# Step 2.4
[Lessons](../) | [Exercise](./exercise/) | [Demo](./demo/)
Testing Typescript code with jest. jest is a test framework made by Facebook and is very popular in the React and the wider JS ecosystem. We will work on implementing simple unit tests here in this exercise.
https://jestjs.io/
- Multi-threaded and isolated test runner
- Provides a "fake" browser environment if needed (window, document, DOM, etc).
- Snapshots: show API or large object changes along side code changes in pull requests
- Code coverage is integrated (--coverage)
- Very clear error messages of where the test failures occur
# Demo
## jest basics
In this repo, we can start an inner loop development of tests with the command: `npm test`
Take a look at code inside `demo/src`:
1. `index.ts` is exports a few functions for a counter as well as a test for squaring numbers but demonstrates out jest uses mocks
2. `multiply.ts` is a contrived example of a function that is exported
3. `index.spec.ts` is the test file: note how tests are re-run on save to test file changes as well as source code changes under `src`
## testing React applications
You can also test React Components with `jest` with the help of a partner library called `enzyme`. Take a look at the test below:
```ts
import { mount } from 'enzyme';
describe('Foo Component Tests', () => {
it('allows us to set props', () => {
const wrapper = mount(<Foo bar="baz" />);
expect(wrapper.props().bar).toBe('baz');
wrapper.setProps({ bar: 'foo' });
expect(wrapper.props().bar).toBe('foo');
});
});
```
`mount` does a full mount of the component. You can use the `enzyme` wrapper to simulate clicks, etc:
```ts
wrapper.find('button').simulate('click');
```
# Exercise
## Basic Testing
1. Run the tests by running `npm test` at the root of the bootcamp project
2. Look at the `stack.ts` for a sample implementation of a stack
3. Follow the instructions inside the `stack.spec.ts` file to complete the two tests
## Enzyme Testing
1. Open up `exercise/src/TestMe.spec.tsx`
2. Fill in the blank for the missing test using `enzyme` concepts introduced from the demo
3. Run tests with `npm test`
