Here is the function that I wanna test, it takes a token and a description as props. Normally in React code, I can get token from useContext.
export const updateUserProfileAbout = async (
token,
description
) => {
const dataUpdateTemplateDescriptionRes = await patchData(`me/`, token, {
about:description,
});
const dataUpdateTemplateDescriptionJson = await dataUpdateTemplateDescriptionRes.json();
return dataUpdateTemplateDescriptionJson;
};
And here is my custom patchData function:
const patchData = async (urn, token, data = "") => {
const headers = {
"Content-Type": "application/json",
Authorization: `Bearer ${token.access}`,
};
const body = data ? JSON.stringify(data) : null;
let response;
if (body) {
response = await fetch(`${host}/api/${urn}`, {
method: "PATCH",
headers,
body,
});
} else {
response = await fetch(`${host}/api/${urn}`, {
method: "PATCH",
headers,
});
}
if (!response.ok) throw new Error(response.status);
return response;
};
After one more day of researching, I might be wrong though but I don't think I have to care about token or authorization when unit testing for front-end. All I need is jest.fn() to mock function and jest.spyOn(global, "fetch") to track fetch API.
