Change a state value in a React testing library
I have the following component:
import { useState } from 'react';
export function MyComponent() {
const [val, setVal] = useState(false);
return (
big container
{val && small container}
);
}
export default MyComponent;
There is a div containing the text "small container", which only appears when val is true.
I want to write a test in Jest for this, but how can I mock the value of val there?
Here is my code so far:
it('small container visible only when val is true', () => {
const { queryByText } = render( );
const toTest = queryByText('small container');
expect(toTest).not.toBeInTheDocument();
});
This test passes, but how can the added val be set to true in order to test that toTest is present in the document?
