Jest Deep Mock

Provides an alternative mock implementation to jest.fn() allowing to walk a mock object without specifying the value at each level. If no value is set for a property or no return value when calling a mock function, a new mock object will be returned.

The interface follows https://facebook.github.io/jest/docs/en/mock-function-api.html#content and the same expects can be done per https://facebook.github.io/jest/docs/en/expect.html#content.

Getting Started

Install jest-deep-mock using npm:

npm install --save-dev jest-deep-mock

Write your first test using DeepMock:

const DeepMock = require("jest-deep-mock")
 
test('set return value and assert response', () => {
    // GIVEN
    let mock = new DeepMock()
    mock.nested.func.mockReturnValue("value")
 
    // WHEN
    let actual = mock.nested.func(1, 2)
 
    // THEN
    expect(actual).toBe("value")
 
    expect(mock.nested.func).toHaveBeenCalledWith(1, 2)
})

Add the following section to your package.json:

{
  "scripts": {
    "test": "jest"
  }
}

Run npm test to run the test with the following output:

 PASS  ./example.test.js
  ✓ set return value and assert response (11ms)
