react-testing-library VS Gatsby

React Testing Library

After searching for a workaround, I found this issue thread on the React-testing-library Github page, which gave me a clear solution.

yeeeesss and as an advice use testID in most of matcher cases. also do not rely only on detox matcher try https://github.com/testing-library/react-testing-library

React Testing Library: This library provides simple and complete React DOM testing utilities that encourage good testing practices. It helps you write tests that are more focused on the behavior of your components rather than the implementation details. https://github.com/testing-library/react-testing-library

I've had a number of issues since the upgrate to React 18, notably this one.

Really? It seems like it's already been replaced. Can you link to where it's not quite deprecated yet? https://github.com/testing-library/react-testing-library/releases/tag/v13.1.0

expect(wrapper.find('FetchNextPageButton').props()).toMatchObject({ query: NEWS\_QUERY, path: "viewer.news"}) So I'm wondering what's the best approach to test it by using React testing library instead.

^ jest for running the tests & @types/jest to help with IDE auto-complete when writing tests. @testing-library/react to render components in the testing environment & test them in a way that tries to mimic how users interact with them. @testing-library/jest-dom for additional DOM-related assertions.

There are many ways to test component UIs and some testing frameworks help us achieve that, to mention but a few react-testing-library, where we write tests to check what a component has, for example, if we are testing a form component, we will write tests to check it a button is rendered, if there are input and/or select tags, etc and we usually see the results in our terminals but with React cosmos, we have a visual way to test our components (Visual TDD) which makes testing easier.

The first time I started building static websites is when I discovered Gatsby. I built several projects using Gatsby and hosted it on Netlify free tier. It felt like a really robust architecture and I loved that it was free.

A Gatsby site uses Gatsby, which leverages React and GraphQL to create fast and optimized web experiences. Gatsby is often used for building static websites, progressive web apps (PWAs), and even full-blown dynamic web applications.

While Next.js is a powerful framework for building server-rendered React applications, it's not the only option for developers looking to create high-performance websites. One notable alternative is Gatsby, a static site generator that leverages React and GraphQL.

The other piece of important information to acknowledge here is that when we say RSCs need a framework, “framework” effectively just means “Next.js.” There are some smaller frameworks (like Waku) that support RSCs. There are also some larger and more established frameworks (like Redwood) that have plans to support RSCs or (like Gatsby) only support RSCs in beta. We will likely see this change once we get React 19 and RSCs are part of the Stable version. However, for now, Next.js is currently the only framework recommended in the official React docs that supports server components.

GatsbyjsCMS - Gatsby is the fast and flexible framework that makes building websites with any CMS, API, or database fun again. Build and deploy headless websites that drive more traffic, convert better, and earn more revenue!

GatsbyJS

Babel plugins are everywhere. From being used to remove unwanted exports from files in Gatsby to being used to disallow users from doing re-exports in Nextjs.

In terms of GitHub stars, SSGs like Next.js, Hugo, Gatsby, Docusaurus, Nuxt.js, and Jekyll top the list. Some popular SSGs even host conferences and workshops, providing resources and networking opportunities for those looking to explore more advanced topics in depth.

Flexibility : Developers have complete control over the frontend so they can use their preferred tools and frameworks like React, Next.js, Gatsby, or Remix.
