Testing React Select component

This is a recurrent question. I’m sharing my own code with 100% passing tests which cover 100% of my source code.

My component looks like this

MySelectComponent({ options, onChange }) {

  return <div data-testid="my-select-component">
    <Select
      className="basic-single"
      classNamePrefix="select"
      name="myOptions"
      placeholder="Select an option"
      options={options}
      onChange={e => onChange(e)}
    />
</div>;
}

The reason I’m adding a wrapper on my Select with data-testid="my-select-component" is that the rendered options element will be available on it otherwise I can’t check if a text option exist (you’ll understand better when you’ll see my tests).

This is a live running example and when rendering it’ll show a select component with 10 options.

enter image description here

Test 1 : should render without errors

  • I render the component.

  • I search for the placeholder to be present.

Test 2 : should call onChange when the first option is selected

  • I render the component.

  • I check if my mockedOnChange is not yet called.

  • Simulate an ArrowDown event.

  • Click on the first option.

  • I check if mockedOnChange is called 1 time with the 1st option label and value.

Test 3 : should call onChange when the first option is selected then second option then the 9th one

  • I render the component.

  • I simulate a select of the first option.

  • I simulate a select of the 2nd option.

  • I simulate a select of the 9th option.

  • I check if the mockedOnChange is called 3 times with the 9th option bale and value.

Test 4 : should call onChange when filtering by input value

  • I render the component.

  • I simulate a change on the input field by typing “option 1”.

  • I know, based on my mockedOptions that the filtered result will be “Mocked option 1” and “Mocked option 10”.

  • I simulate 2 ArrowDown events.

  • I check that the mockedOnChange is called with the 2nd filtered option with right label and value.

I hope that this help.
