How to test function that returns html with Jest?










0














I have simple function that takes object and returns html object.
I tried stubbing it as suggested in reddit thread,but there were problems with the event listeners and appending children.
I also tried comparing the children, but that took extremely long and isnt exactly accurate and i also tried comparing inner html.






 const createRecipe = recipe => 
const recipeElement = document.createElement('details');
recipeElement.innerHTML = `
<summary>$recipe.recipeName</summary>`;
const ingredientsList = document.createElement('ul');
const ingredients = recipe.ingredients.split(',');
ingredients.forEach(ingredient =>
const ingredientItem = document.createElement('li');
ingredientItem.textContent = ingredient;
ingredientsList.appendChild(ingredientItem);
);
recipeElement.appendChild(ingredientsList);
return recipeElement;
;

  • That code is broken. You don't have a closing backtick on that template literal.
