I had a friend send me this testing code: describe('handleChangeStatusConditionSearchText', () => { test('should handle changing status search text within FormWizard', () => { const wrapper = shallow(); const state = { ...wrapper.instance().state, statusConditionSearchText: 'poop' }; wrapper.instance().handleChangeStatusConditionSearchText('poop'); expect(wrapper.instance().state).toEqual(state); }); }); And I had a few concerns with it, so I decided to record

The Utility of ESLint

3 Minutes with Kent ·

2017/05/19

I had a friend help me out on a project last night. His PR had a few linting issues so I asked him to fix some of them and later saw him on twitter expressing frustrating that ESLint can get in the way of building stuff. I agree with him to a point. This is how I feel about ESLint. Links: - ESLint (http://eslint.org/) - eslint-config-kentcdodds (https://github.com/kentcdodds/eslint-config-kentcdodds) See you all around!

Back in January, James Long (https://twitter.com/jlongster) introduced us (http://jlongster.com/A-Prettier-Formatter) to his new JavaScript code formatting tool prettier (https://github.com/prettier/prettier). It gained popularity quickly and just two days later I released prettier-eslint (https://github.com/prettier/prettier-eslint). Since then, a bunch of tooling has been built around these tools to make the experience and workflow really awesome. I'm excited to say that we're now using it on

One of my best internet friends Sarah Drasner (https://twitter.com/sarah_edo) recently tweeted (https://twitter.com/sarah_edo/status/864126183570591744) something really nice about me: IMHO the contributions @kentcdodds (https://twitter.com/kentcdodds) makes are huge because he teaches people how to contribute to OSS. That's time investment that scales 🎖 I really appreciated that validation and those kind words and I want to talk about it a little bit more so here are my thoughts on that. In

When to use Snapshots 📸 with Jest

3 Minutes with Kent ·

2017/05/11

I get a lot of questions (https://github.com/kentcdodds/ama/issues/275) about when it's appropriate to use Jest snapshot testing, or why you wouldn't use snapshots for pretty much everything. This brief is my answer. If you're unfamiliar with Jest snapshot testing, it's really great and you can learn about what it is and how it works here (https://egghead.io/lessons/javascript-use-jest-s-snapshot-testing-feature?pl=testing-javascript-with-jest-a36c4074).
