Example

Component

<script>
  export let name

  let buttonText = 'Button'

  function handleClick() {
    buttonText = 'Button Clicked'
  }
</script>

<h1>Hello {name}!</h1>

<button on:click="{handleClick}">{buttonText}</button>

Test

// NOTE: jest-dom adds handy assertions to Jest (and Vitest) and it is recommended, but not required.
import '@testing-library/jest-dom'

import {render, fireEvent, screen} from '@testing-library/svelte'

import Comp from '../Comp'

test('shows proper heading when rendered', () => {
  render(Comp, {name: 'World'})
  const heading = screen.getByText('Hello World!')
  expect(heading).toBeInTheDocument()
})

// Note: This is as an async test as we are using `fireEvent`
test('changes button text on click', async () => {
  render(Comp, {name: 'World'})
  const button = screen.getByRole('button')

  // Using await when firing events is unique to the svelte testing library because
  // we have to wait for the next `tick` so that Svelte flushes all pending state changes.
  await fireEvent.click(button)

  expect(button).toHaveTextContent('Button Clicked')
})
