mockInitialState()

function mockInitialState(results: Fixture[]): State;

mockInitialState() makes it easy to construct prefill the cache with fixtures. It's used in \<MockResolver /> to process the results prop. However, this can also be useful to send into a normal provider when testing more complete flows that need to handle dispatches (and thus fetch).

Arguments

results

export interface SuccessFixture {
  request: ReadShape<Schema, object>;
  params: object;
  result: object | string | number;
  error?: false;
}

export interface ErrorFixture {
  request: ReadShape<Schema, object>;
  params: object;
  result: Error;
  error: true;
}

export type Fixture = SuccessFixture | ErrorFixture;

This prop specifies the fixtures to use data from. Each item represents a fetch defined by the Endpoint and params. Result contains the JSON response expected from said fetch.

Returns

State

This can be used as the initialState prop for \<CacheProvider />

Example

import { CacheProvider } from 'rest-hooks';
import { mockInitialState } from '@rest-hooks/test';

import ArticleResource from 'resources/ArticleResource';
import MyComponentToTest from 'components/MyComponentToTest';

const results = [
  {
    request: ArticleResource.list(),
    params: { maxResults: 10 },
    result: [
      {
        id: 5,
        content: 'have a merry christmas',
        author: 2,
        contributors: [],
      },
      {
        id: 532,
        content: 'never again',
        author: 23,
        contributors: [5],
      },
    ],
  },
];

<CacheProvider initialState={mockInitialState(results)}>
  <MyComponentToTest />
</CacheProvider>
