jest-next-dynamic

Unlike react-loadable, the dynamic import support offered by Next.js does not expose a way to preload the dynamically imported components in Jest’s environment (which mimics a DOM environment). Even if you get a handle on the Loadable component bundled with Next.js, it skips queuing up the components in DOM-like environments. Bummer!

This module can be imported in your test or setup files to make sure any component created with next/dynamic is added to a queue, which can then be flushed with the exported preloadAll function.

Using this, your component tests (including snapshots) can render the full component tree instead of the loading placeholders.

Setup

In order to transform import() successfully in Jest’s environment, you must use a different transform than the one provided by next/babel (which expects to be built with webpack).

Both of these work fine:

• babel-plugin-dynamic-import-node
• babel-plugin-transform-dynamic-import

{
  "plugins": ["babel-plugin-dynamic-import-node"]
}

Usage

// This will mock `next/dynamic`, so make sure to import it before any of your
// components.
import preloadAll from "jest-next-dynamic";
// This component can have dynamic imports anywhere in its rendered tree,
// including nested dynamic imports.
import SomeComponent from "./SomeComponent";
 
beforeAll(async () => {
  await preloadAll();
});
 
// Your tests here!
