FAQPage Schema
How do I test React components with Testing Library and Vitest?

Use structured patterns for rendering, user interactions, and accessibility checks to test React components with Testing Library and Vitest. This ensures reliable UI development and reduces flaky tests across unit and hook tests.

What is the best way to mock API calls in React tests?

The best way to mock API calls in React tests is using MSW. This Skill provides patterns for API mocking with MSW to handle async state testing and ensure deterministic execution.

How do I test custom React hooks with renderHook?

Test custom React hooks using the renderHook method provided by Testing Library. This Skill guides teams to implement repeatable hook tests covering async state and API mocking scenarios.

Does this React testing approach include accessibility checks?

Yes, this React testing approach includes accessibility checks. The patterns guide teams to validate accessibility alongside rendering and user interactions within Vitest test suites.

Why are my React component tests flaky and how can I fix them?

React component tests are flaky due to inconsistent testing practices and unhandled async state. Fix flaky tests by adopting structured patterns for rendering, API mocking with MSW, and deterministic execution.

Can I use these testing patterns with my existing Vitest test scaffold?

Yes, you can use these testing patterns with existing Vitest test scaffolds. The Skill integrates with common toolchains like Testing Library and Vitest without requiring new dependencies.
