Without using any other libraries:
import * as axios from "axios";
// Mock out all top level functions, such as get, put, delete and post:
jest.mock("axios");
// ...
test("good response", () => {
axios.get.mockImplementation(() => Promise.resolve({ data: {...} }));
// ...
});
test("bad response", () => {
axios.get.mockImplementation(() => Promise.reject({ ... }));
// ...
});
It is possible to specify the response code:
axios.get.mockImplementation(() => Promise.resolve({ status: 200, data: {...} }));
It is possible to change the mock based on the parameters:
axios.get.mockImplementation((url) => {
if (url === 'www.example.com') {
return Promise.resolve({ data: {...} });
} else {
//...
}
});
Jest v23 introduced some syntactic sugar for mocking Promises:
axios.get.mockImplementation(() => Promise.resolve({ data: {...} }));
It can be simplified to
axios.get.mockResolvedValue({ data: {...} });
There is also an equivalent for rejected promises: mockRejectedValue
.
