Unit testing Vue.js components with the official Vue testing tools and Jest

An official toolset for testing Vue components will be released soon. In a new series Jover Morales tells you all about it.

vue-test-utils, the official VueJS testing library and based on avoriaz, is just around the corner. @EddYerburgh is indeed doing a very good job creating it. It provides all necessary tooling for making easy to write unit test in a VueJS application.

Jest, on the other side, is the testing framework developed at Facebook, which makes testing a breeze, with awesome features such as:

  • Almost no config by default
  • Very cool interactive mode
  • Run tests in parallel
  • Spies, stubs and mocks out of the box
  • Built in code coverage
  • Snapshot testing
  • Module mocking utilities
