Setup

You will most probably use this plugin as a development dependency.

yarn add expect-jsx --dev

API

  • expect(ReactComponent|JSX).toEqualJSX(ReactComponent|JSX)
  • expect(ReactComponent|JSX).toNotEqualJSX(ReactComponent|JSX)
  • expect(ReactComponent|JSX).toIncludeJSX(ReactComponent|JSX)
  • expect(ReactComponent|JSX).toNotIncludeJSX(ReactComponent|JSX)

Usage

Here's an example using mochajs/mocha.

import React from 'react';
import expect from 'expect';
import expectJSX from 'expect-jsx';
 
expect.extend(expectJSX);
 
class TestComponent extends React.Component {}
 
describe('expect-jsx', () => {
  it('works', () => {
    expect(<div />).toEqualJSX(<div />);
    // ok
 
    expect(<div a="1" b="2" />).toEqualJSX(<div />);
    // Error: Expected '<div\n  a="1"\n  b="2"\n/>' to equal '<div />'
 
    expect(<span />).toNotEqualJSX(<div/>);
    // ok
 
    expect(<div><TestComponent /></div>).toIncludeJSX(<TestComponent />);
    // ok
  });
});

It looks like this when ran:

A note about functions

toEqualJSX will not check for function references, it only checks that if a function was expected somewhere, there's also a function in the actual data.

It's your responsibility to then unit test those functions.
