I am trying to learn hooks and the useState method has made me confused. I am assigning an initial value to a state in the form of an array. The set method in useState is not working for me, both with and without the spread syntax.
I have made an API on another PC that I am calling and fetching the data which I want to set into the state.
Here is my code:
<div id="root"></div>
<script type="text/babel" defer>
// import React, { useState, useEffect } from "react";
// import ReactDOM from "react-dom";
const { useState, useEffect } = React; // web-browser variant
const StateSelector = () => {
const initialValue = [
{
category: "",
photo: "",
description: "",
id: 0,
name: "",
rating: 0
}
];
const [movies, setMovies] = useState(initialValue);
useEffect(() => {
(async function() {
try {
// const response = await fetch("http://192.168.1.164:5000/movies/display");
// const json = await response.json();
// const result = json.data.result;
const result = [
{
category: "cat1",
description: "desc1",
id: "1546514491119",
name: "randomname2",
photo: null,
rating: "3"
},
{
category: "cat2",
description: "desc1",
id: "1546837819818",
name: "randomname1",
rating: "5"
}
];
console.log("result =", result);
setMovies(result);
console.log("movies =", movies);
} catch (e) {
console.error(e);
}
})();
}, []);
return <p>hello</p>;
};
const rootElement = document.getElementById("root");
ReactDOM.render(<StateSelector />, rootElement);
</script>
<script src="https://unpkg.com/#babel/standalone#7/babel.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://unpkg.com/react#17/umd/react.production.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://unpkg.com/react-dom#17/umd/react-dom.production.min.js"></script>
Neither setMovies(result) nor setMovies(...result) works.
I expect the result variable to be pushed into the movies array.
Much like .setState() in class components created by extending React.Component or React.PureComponent, the state update using the updater provided by useState hook is also asynchronous, and will not be reflected immediately.
Also, the main issue here is not just the asynchronous nature but the fact that state values are used by functions based on their current closures, and state updates will reflect in the next re-render by which the existing closures are not affected, but new ones are created. Now in the current state, the values within hooks are obtained by existing closures, and when a re-render happens, the closures are updated based on whether the function is recreated again or not.
Even if you add a setTimeout the function, though the timeout will run after some time by which the re-render would have happened, the setTimeout will still use the value from its previous closure and not the updated one.
setMovies(result);
console.log(movies) // movies here will not be updated
If you want to perform an action on state update, you need to use the useEffect hook, much like using componentDidUpdate in class components since the setter returned by useState doesn't have a callback pattern
useEffect(() => {
// action on update of movies
}, [movies]);
As far as the syntax to update state is concerned, setMovies(result) will replace the previous movies value in the state with those available from the async request.
However, if you want to merge the response with the previously existing values, you must use the callback syntax of state updation along with the correct use of spread syntax like
setMovies(prevMovies => ([...prevMovies, ...result]));
Additional details to the previous answer:
While React's setState is asynchronous (both classes and hooks), and it's tempting to use that fact to explain the observed behavior, it is not the reason why it happens.
TLDR: The reason is a closure scope around an immutable const value.
Solutions:
read the value in render function (not inside nested functions):
useEffect(() => { setMovies(result) }, [])
console.log(movies)
add the variable into dependencies (and use the react-hooks/exhaustive-deps eslint rule):
useEffect(() => { setMovies(result) }, [])
useEffect(() => { console.log(movies) }, [movies])
use a temporary variable:
useEffect(() => {
const newMovies = result
console.log(newMovies)
setMovies(newMovies)
}, [])
use a mutable reference (if we don't need a state and only want to remember the value - updating a ref doesn't trigger re-render):
const moviesRef = useRef(initialValue)
useEffect(() => {
moviesRef.current = result
console.log(moviesRef.current)
}, [])
Explanation why it happens:
If async was the only reason, it would be possible to await setState().
However, both props and state are assumed to be unchanging during 1 render.
Treat this.state as if it were immutable.
With hooks, this assumption is enhanced by using constant values with the const keyword:
const [state, setState] = useState('initial')
The value might be different between 2 renders, but remains a constant inside the render itself and inside any closures (functions that live longer even after render is finished, e.g. useEffect, event handlers, inside any Promise or setTimeout).
Consider following fake, but synchronous, React-like implementation:
// sync implementation:
let internalState
let renderAgain
const setState = (updateFn) => {
internalState = updateFn(internalState)
renderAgain()
}
const useState = (defaultState) => {
if (!internalState) {
internalState = defaultState
}
return [internalState, setState]
}
const render = (component, node) => {
const {html, handleClick} = component()
node.innerHTML = html
renderAgain = () => render(component, node)
return handleClick
}
// test:
const MyComponent = () => {
const [x, setX] = useState(1)
console.log('in render:', x) // ✅
const handleClick = () => {
setX(current => current + 1)
console.log('in handler/effect/Promise/setTimeout:', x) // ❌ NOT updated
}
return {
html: `<button>${x}</button>`,
handleClick
}
}
const triggerClick = render(MyComponent, document.getElementById('root'))
triggerClick()
triggerClick()
triggerClick()
<div id="root"></div>
I know that there are already very good answers. But I want to give another idea how to solve the same issue, and access the latest 'movie' state, using my module react-useStateRef.
As you understand by using React state you can render the page every time the state change. But by using React ref, you can always get the latest values.
So the module react-useStateRef let you use state's and ref's together. It's backward compatible with React.useState, so you can just replace the import statement
const { useEffect } = React
import { useState } from 'react-usestateref'
const [movies, setMovies] = useState(initialValue);
useEffect(() => {
(async function() {
try {
const result = [
{
id: "1546514491119",
},
];
console.log("result =", result);
setMovies(result);
console.log("movies =", movies.current); // will give you the latest results
} catch (e) {
console.error(e);
}
})();
}, []);

I just finished a rewrite with useReducer, following #kentcdobs article (ref below) which really gave me a solid result that suffers not one bit from these closure problems.
See: https://kentcdodds.com/blog/how-to-use-react-context-effectively
I condensed his readable boilerplate to my preferred level of DRYness -- reading his sandbox implementation will show you how it actually works.
import React from 'react'
// ref: https://kentcdodds.com/blog/how-to-use-react-context-effectively
const ApplicationDispatch = React.createContext()
const ApplicationContext = React.createContext()
function stateReducer(state, action) {
if (state.hasOwnProperty(action.type)) {
return { ...state, [action.type]: state[action.type] = action.newValue };
}
throw new Error(`Unhandled action type: ${action.type}`);
}
const initialState = {
keyCode: '',
testCode: '',
testMode: false,
phoneNumber: '',
resultCode: null,
mobileInfo: '',
configName: '',
appConfig: {},
};
function DispatchProvider({ children }) {
const [state, dispatch] = React.useReducer(stateReducer, initialState);
return (
<ApplicationDispatch.Provider value={dispatch}>
<ApplicationContext.Provider value={state}>
{children}
</ApplicationContext.Provider>
</ApplicationDispatch.Provider>
)
}
function useDispatchable(stateName) {
const context = React.useContext(ApplicationContext);
const dispatch = React.useContext(ApplicationDispatch);
return [context[stateName], newValue => dispatch({ type: stateName, newValue })];
}
function useKeyCode() { return useDispatchable('keyCode'); }
function useTestCode() { return useDispatchable('testCode'); }
function useTestMode() { return useDispatchable('testMode'); }
function usePhoneNumber() { return useDispatchable('phoneNumber'); }
function useResultCode() { return useDispatchable('resultCode'); }
function useMobileInfo() { return useDispatchable('mobileInfo'); }
function useConfigName() { return useDispatchable('configName'); }
function useAppConfig() { return useDispatchable('appConfig'); }
export {
DispatchProvider,
useKeyCode,
useTestCode,
useTestMode,
usePhoneNumber,
useResultCode,
useMobileInfo,
useConfigName,
useAppConfig,
}
With a usage similar to this:
import { useHistory } from "react-router-dom";
// https://react-bootstrap.github.io/components/alerts
import { Container, Row } from 'react-bootstrap';
import { useAppConfig, useKeyCode, usePhoneNumber } from '../../ApplicationDispatchProvider';
import { ControlSet } from '../../components/control-set';
import { keypadClass } from '../../utils/style-utils';
import { MaskedEntry } from '../../components/masked-entry';
import { Messaging } from '../../components/messaging';
import { SimpleKeypad, HandleKeyPress, ALT_ID } from '../../components/simple-keypad';
export const AltIdPage = () => {
const history = useHistory();
const [keyCode, setKeyCode] = useKeyCode();
const [phoneNumber, setPhoneNumber] = usePhoneNumber();
const [appConfig, setAppConfig] = useAppConfig();
const keyPressed = btn => {
const maxLen = appConfig.phoneNumberEntry.entryLen;
const newValue = HandleKeyPress(btn, phoneNumber).slice(0, maxLen);
setPhoneNumber(newValue);
}
const doSubmit = () => {
history.push('s');
}
const disableBtns = phoneNumber.length < appConfig.phoneNumberEntry.entryLen;
return (
<Container fluid className="text-center">
<Row>
<Messaging {...{ msgColors: appConfig.pageColors, msgLines: appConfig.entryMsgs.altIdMsgs }} />
</Row>
<Row>
<MaskedEntry {...{ ...appConfig.phoneNumberEntry, entryColors: appConfig.pageColors, entryLine: phoneNumber }} />
</Row>
<Row>
<SimpleKeypad {...{ keyboardName: ALT_ID, themeName: appConfig.keyTheme, keyPressed, styleClass: keypadClass }} />
</Row>
<Row>
<ControlSet {...{ btnColors: appConfig.buttonColors, disabled: disableBtns, btns: [{ text: 'Submit', click: doSubmit }] }} />
</Row>
</Container>
);
};
AltIdPage.propTypes = {};
Now everything persists smoothly everywhere across all my pages
React's useEffect has its own state/lifecycle. It's related to mutation of state, and it will not update the state until the effect is destroyed.
Just pass a single argument in parameters state or leave it a black array and it will work perfectly.
React.useEffect(() => {
console.log("effect");
(async () => {
try {
let result = await fetch("/query/countries");
const res = await result.json();
let result1 = await fetch("/query/projects");
const res1 = await result1.json();
let result11 = await fetch("/query/regions");
const res11 = await result11.json();
setData({
countries: res,
projects: res1,
regions: res11
});
} catch {}
})(data)
}, [setData])
# or use this
useEffect(() => {
(async () => {
try {
await Promise.all([
fetch("/query/countries").then((response) => response.json()),
fetch("/query/projects").then((response) => response.json()),
fetch("/query/regions").then((response) => response.json())
]).then(([country, project, region]) => {
// console.log(country, project, region);
setData({
countries: country,
projects: project,
regions: region
});
})
} catch {
console.log("data fetch error")
}
})()
}, [setData]);
Alternatively, you can try React.useRef() for instant change in the React hook.
const movies = React.useRef(null);
useEffect(() => {
movies.current='values';
console.log(movies.current)
}, [])
The closure is not the only reason.
Based on the source code of useState (simplified below). Seems to me the value is never assigned right away.
What happens is that an update action is queued when you invoke setValue. And after the schedule kicks in and only when you get to the next render, these update action then is applied to that state.
Which means even we don't have closure issue, react version of useState is not going to give you the new value right away. The new value doesn't even exist until next render.
function useState(initialState) {
let hook;
...
let baseState = hook.memoizedState;
if (hook.queue.pending) {
let firstUpdate = hook.queue.pending.next;
do {
const action = firstUpdate.action;
baseState = action(baseState); // setValue HERE
firstUpdate = firstUpdate.next;
} while (firstUpdate !== hook.queue.pending);
hook.queue.pending = null;
}
hook.memoizedState = baseState;
return [baseState, dispatchAction.bind(null, hook.queue)];
}
function dispatchAction(queue, action) {
const update = {
action,
next: null
};
if (queue.pending === null) {
update.next = update;
} else {
update.next = queue.pending.next;
queue.pending.next = update;
}
queue.pending = update;
isMount = false;
workInProgressHook = fiber.memoizedState;
schedule();
}
There's also an article explaining the above in the similar way, https://dev.to/adamklein/we-don-t-know-how-react-state-hook-works-1lp8
I too was stuck with the same problem. As other answers above have clarified the error here, which is that useState is asynchronous and you are trying to use the value just after setState. It is not updating on the console.log() part because of the asynchronous nature of setState, it lets your further code to execute, while the value updating happens on the background. Thus you are getting the previous value. When the setState is completed on the background it will update the value and you will have access to that value on the next render.
If anyone is interested to understand this in detail. Here is a really good Conference talk on the topic.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8aGhZQkoFbQ
I found this to be good. Instead of defining state (approach 1) as, example,
const initialValue = 1;
const [state,setState] = useState(initialValue)
Try this approach (approach 2),
const [state = initialValue,setState] = useState()
This resolved the rerender issue without using useEffect since we are not concerned with its internal closure approach with this case.
P.S.: If you are concerned with using old state for any use case then useState with useEffect needs to be used since it will need to have that state, so approach 1 shall be used in this situation.
If we have to update state only, then a better way can be if we use the push method to do so.
Here is my code. I want to store URLs from Firebase in state.
const [imageUrl, setImageUrl] = useState([]);
const [reload, setReload] = useState(0);
useEffect(() => {
if (reload === 4) {
downloadUrl1();
}
}, [reload]);
const downloadUrl = async () => {
setImages([]);
try {
for (let i = 0; i < images.length; i++) {
let url = await storage().ref(urls[i].path).getDownloadURL();
imageUrl.push(url);
setImageUrl([...imageUrl]);
console.log(url, 'check', urls.length, 'length', imageUrl.length);
}
}
catch (e) {
console.log(e);
}
};
const handleSubmit = async () => {
setReload(4);
await downloadUrl();
console.log(imageUrl);
console.log('post submitted');
};
This code works to put URLs in state as an array. This might also work for you.
With custom hooks from my library, you can wait for the state values to update:
useAsyncWatcher(...values):watcherFn(peekPrevValue: boolean)=>Promise - is a promise wrapper around useEffect that can wait for updates and return a new value and possibly a previous one if the optional peekPrevValue argument is set to true.
(Live Demo)
import React, { useState, useEffect, useCallback } from "react";
import { useAsyncWatcher } from "use-async-effect2";
function TestComponent(props) {
const [counter, setCounter] = useState(0);
const [text, setText] = useState("");
const textWatcher = useAsyncWatcher(text);
useEffect(() => {
setText(`Counter: ${counter}`);
}, [counter]);
const inc = useCallback(() => {
(async () => {
await new Promise((resolve) => setTimeout(resolve, 1000));
setCounter((counter) => counter + 1);
const updatedText = await textWatcher();
console.log(updatedText);
})();
}, []);
return (
<div className="component">
<div className="caption">useAsyncEffect demo</div>
<div>{counter}</div>
<button onClick={inc}>Inc counter</button>
</div>
);
}
export default TestComponent;
useAsyncDeepState is a deep state implementation (similar to this.setState (patchObject)) whose setter can return a promise synchronized with the internal effect. If the setter is called with no arguments, it does not change the state values, but simply subscribes to state updates. In this case, you can get the state value from anywhere inside your component, since function closures are no longer a hindrance.
(Live Demo)
import React, { useCallback, useEffect } from "react";
import { useAsyncDeepState } from "use-async-effect2";
function TestComponent(props) {
const [state, setState] = useAsyncDeepState({
counter: 0,
computedCounter: 0
});
useEffect(() => {
setState(({ counter }) => ({
computedCounter: counter * 2
}));
}, [state.counter]);
const inc = useCallback(() => {
(async () => {
await new Promise((resolve) => setTimeout(resolve, 1000));
await setState(({ counter }) => ({ counter: counter + 1 }));
console.log("computedCounter=", state.computedCounter);
})();
});
return (
<div className="component">
<div className="caption">useAsyncDeepState demo</div>
<div>state.counter : {state.counter}</div>
<div>state.computedCounter : {state.computedCounter}</div>
<button onClick={() => inc()}>Inc counter</button>
</div>
);
}
var [state,setState]=useState(defaultValue)
useEffect(()=>{
var updatedState
setState(currentState=>{ // Do not change the state by get the updated state
updateState=currentState
return currentState
})
alert(updateState) // the current state.
})
Without any addtional NPM package
//...
const BackendPageListing = () => {
const [ myData, setMyData] = useState( {
id: 1,
content: "abc"
})
const myFunction = ( x ) => {
setPagenateInfo({
...myData,
content: x
})
console.log(myData) // not reflecting change immediately
let myDataNew = {...myData, content: x };
console.log(myDataNew) // Reflecting change immediately
}
return (
<>
<button onClick={()=>{ myFunction("New Content")} }>Update MyData</button>
</>
)
Not saying to do this, but it isn't hard to do what the OP asked without useEffect.
Use a promise to resolve the new state in the body of the setter function:
const getState = <T>(
setState: React.Dispatch<React.SetStateAction<T>>
): Promise<T> => {
return new Promise((resolve) => {
setState((currentState: T) => {
resolve(currentState);
return currentState;
});
});
};
And this is how you use it (example shows the comparison between count and outOfSyncCount/syncCount in the UI rendering):
const App: React.FC = () => {
const [count, setCount] = useState(0);
const [outOfSyncCount, setOutOfSyncCount] = useState(0);
const [syncCount, setSyncCount] = useState(0);
const handleOnClick = async () => {
setCount(count + 1);
// Doesn't work
setOutOfSyncCount(count);
// Works
const newCount = await getState(setCount);
setSyncCount(newCount);
};
return (
<>
<h2>Count = {count}</h2>
<h2>Synced count = {syncCount}</h2>
<h2>Out of sync count = {outOfSyncCount}</h2>
<button onClick={handleOnClick}>Increment</button>
</>
);
};
Use the Background Timer library. It solved my problem.
const timeoutId = BackgroundTimer.setTimeout(() => {
// This will be executed once after 1 seconds
// even when the application is the background
console.log('tac');
}, 1000);
// replace
return <p>hello</p>;
// with
return <p>{JSON.stringify(movies)}</p>;
Now you should see, that your code actually does work. What does not work is the console.log(movies). This is because movies points to the old state. If you move your console.log(movies) outside of useEffect, right above the return, you will see the updated movies object.
I'm trying to mock the return value (or implementation) of the functions inside another module's function with Jest. I need to test different scenarios (function throws error, returns null, returns an object, etc...)
That module (userService) returns a function that returns an object with that functions:
userService.js (I want to mock the return value of findUser & createUser)
...
function userService(userModel) {
async function findUser(userQuery) {
...
return foundUser;
}
async function createUser(user) {
...
return createdUser;
}
return { findUser, createUser };
}
module.exports = userService;
And I'm testing authStravaController, which uses that service functions:
authStravaController
...
const authStravaServiceRaw = require('../../services/authStravaService');
const userServiceRaw = require('../../services/userService');
const bikeServiceRaw = require('../../services/bikeService');
...
function authStravaController(userModel, bikeModel) {
const { findUser, createUser } = userServiceRaw(userModel); <-- WANT TO MOCK THAT FUNCTIONS
async function authStrava({ body: { authCode } }, res) {
...
try {
...
const findUserQuery = {
stravaUserId: stravaBasicUser.stravaUserId,
};
authUser = await findUser(findUserQuery); <-- MOCK THIS FUNCTION RETURN MULTIPLE TIMES
if (!authUser) {
resStatus = CREATED;
createdUser = await createUser(stravaBasicUser); <-- SAME
...
createdUser.bikes = createdBikes.map((bike) => bike._id);
createdUser.save();
authUser = { createdUser, createdBikes };
}
return handleResponseSuccess(res, resStatus, authUser);
} catch (authStravaError) {
return handleResponseError(res, authStravaError);
}
}
return { authStrava };
}
module.exports = authStravaController;
At the moment I've been able to mock the function return value just 1 time, and I can't find a way to rewrite it, so now I can only test 1 scenario
This code at the top of the file let me test 1 scenario
jest.mock('../../services/userService', () => () => ({
findUser: jest.fn().mockReturnValue(1),
createUser: jest.fn().mockReturnValue({ username: 'userName', save: jest.fn() }),
}));
I've tried to mock it in multiple ways and can't get it to work, how could I do it to test different return values:
findUser: jest.fn().mockReturnValue(1),
findUser: jest.fn().mockReturnValue(undefined),
findUser: jest.fn().mockReturnValue({user:'username'}),
etc...
Thanks!
I fixed it importing all the services outside the controller function, at the top of the file.
This way I can mock the returnValue of any function.
I have an httpService from nestjs/common
and I am using like the following:
const response = await this.httpService.post(`${this.api}/${action}`, data).toPromise();
and in my jest spec file ( unit testing) . i am trying to mock this service
httpServiceMock = {
post: jest.fn()
};
it('should start', async () => {
const serviceResult = await service.start(data);
});
and I have got this error :
TypeError: this.httpService.post(...).toPromise is not a function
I am also trying to add a promise result like :
const promise = Promise.resolve('result');
httpServiceMock.post.mockResolvedValue(promise);
tried also :
it('should start', async () => {
const mockObservable = Promise.resolve({
toPromise: () => {
console.log('toPromise called');
}
})
httpServiceMock.post.mockImplementation(() => mockObservable);
const serviceResult = await service.start();
});
My question is how can I mock the promise and return a response or exception
The return value httpService.post needs to return an Observable<AxiosResponse<T>> which includes a property toPromise, which is a function. Your mock returns a resolved promise, whereas it needs to return a fake Observable.
The Observable is returned immediately, so the post implementation can just return a raw value, but the toPromise needs to return a promise.
Return the correct shaped object to get rid of this error:
const mockObservable = {
toPromise: () => Promise.resolve('result')
}
httpServiceMock.post.mockImplementation(() => mockObservable);
I had a similar problem that could not be solved by accepted answer. So I bring here another solution just in case it could help someone else.
If you have jasmine, just use jasmine.createSpyObj(). If not, here is what I needed to do :
First, I implemented a jasmine.createSpyObj() equivalent (based on this answer with little modifications) :
export class TestUtilsService {
static createSpyObj (baseName:string, methodNames:string[]): SpyObject {
let obj: any = {};
for (let i = 0; i < methodNames.length; i++) {
obj[methodNames[i]] = jest.fn();
}
return {[baseName]:()=>obj};
};
}
export class SpyObject {
[key: string]: ()=>{[key:string]:jest.Mock} ;
}
Then I used it in my unit test :
const spyHttpClient: SpyObject = TestUtilsService.createSpyObj('get',['toPromise']);
Add it in test module providers :
{provide: HttpClient, useValue: spyHttpClient}
Finally, mock the toPromise implementation in order to return a mocked response :
const mockedResponse = {...};
spyHttpClient.get().toPromise.mockImplementationOnce(()=>Promise.resolve(mockedResponse));
await service.myRealMethodThatCallsHttpClient();
expect(service.someUpdatedProp).toBeTruthy();
Please notice parenthesis after method get.
"A Jar of Clays" solution didn't work for me (I got mockImplementation is not a function), but this worked:
const mockPromise = {
toPromise: () => Promise.resolve(ical)
}
mockHttpService.get = jest.fn( () => {return mockPromise});
I'm testing a functional component, that use React-Hooks and Redux-Saga. I can pass parameters in URL for the component, because they are a login page component.
My URL i pass is 'localhost/access/parameter', and when this parameter exists, i need to call a async redux saga, and if the fetch is OK, i put the result in redux-store. When the result is on redux-store, i have a useEffect that verify the result and if is OK, i put her in a input.
I can mock the result with axios, but i'm migrating to use only fetch. i mock the fetch, but when i use
mount(component), provided by enzyme, i do not how to await the redux-saga termine the request and useEffect do your job. I put a console log inside a effect, saga and log the input props to see your value prop, but the value is always empty . I tried to use setImmediate() and process.nextTick().
Links i use to write the code: 1,2, 3
I'm using formik, so they pass some props to me.
My component
const Login = ({
setFieldError, errors, response, fetchDomain, location, values, handleChange, handleBlur, setFieldValue, history,
}) => {
useEffect(() => {
async function fetchUrlDomain() {
const { pathname } = location;
const [, , domain] = pathname.split('/');
if (typeof domain !== 'undefined') {
await fetchDomain(domain);
}
}
fetchUrlDomain();
}, [fetchDomain, location]);
useEffect(() => {
if (typeof response === 'string') {
setFieldError('domain', 'Domain not found');
inputDomain.current.focus();
} else if (Object.keys(response).length > 0) {
setFieldValue('domain', response.Domain);
setFieldError('domain', '');
}
}, [response, setFieldValue, setFieldError]);
return (
<input name="domain" id="domain" value={values.domain} onChange={handleChange} onBlur={handleBlur} type="text" />
);
}
const LoginFormik = withFormik({
mapPropsToValues: () => ({ domain: '' }),
enableReinitialize: false,
validateOnBlur: false,
validateOnChange: false,
})(Login);
const mapStateToProps = () => ({ });
const mapDispatchToProps = dispatch => ({
fetchDomain: (value) => {
dispatch(action({}, constants.RESET_RESPONSE_DOMAIN));
dispatch(action(value, constants.FETCH_DOMAIN_REQUEST));
},
});
export default connect(mapStateToProps, mapDispatchToProps)(LoginFormik);
My Saga
export function* fetchDomain(action) {
const url = yield `${mainUrl}/${action.payload}`;
try {
const response = yield fetch(url).then(res => res.json());
yield put(reduxAction(response , constants.FETCH_DOMAIN_SUCCESS));
} catch (e) {
yield put(reduxAction(e, constants.FETCH_DOMAIN_FAILURE));
}

case constants.FETCH_DOMAIN_FAILURE:
return { ...initialState, response: 'Domain not found' };
case constants.FETCH_DOMAIN_SUCCESS: {
const { payload } = action;
return {
...initialState,
id: payload.Id,
apis: payload.Apis,
response: payload,
};
}
case constants.RESET_RESPONSE_DOMAIN:
return { ...initialState };
My Test
it('input with fetch only', (done) => {
const mockSuccessResponse = {
Id: 'fafafafa',
Apis: [],
Domain: 'NAME',
};
const mockJsonPromise = Promise.resolve(mockSuccessResponse);
const mockFetchPromise = Promise.resolve({
json: () => mockJsonPromise,
});
global.fetch = jest.fn().mockImplementation(() => mockFetchPromise);
const wrapper = mount(
<Provider store={store}>
<LoginForm
history={{ push: jest.fn() }}
location={{ pathname: 'localhost/login/Domain' }}
/>
</Provider>,
);
process.nextTick(() => {
const input = wrapper.find('#domain');
console.log(input.props());
expect(input.props().value.toLowerCase()).toBe('name');
global.fetch.mockClear();
done();
});
});
I expect my input have value, but he don't. I tried to use jest-fetch-mock but just don't work, and i want to use native jest methods, no thirty party libraries.
I cannot say what's wrong with your current code. But want to propose different approach instead.
Currently you are testing both redux part and component's one. It contradicts with unit testing strategy when ideally you should mock everything except module under the test.
So I mean if you focus on testing component itself it'd be way easier(less mocks to create) and more readable. For that you need additionally export unwrapped component(Login in your case). Then you can test only its props-vs-render result:
it('calls fetchDomain() with domain part of location', () => {
const fetchDomain = jest.fn();
const location = { pathName: 'example.com/path/sub' }
shallow(<Login fetchDomain={fetchDomain} location={location} />);
expect(fetchDomain).toHaveBeenCalledTimes(1);
expect(fetchDomain).toHaveBeenCalledWith('example.com');
});
it('re-calls fetchDomain() on each change of location prop', () => {
const fetchDomain = jest.fn();
const location = { pathName: 'example.com/path/sub' }
const wrapper = shallow(<Login fetchDomain={fetchDomain} location={location} />);
fetchDomain.mockClear();
wrapper.setProps({ location: { pathName: 'another.org/path' } });
expect(fetchDomain).toHaveBeenCalledTimes(1);
expect(fetchDomain).toHaveBeenCalledWith('another.org');
});
And the same for other cases. See with this approach if you replace redux with direct call to fetch() or whatever, or if you refactor that data to come from parent instead of reading from redux store you will not need to rewrite tests removing mocks to redux. Sure, you will still need to test redux part but it also can be done in isolation.
PS and there is no profit to await fetchDomain(...) in useEffect since you don't use what it returns. await does not work like a pause and that code may rather confuse reader.
