react-testing-library VS tsdx

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.

For more information see: - The PR implementing 'renderHook' in React Testing Library

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.

tsdx - Zero-config CLI for TypeScript package development

If you’re into TypeScript, I highly recommend https://tsdx.io . I’ve used it to create a package before and it’s so much easier

Thanks for the insight fellas. Aside question, I was thinking of bootstrapping the project with tsdx, but their last release was well over 2 years ago. Wondering if there are any alternative options for creating libraries?

NOTE: If your project uses TypeScript, I would suggest using tsdx instead.

Sadly, it's a bit dead. We switched to dts-cli fork, but tsup looks good too

I don't depend on the actual typescript docs much but thankfully in @types and in tons of repos there are examples of well written typescript code.

The amount of JS and TS out there is also a bit of a foot gun though so stick with heavily used/starred libs if you aren't sure.

One tool that helps a lot with developing libraries in typescript is TSDX[0] or its successor dts-cli[1] and there is a bunch of good stuff in awesesome-typescript[2].

Maybe library devving is harder?(more work?) with tyepscript but it is worth it for the end developer, especially if that end developer is you. If you aren't using your own libs then you're probably getting paid by someone else to make them or... idk.

We will use a TSDX library - this tool is something similar to create-react-app, but for creating components library. It allows as to initialize a project immediately with already set up bundler, Rollup with Typescript supporting, testing with Jest, code formatter, Prettier and Storybook.

May be you need to try https://tsdx.io/

So what is the ideal way to build TypeScript libraries? I've heard that tsdx https://tsdx.io/ is quite good

There’s tsdx. But I’d recommend using Vite and storybook-vite
