Development

• react-scripts: provides scripts for running app in dev mode, building for prod and running tests
  • this provides all setup for webpack, babel etc.
• jest: for running unit and ui tests
• enzyme: react testing utilities
• eslint: linter for js and jsx files (uses airbnb's styleguide)
• pupeteer: for running ui tests on headless chrome (+ image snapshot testing)
• docker: ui tests are running inside docker with production build.

Testing

Always check existing test cases for similar things that you want to test (Component, reducer, async action etc.)

• use enzyme, do not use ReactTestUtils directly.
• utilize enzyme-matchers.

render

• prefer mount over shallow to be consistent and sure that you render what you need.
• however do not test render results of a child component, test only props of a child component (toHaveProp())
  • prefer snapshot testing unless explicit toHaveProp() assertion is necessary.

snapshot

• firstly be aware that what is generated, and see it has things that you want to asssert.
• use mount for small components and wrapper containers
• use shallow like App or *Page containers to assert things like props passed correctly etc.
  • do not wrap component with <Provider> but pass store as prop to directly and .dive()
