jest-prosemirror

package jest-prosemirror

Write expressive tests for your prosemirror editor

Remarks:

## The problem

You want to write tests for some of your prosemirror editor but you don't know where to start. You know you should avoid testing implementation details and just want to be sure that your commands and plugins produce the correct underlying prosemirror state.

## This solution

jest-prosemirror takes inspiration from the [testing-library](https://github.com/testing-library/react-testing-library) mantra and enables you to write more intuitive tests for your prosemirror editor.

## Installation

yarn add jest-prosemirror # yarn
pnpm add jest-prosemirror # pnpm
npm install jest-prosemirror # npm

## Getting started

### Quick setup

For a quick setup add the following to your jest.config.js file.

module.exports = {
setupFilesAfterEnv: ['jest-prosemirror/environment'],
testEnvironment: 'jsdom', // Required for dom manipulation
};

This will automatically:

  • Add the jest assertions toTransformNode and toEqualProsemirrorNode.

If you are using typescript then add this to your tsconfig.json file for global type support.

{
"compilerOptions": {
"types": ["jest-prosemirror"]
}
}

### Manual setup

Create a jest.framework.dom.ts file and add the following

import { prosemirrorMatchers } from 'jest-prosemirror';

// Add jest-prosemirror assertions
expect.extend(prosemirrorMatchers);

In your jest.config.js add the created file to your configuration.

module.exports = {
setupFilesAfterEnv: ['<rootDir>/jest.framework.dom.ts'],
testEnvironment: 'jsdom', // Required for dom manipulation
};

## Snapshot serializer

This package exports a serializer for better snapshot testing of prosemirror primitives. To set this up add the following to your jest.config.js file.

module.exports = {
snapshotSerializers: ['jest-prosemirror/serializer'],
};

Alternatively, you can add the following to your jest.framework.dom.ts file.

import { prosemirrorSerializer } from 'jest-prosemirror';

// Add the serializer for use throughout all the configured test files.
expect.addSnapshotSerializer(prosemirrorSerializer);
