You work in a loop: write code, get feedback, iterate. The faster you
get feedback, the faster you can learn and become a more effective
developer. Test-Driven React helps you refine your React workflow to
give you the feedback you need as quickly as possible. Write strong
tests and run them continuously as you work, split complex code up into
manageable pieces, and stay focused on what's important by automating
away mundane, trivial tasks. Adopt these techniques and you'll be able
to avoid productivity traps and start building React components at a
stunning pace!
React has revolutionized web development by abstracting away the details
of DOM manipulation. That conceptual elegance has opened the door to a
new generation of web testing: clear, expressive, and lightning-fast.
That makes React a perfect fit for test-driven development (TDD), a
methodology in which tests are a blueprint instead of an afterthought.
Each chapter will present new projects to challenge you and new tools to
help you. Write fast, portable tests with Jest. Keep your code tidy with
ESLint and Prettier. Perform every task you need from a single window
with VS Code. See your test output directly in your code with Wallaby.
Use the JavaScript features of the future with Babel. Make assertions
about React component behavior with Enzyme. And style components in a
testable way with styled-components. By understanding every piece of
your project's stack, you'll feel more confident and able to focus on
what matters: writing reliable and maintainable code.
Discover a more joyful React development experience. Let your tests lead
the way!
What You Need:
You'll need a working knowledge of JavaScript and a computer running
