Enzyme

Enzyme is a JavaScript Testing utility for React that makes it easier to assert, manipulate, and traverse your React Components' output.

Enzyme's API is meant to be intuitive and flexible by mimicking jQuery's API for DOM manipulation and traversal.

Enzyme is unopinionated regarding which test runner or assertion library you use, and should be compatible with all major test runners and assertion libraries out there. The documentation and examples for enzyme use mocha and chai, but you should be able to extrapolate to your framework of choice.

If you are interested in using enzyme with custom assertions and convenience functions for testing your React components, you can consider using:

chai-enzyme with Mocha/Chai.
jasmine-enzyme with Jasmine.
jest-enzyme with Jest.
should-enzyme for should.js.
expect-enzyme for expect.

Installation

To get started with enzyme, you can simply install it with npm:

npm i --save-dev enzyme

Enzyme is currently compatible with React 15.x, React 0.14.x and React 0.13.x. In order to achieve this compatibility, some dependencies cannot be explicitly listed in our package.json.

If you are using React 0.14 or React <15.5, in addition to enzyme, you will have to ensure that you also have the following npm modules installed if they were not already:

npm i --save-dev react-addons-test-utils react-dom

If you are using React >=15.5, in addition to enzyme, you will have to ensure that you also have the following npm modules installed if they were not already:

npm i --save-dev react-test-renderer react-dom

Basic Usage

Shallow Rendering

import React from 'react';
import { expect } from 'chai';
import { shallow } from 'enzyme';
import sinon from 'sinon';
 
import MyComponent from './MyComponent';
import Foo from './Foo';
 
describe('<MyComponent />', () => {
  it('renders three <Foo /> components', () => {
    const wrapper = shallow(<MyComponent />);
    expect(wrapper.find(Foo)).to.have.length(3);
  });
 
  it('renders an `.icon-star`', () => {
    const wrapper = shallow(<MyComponent />);
    expect(wrapper.find('.icon-star')).to.have.length(1);
  });
 
  it('renders children when passed in', () => {
    const wrapper = shallow((
      <MyComponent>
        <div className="unique" />
      </MyComponent>
    ));
    expect(wrapper.contains(<div className="unique" />)).to.equal(true);
  });
 
  it('simulates click events', () => {
    const onButtonClick = sinon.spy();
    const wrapper = shallow((
      <Foo onButtonClick={onButtonClick} />
    ));
    wrapper.find('button').simulate('click');
    expect(onButtonClick).to.have.property('callCount', 1);
  });
});

Full DOM Rendering

import React from 'react';
import sinon from 'sinon';
import { expect } from 'chai';
import { mount } from 'enzyme';
 
import Foo from './Foo';
 
describe('<Foo />', () => {
  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).to.have.property('callCount', 1);
  });
 
  it('calls componentDidMount', () => {
    sinon.spy(Foo.prototype, 'componentDidMount');
    const wrapper = mount(<Foo />);
    expect(Foo.prototype.componentDidMount).to.have.property('callCount', 1);
    Foo.prototype.componentDidMount.restore();
  });
});
