Overview of this book

Svelte is a popular front-end framework used for its focus on performance and user-friendliness, and test-driven development (TDD) is a powerful approach that helps in creating automated tests before writing code. By combining them, you can create efficient, maintainable code for modern applications. Svelte with Test-Driven Development will help you learn effective automated testing practices to build and maintain Svelte applications. In the first part of the book, you’ll find a guided walkthrough on building a SvelteKit application using the TDD workflow. You’ll uncover the main concepts for writing effective unit test cases and practical advice for developing solid, maintainable test suites that can speed up application development while remaining effective as the application evolves. In the next part of the book, you’ll focus on refactoring and advanced test techniques, such as using component mocks and writing BDD-style tests with the Cucumber.js framework. In the final part of the book, you’ll explore how to test complex application and framework features, including authentication, Svelte stores, and service workers. By the end of this book, you’ll be well-equipped to build test-driven Svelte applications by employing theoretical and practical knowledge.

Editing Form Data

The preceding two chapters showed how to build an HTML form to add new birthdays into the Birthdays application and how to add server-side validation for that form. This chapter wraps up the form implementation by adding the ability to edit existing birthday information.

Doing this will involve adding Svelte component state to track whether the edit form is in listing or editing mode.

Up to this point, the server has stored data in a plain JavaScript array. We have been using TDD to force the simplest implementation that could possibly work. This chapter brings in a more complex implementation that uses a Map object, which we’ll do as part of the Refactor step as part of the Red-Green-Refactor workflow.

This chapter will cover the following key topics:

  • Planning the path ahead
  • Adding a Playwright test for editing form data
  • Evolving the repository to allow ID lookup
  • Updating the form action to handle edits
  • Updating the list page...
