Overview of this book

Developed by Facebook, React is a popular library for building impressive user interfaces. React extends its capabilities to the mobile platform using the React Native framework and integrates with popular web and mobile tools to build scalable applications. React Projects is your guide to learning React development by using modern development patterns and integrating React with powerful web tools such as GraphQL, Expo, and React 360. You'll start building a real-world project right from the first chapter and get hands on with developing scalable applications as you advance to building more complex projects. Throughout the book, you'll use the latest versions of React and React Native to explore features such as Higher Order Components (HOC), Context, and Hooks on multiple platforms, which will help you build full stack web and mobile applications efficiently. Finally, you'll delve into unit testing with Jest to build test-driven apps. By the end of this React book, you'll have developed the skills necessary to start building scalable React apps across web and mobile platforms.

Summary

In this chapter, we covered testing for React applications using Jest in combination with either react-test-renderer or Enzyme. Both packages are a great resource to every developer that wants to add test scripts to their application, and they also work well with React. The advantages of having tests for your application were discussed in this chapter, and hopefully, you now know how to add test scripts to any project. Also, the differences between unit tests and integration tests were shown.

Since the application that was tested in this chapter has the same structure as the applications from the previous chapters, the same testing principles can be applied to any of the applications we've built in this book.

The next chapter will combine a lot of the patterns and libraries we've already used in this book as we'll be creating a full-stack e-commerce store...
