Mocking Objects of Data in React Native with Jest

In the world of testing React Native applications, especially when using libraries like Jest, one common challenge developers face is effectively mocking data. This task is crucial, particularly when you aim to implement snapshot testing for your components. If you’ve encountered a TypeError while trying to create a snapshot, don't worry! You're not alone, and today we'll help you understand how to properly mock objects of data in your tests.

The Problem at Hand

You're working with a React Native app that uses Expo, and you're leveraging Jest for snapshot testing alongside Redux Toolkit's query features. The code you have set up for mocking looks something like this:

However, you need to mock an entire object instead of a simple string. The structure of this object may include various fields like id, name, nip, phone, etc. Your desired object structure looks like this:

The Solution

The good news is that mocking an entire object in Jest is quite straightforward! You simply need to wrap the object in curly braces {} and format it like JSON within your mock implementation. Here’s how to do it correctly:

Step-by-Step Implementation

Wrap Your Object: Instead of returning a simple string, you will return an object. Make sure to format it correctly by using key-value pairs.

Use the mockReturnValue Method: Replace your original string return with the entire object.

Here’s an Example Code:

Below is the revised code that correctly mocks the entire object of data you need for your tests:

Verifying Your Snapshot Test

Now that you have mocked the entire object correctly, your snapshot test should work seamlessly. Your test case can look similar to the following:

When you run the test, Jest will generate a snapshot based on the provided object, ensuring that your component behaves as expected with the mocked data.

Conclusion

Mocking entire objects in Jest can seem daunting at first, but by wrapping your data correctly and using the appropriate methods, you can streamline your testing process. This not only enhances the reliability of your snapshot tests but also boosts your confidence in the functionality of your React Native components. Happy testing!
