How to mock a single state variable in a context provider with jest?
When using Jest for unit testing, if our components depend on state variables provided by context, we need to ensure that these state variables are properly mocked in the test environment. Here, I'll demonstrate with a concrete example how to mock a single state variable within a React context.Step 1: Create the ContextFirst, we create a .Step 2: Write the ComponentAssume we have a simple component that depends on .Step 3: Mock the Context for TestingWhen testing the component, we can mock using Jest and .In this test, we intercept the call to using to ensure it returns our predefined . This guarantees that regardless of how invokes , it receives the value we've configured for testing purposes.The advantage of this approach is that we can precisely control the values within the context without rendering the provider component, resulting in faster tests that are isolated from other state changes. This is highly applicable for unit testing.
