React Native Testing Library

React Native Testing Library (RNTL) is a library inspired by React Testing Library.

It is not developed by, or affiliated with React Testing Library 😖.

Historically, there were two libraries:

• @testing-library/react-native
• react-native-testing-library

However, the former has been deprecated in favor of the latter. This document concerns react-native-testing-library. Clarified!

render()

render() takes in similar arguments and options to the RTL equivalent:

const TestProviders = ({ children }) => {
    return ( 
        <StateProvider>
            <ThemeProvider>
                {children}
            </ThemeProvider>
        </StateProvider>
    );
}

it('can render', () => {
    render(<SomeAppComponent />, {
        wrapper: TestProviders,
    });

    expect(screen.getByText("Hi!")).toBeDefined();

    // Or maybe with jest-dom
    expect(screen.getByText("Hi!")).toBeVisible();
})

WARNING

This function returns all of the same queries & utilities as using screen directly.

Use screen instead.
