Jest testing utilities for emotion

Installation

npm install --save-dev @emotion/jest

Snapshot Serializer

The easiest way to test React components with emotion is with the snapshot serializer. You can register the serializer via the snapshotSerializers configuration property in your jest configuration like so:

// jest.config.js
module.exports = {
  // ... other config
  snapshotSerializers: [
    '@emotion/jest/serializer' /* if needed other snapshotSerializers should go here */
  ]
}

To assist with shallow rendering, there’s a custom enzyme snapshot serializer, that includes the enzyme-to-json serializer, which is available by importing @emotion/jest/enzyme-serializer. If you already have the enzyme-to-json serializer added to snapshotSerializers, it will need to be removed to allow this to work.

// jest.config.js
module.exports = {
  // ... other config
  snapshotSerializers: ['@emotion/jest/enzyme-serializer']
}

Or you can add the serializer via the expect.addSnapshotSerializer method like so: (the example below is with react-test-renderer but @emotion/jest also works with enzyme and react-testing-library)

import React from 'react'
import renderer from 'react-test-renderer'
import { createSerializer } from '@emotion/jest'
import styled from '@emotion/styled'

expect.addSnapshotSerializer(createSerializer())

test('renders with correct styles', () => {
  const H1 = styled.h1`
    float: left;
  `

  const tree = renderer.create(<H1>hello world</H1>).toJSON()

  expect(tree).toMatchSnapshot()
})

Refer to the testing doc for more information about snapshot testing with emotion.

Options

`classNameReplacer`

@emotion/jest’s snapshot serializer replaces the hashes in class names with an index so that things like whitespace changes won’t break snapshots. It optionally accepts a custom class name replacer, it defaults to the below.

function classNameReplacer(className, index) {
  return `emotion-${index}`
}

import { createSerializer } from '@emotion/jest'

expect.addSnapshotSerializer(
  createSerializer({
    classNameReplacer(className, index) {
      return `my-new-class-name-${index}`
    }
  })
)

`DOMElements`

@emotion/jest’s snapshot serializer inserts styles and replaces class names in both React and DOM elements. If you would like to disable this behavior for DOM elements, you can do so by passing { DOMElements: false }. For example:

import { createSerializer } from '@emotion/jest'

// configures @emotion/jest to ignore DOM elements
expect.addSnapshotSerializer(createSerializer({ DOMElements: false }))

Custom matchers

toHaveStyleRule

To make more explicit assertions when testing your styled components you can use the toHaveStyleRule matcher.

import React from 'react'
import renderer from 'react-test-renderer'
import { matchers } from '@emotion/jest'
import styled from '@emotion/styled'

// Add the custom matchers provided by '@emotion/jest'
expect.extend(matchers)

test('renders with correct styles', () => {
  const Svg = styled('svg')`
    width: 100%;
  `

  const Div = styled('div')`
    float: left;
    height: 80%;
    &:hover {
      width: 50px;
    }
    ${Svg} {
      fill: green;
    }
    span {
      color: yellow;
    }
    @media screen and (max-width: 1200px) {
      font-size: 14px;
    }
  `

  const tree = renderer
    .create(
      <Div>
        <Svg />
        <span>Test</span>
      </Div>
    )
    .toJSON()

  expect(tree).toHaveStyleRule('float', 'left')
  expect(tree).not.toHaveStyleRule('height', '100%')
})

You can provide additional options for toHaveStyleRule matcher. target - helps to specify css selector or other component where style rule should be found.

expect(tree).toHaveStyleRule('width', '50px', { target: ':hover' })

expect(tree).toHaveStyleRule('color', 'yellow', { target: 'span' })

expect(tree).toHaveStyleRule('fill', 'green', { target: `${Svg}` })

media - specifies the media rule where the matcher should look for the style property.

expect(tree).toHaveStyleRule('font-size', '14px', {
  media: 'screen and (max-width: 1200px)'
})

Use media and target options to assert on rules within media queries and to target nested components, pseudo-classes, and pseudo-elements.

import React from 'react'
import renderer from 'react-test-renderer'
import { matchers } from '@emotion/jest'
import styled from '@emotion/styled'

// Add the custom matchers provided by '@emotion/jest'
expect.extend(matchers)

test('renders with correct link styles', () => {
  const Container = styled.div`
    font-size: 14px;

    a {
      color: yellow;
    }

    a:hover {
      color: black;
    }

    @media (min-width: 768px) {
      font-size: 16px;
    }
  `

  const tree = renderer.create(<Container>hello world</Container>).toJSON()

  expect(tree).toHaveStyleRule('color', 'yellow', { target: /a$/ })
  expect(tree).toHaveStyleRule('color', 'black', { target: 'a:hover' })
  expect(tree).toHaveStyleRule('font-size', '16px', {
    media: '(min-width: 768px)'
  })
})
