I am using Enzyme
to test my react and redux portions. I've read around and have found that its a good practice to write an integration test for the component as well.
So, that's simple as I have to call the action creators and check their updated values against store but I have some async actions that return dispatch
actions.
login.actions.js
export function loginUser(credentials) {
return dispatch => {
dispatch(action.loginRequest());
return axios({
method: 'post',
url: `${api}/login`,
data: {
email: _.trim(_.get(credentials, 'email')),
password: _.get(credentials, 'password')
}
})
.then(response => {
const { data } = response;
if (_.isEqual(_.get(response, 'status'), 200)) {
dispatch(action.loginSuccess(data));
}
})
.catch(err => {
dispatch(action.loginError(err));
});
};
}
login.actionCreators.js
export function loginRequest() {
return {
type: types.LOGIN_REQUEST
};
}
export function loginSuccess(payload) {
return {
type: types.LOGIN_SUCCESS,
payload
};
}
export function loginError(payload) {
let error;
switch (_.get(payload, 'response.status')) {
case 422: {
error = 'Invalid Credentials';
break;
}
case 401: {
error = 'Invalid user';
break;
}
case 403: {
error = 'Account not confirmed';
break;
}
default:
error = 'Something went wrong';
}
return {
type: types.LOGIN_ERROR,
error
};
}
So, in order to perform a complete integration test, I would have to test the login.actions.js
as well but since dispatch normally returns plain objects, in my case they are returning a dispatch function. How do I test them?
