#1 Using Jest
This is how I use the Jest mock callback function to test the click event:
import React from 'react';
import { shallow } from 'enzyme';
import Button from './Button';
describe('Test Button component', () => {
it('Test click event', () => {
const mockCallBack = jest.fn();
const button = shallow((<Button onClick={mockCallBack}>Ok!</Button>));
button.find('button').simulate('click');
expect(mockCallBack.mock.calls.length).toEqual(1);
});
});
I am also using a module called enzyme. Enzyme is a testing utility that makes it easier to assert and select your React Components
#2 Using Sinon
Also, you can use another module called Sinon which is a standalone test spy, stubs and mocks for JavaScript. This is how it looks:
import React from 'react';
import { shallow } from 'enzyme';
import sinon from 'sinon';
import Button from './Button';
describe('Test Button component', () => {
it('simulates click events', () => {
const mockCallBack = sinon.spy();
const button = shallow((<Button onClick={mockCallBack}>Ok!</Button>));
button.find('button').simulate('click');
expect(mockCallBack).toHaveProperty('callCount', 1);
});
});
#3 Using Your own Spy
Finally, you can make your own naive spy (I don't recommend this approach unless you have a valid reason for that).
function MySpy() {
this.calls = 0;
}
MySpy.prototype.fn = function () {
return () => this.calls++;
}
it('Test Button component', () => {
const mySpy = new MySpy();
const mockCallBack = mySpy.fn();
const button = shallow((<Button onClick={mockCallBack}>Ok!</Button>));
button.find('button').simulate('click');
expect(mySpy.calls).toEqual(1);
});
