I have react component, for example something like this:
const MyComponent = (props) => {
const [state, setState] = useState(true);
const {data} = useContext(myContext);
const location = useLocation();
//A lot of code here
const myFunction = () => {
return { dataFromContext: data, locationFromUseLocation: location, state: state }
}
return <>A lot of other components here</>
}
And I’m trying to write test that should looks like this:
describe('Component test', () => {
it('myFunction test', () => {
const wrapper = shallow(<MyComponent/>);
const expectedResult = {
dataFromContext: 'any data here',
locationFromUseLocation: 'any location here',
state: false
};
expect(wrapper.dive().instance().myFunction()).toEqual(expectedResult);
})
})
Can I mock useState, useContext and useLocation from <MyComponent/> and pass my custom data instead of real data from real component?

Answer
After deeper researching I’ve understood, that in such situation I can’t write test only for function in my component. So, I’ve created unit-test, that tests all my component, not only one function.
