How to simulate Swiping with Jest and React Testing Library? - jestjs

I have a React component (this one: https://mui.com/material-ui/react-drawer/#swipeable) and on mobile when you swipe from the edge it opens the drawer. I tested it manually and it works. I want to test that using Jest and React Testing Library.
I checked the documentation and tried to research the question online, but I found no answer to my question. Here are similar questions on Stack Overflow, also with no answers to them.

So, how to simulate a swipe gesture using Jest and React Testing Library?

Building a Live Chat Widget from Scratch using React

I am trying to build a Live chat Widget from scratch using React.js and Node.js and was wondering if anyone knows of any resources or tutorials to make it?
I'm trying to do make one but I don't want to use any 3rd party apps because of the long-term cost (everyone has a free trial but it's paid monthly after that) and I would love the guided experience of building it.
Any information helps! Thanks so much for your time.
I recommend you start with my blog article series about how to build a web widget.
This is a step-by-step complete tutorial with GitHub repositories.
You already know what a widget is, so you can start reading from part 2: Web widgets (Part 2): Widget him!
- how to make a widget and load it to the website.
Part 3: Web widgets (Part 3): API Cookbook
is about how to make an API for the widget.
The bonus part: Web widgets (Bonus): Why iframe?
is about the benefits of loading widgets into an iframe.
If you need UI components for your chat, please check my React chat library: https://github.com/chatscope/chat-ui-kit-react.
Additional useful library for managing chat state in react is: React headless chat hook.
For message transport, you can use a plain websocket, but it's less painful to use Socket.io or uWebsockets

Do Theme App Extensions need to be built in liquid?

I finished this review app tutorial where we used new theme app extensions to create app blocks for the dawn theme. The code for the extensions was built in liquid.
This may stem from a fundamental misunderstanding of how app blocks work, but could react be used to build the front end instead of liquid? For example, could this file which displays the average review rating be built with React? Thanks for any clarification!
The short answer is yes, of course you can inject your React into the theme using an App extension.
The problem is, you won't be offering any control of that to the merchant. Your React code does not play in the sandbox like Liquid does. So where some aspects of the Block are exposed to the merchant, which is a good thing, none of a React component would be.
If you want to play with React, Themes and Shopify, go with Hydrogen. If you want to stay inside the usual Shopify themes, like online store 2.0, you want to leverage the functionality of Liquid.
Anywho, I could wrong... have at er and see what happens.

how to use websockets for simple game with chat

I am building this simple app that uses React and Node, for learning purposes. I want to use websockets for the game and for the chat.
websockets is new to me, and I am wondering if it is recommended to create two different instances for each purpose (game/chat), or should I use the same?
If you are building a simple app with react and node i would try the iosocket and there is tons of videos and similiar project on github where you can check it out to get a glimpse on how it works. Here is even a link to iosocket: https://socket.io/
You can read the documentation and try to implement these bits in your app.

Edited: Why was learning Fullstack React confusing?

Update: When I first started with this question I was basically struggling to understand what I needed to do in order to make my frontend interact with the backend.
To answer my own question in case new guys come in:
If you use ejs, you are using server side rendering, meanwhile if you work your frontend separated your backend, you'll mostly be working with APIs.
First learn Node. Than work your way through on how APIs work. After feeling comfortable, start learning React.
Yes its normal. Just start building a project or else you'll stay in that tutorial hell.
So I have basic knowledge about React, intermediate level on javascript... and now I have taken a node with mongodb course. So I know that, i'll be feeding my tutorial hell if I do not put all those together and start building something from scratch. But till now, I have only rendered the EJS files and know how to setup everything from the ejs view point.
So now I feel quite lost as if someone gave me a puzzle with missing pieces.
I know some of you guys have taken this road so I have a couple of questions, even though some sound quite stupid:
How can node code be affected introducing reactJs, because I am currently using res.render('ejsViewFile')?
When you guys first learned this approach for using the MERN Stack, how did you learn to connect both of them? I find a lot of tutorials... but they confuse me even more.
Is this normal... me feeling like I have learned absolutely NOTHING?
It's great to see such type of questions.
I have also developed web application in which I have to just use the node JS and react with multiple microservices.
so I am also going through from such tutorials on udemy and other tutorials that are available on the website.
I found out that you can use react JS as a front UI and you can use node JS for backend if you don't want to use spring boot for your microservices it is just fine.
So basically I have developed rest API in node JS and using axios and promise I am calling that API from my react applications so I think in that way you can connect both of the applications.
in most of the applications I have seen that node JS is used for security purposes in the following purposes and then node JS is connected to a microservice it is just kind of adding another layer over your application.
I prefer lead can tell you that you can go through the udemy courses of react JS and it will show you how you can create a rest API on the node JS.
React for UI
Nodejs: api gateway or backend. You wish
Java : microservices, rest apis

How do React & NodeJS work together?

Can you tell me more about the relationship between the two? I want to (for example) write a little tool which plays audio files on my raspberry pi. Would I then do the player and the players interface completely in React, and then just connect to node in order to get the actual files?
Or, more generally but the same thing, if I would want to write an application that does certain things (writes files, records audio, changes system settings etc.) that would all be done in nodejs, but if I want to have an interface I would use something like React?
I am a bit confused, but I hope this question is valid!
Node and React can be used together.
There is even the MERN stack that helps with that:
MERN is a scaffolding tool which makes it easy to build universal apps using Mongo, Express, React and NodeJS. It minimises the setup time and gets you up to speed using proven technologies.
See: http://mernjs.org/
But you can use React with any other Node framework, not only with Express. React can work with any REST API so whatever you use to build a REST API can be consumed by the frontend written in React.
Some other options include: Hapi, Restify, LoopBack. For more see:
http://nodeframework.com/
from the official React Documentation React is "a JavaScript library for build user interfaces". In very watered down terms (and I mean watered down) React could be thought of as a templating library (please don't shoot me for that).
What I've learned about React is it is more like the "V"iew in MVC. It provides you a way to present the user interface using JavaScript and JSX. With the little I know about from various tutorials, I really like working with React.
Yes, this two thinks can work together, I am currently working at such project. I will point out main think here. That is where you put your routing. Does it goes to Node.js server or to React Router. This is important because it defines where you application logic should be.
ReactTS is a scaffolding engine for React on ASP.NET Core. Very powerful, and very fast - will generate your entire application with a single button click. You can also customize the templates. Check it out here... http://bssdev.biz/DevTools/React-Turbo-Scaffolding-Free-Download
