vue-test-utils extension

Simple little trick to make vue-test-utils extendible.

Installation

npm install --save-dev vtu-extension

Example usage

Create a file vue-test-util-ext.js in you root directory:

    // ./vue-test-util-ext.js
    var vtu = require("vtu-extension");
 
    module.exports = vtu.exportDefault;

Now you can extend the vue-test-utils classes like so:

    // ./vue-test-util-ext.js
    var vtu = require("vtu-extension");
 
    /**
     * It checks if an element is hidden
     */
    vtu.define("Wrapper", "isHidden", function() {
        return this.hasStyle('display', 'none');
    });
 
    module.exports = vtu.exportDefault;

Careful!! Notice that we are exporting vtu.exportDefault. This is necessary to maintain the default functionality of vue-test-utils.

On your test file, you should import ./vue-test-util-ext.js instead of vue-test-util and now you have access to the method:

    // ./specs/example.spec.js
    var vtu = require("./vue-test-util-ext");
    
    var example = {
        template: `<div class="hiddenDiv" v-show="false">This should be hidden</div>`
    }
    
    var wrapper = vtu.mount(example);
    wrapper.find(".hiddenDiv").isHidden() // return => true

Methods

define(module, methodName, callback)

Sets a new prototype function on a given vue-test-utils module.

• module: Are classes and objects contained in the original vue-test-utils file. e.g.: Wrapper, WrapperArray, ...
• methodName: The new method name
• callback: The callback function

Example

    vtu.define("Wrapper", "isHidden", function() {
        return this.hasStyle('display', 'none');
    });

get(name)

It gets variables and functions declared withing the vue-test-utils file.

• name: Is the name of the variable/function contained in the original vue-test-utils file.

Example

    var throwError = vtu.get("throwError");
 
    if(somethingWentWrong) {
        throwError("Something went wrong"); // "[vue-test-utils]: Something went wrong"
    }
