Enzyme call method

Question

Let's say I have a method in my React component:

doSomething() {
    // method uses this.props and this.state
}

I want to test this method for different props and states that are set. So how can I call it? MyClass.prototype.doSomething will call the function, but then this.props and this.state are not set.

Answer 1

You can use enzyme's instance function to get an instance of the rendered component, and call methods on it.

const wrapper = shallow(<MyClass {...props} />) wrapper.instance().doSomething()
