Experiment for testing HTML and vanilla JS with Jest and @testing-library/dom

DOM Testing Demo

This is an experimental project for testing HTML and vanilla JS with Jest and @testing-library/dom. You can read my article on Medium about this project as well.

Motivation

I've used Jest and @testing-library/react alongside React extensively in professional and personal projects, but I've never tried writing unit tests to test a UI that was created without any UI frameworks or libraries.

Development

If you'd like to run this project locally, clone the repo and then:

1. yarn install (or npm install) to install dependencies
2. yarn start (or npm start) to preview the app locally
3. yarn test (or npm test) to run the tests
