the rest unchanged
  cloned.props.foo = 'second'
  mount(cloned)
  cy.contains('.foo', 'second').should('be.visible')
})

See props-spec.js file.

context

Enzyme's mount method allows passing the React context as the second argument to the JSX component like SimpleComponent below.

function SimpleComponent(props, context) {
  const { name } = context
  return <div>{name || 'not set'}</div>
}

Since the above syntax is deprecated, @cypress/react does not support it. Instead use createContext and Context.Provider to surround the mounted component, just like you would do in a regular application code.

mount(
  <SimpleContext.Provider value={{ name: 'test context' }}>
    <SimpleComponent />
  </SimpleContext.Provider>,
)

Instead of setting a new context, mount the same component but surround it with a different context provider

const cmp = <SimpleComponent id="0x123" />
mount(
  <SimpleContext.Provider value={{ name: 'first context' }}>
    {cmp}
  </SimpleContext.Provider>,
)

// same component, different provider
mount(
  <SimpleContext.Provider value={{ name: 'second context' }}>
    {cmp}
  </SimpleContext.Provider>,
)

See context-spec.js for more examples.
