ESLint plugin to follow best practices and anticipate common mistakes when writing tests with Testing Library
You'll first need to install ESLint:
$ npm i eslint --save-dev
Next, install eslint-plugin-testing-library:
$ npm install eslint-plugin-testing-library --save-dev
Note: If you installed ESLint globally (using the -g flag) then you must also install eslint-plugin-testing-library globally.
Add testing-library to the plugins section of your .eslintrc configuration file. You can omit the eslint-plugin- prefix:
{
"plugins": ["testing-library"]
}Then configure the rules you want to use under the rules section.
{
"rules": {
"testing-library/await-async-query": "error",
"testing-library/no-await-sync-query": "error",
"testing-library/no-debug": "warn"
}
}This plugin exports a recommended configuration that enforces good
Testing Library practices (you can find more info about enabled rules in
the Supported Rules section within the Configurations column).
To enable this configuration use the extends property in your
.eslintrc config file:
{
"extends": ["plugin:testing-library/recommended"]
}Starting from the premise that
DOM Testing Library
is the base for the rest of Testing Library frameworks wrappers, this
plugin also exports different configuration for those frameworks that
enforces good practices for specific rules that only apply to them (you
can find more info about enabled rules in
the Supported Rules section within the Configurations column).
Note that frameworks configurations enable their specific rules + recommended rules.
Available frameworks configurations are:
To enable this configuration use the extends property in your
.eslintrc config file:
{
"extends": ["plugin:testing-library/angular"]
}To enable this configuration use the extends property in your
.eslintrc config file:
{
"extends": ["plugin:testing-library/react"]
}To enable this configuration use the extends property in your
.eslintrc config file:
{
"extends": ["plugin:testing-library/vue"]
