Enzyme
Enzyme is a JavaScript Testing utility for React that makes it easier to test your React Components' output. You can also manipulate, traverse, and in some ways simulate runtime given the output.
Enzyme's API is meant to be intuitive and flexible by mimicking jQuery's API for DOM manipulation and traversal.
Upgrading from Enzyme 2.x or React < 16
Are you here to check whether or not Enzyme is compatible with React 16? Are you currently using Enzyme 2.x? Great! Check out our migration guide for help moving on to Enzyme v3 where React 16 is supported.
Installation
To get started with enzyme, you can simply install it via npm. You will need to install enzyme along with an Adapter corresponding to the version of react (or other UI Component library) you are using. For instance, if you are using enzyme with React 16, you can run:
npm i --save-dev enzyme enzyme-adapter-react-16
Each adapter may have additional peer dependencies which you will need to install as well. For instance, enzyme-adapter-react-16 has peer dependencies on react and react-dom.
At the moment, Enzyme has adapters that provide compatibility with React 16.x, React 15.x, React 0.14.x and React 0.13.x.
The following adapters are officially provided by enzyme, and have the following compatibility with React:
| Enzyme Adapter Package | React semver compatibility |
|---|---|
enzyme-adapter-react-16 |
^16.4.0-0 |
enzyme-adapter-react-16.3 |
~16.3.0-0 |
enzyme-adapter-react-16.2 |
~16.2 |
enzyme-adapter-react-16.1 |
~16.0.0-0 || ~16.1 |
enzyme-adapter-react-15 |
^15.5.0 |
enzyme-adapter-react-15.4 |
15.0.0-0 - 15.4.x |
enzyme-adapter-react-14 |
^0.14.0 |
enzyme-adapter-react-13 |
^0.13.0 |
Finally, you need to configure enzyme to use the adapter you want it to use. To do this, you can use the top level configure(...) API.
import Enzyme from 'enzyme';
import Adapter from 'enzyme-adapter-react-16';
Enzyme.configure({ adapter: new Adapter() });
3rd Party Adapters
It is possible for the community to create additional (non-official) adapters that will make enzyme work with other libraries. If you have made one and it's not included in the list below, feel free to make a PR to this README and add a link to it! The known 3rd party adapters are:
| Adapter Package | For Library | Status |
|---|---|---|
enzyme-adapter-preact-pure |
preact |
(stable) |
enzyme-adapter-inferno |
inferno |
(work in progress) |
Running Enzyme Tests
Enzyme is unopinionated regarding which test runner or assertion library you use, and should be compatible with all major test runners and assertion libraries out there. The documentation and examples for enzyme use Mocha and Chai, but you should be able to extrapolate to your framework of choice.
If you are interested in using enzyme with custom assertions and convenience functions for testing your React components, you can consider using:
chai-enzymewith Mocha/Chai.jasmine-enzymewith Jasmine.jest-enzymewith Jest.should-enzymefor should.js.expect-enzymefor expect.

Basic Usage
Shallow Rendering
import React from 'react';
import { expect } from 'chai';
import { shallow } from 'enzyme';
import sinon from 'sinon';
import MyComponent from './MyComponent';
import Foo from './Foo';
describe('<MyComponent />', () => {
it('renders three <Foo /> components', () => {
const wrapper = shallow(<MyComponent />);
expect(wrapper.find(Foo)).to.have.lengthOf(3);
});
it('renders an `.icon-star`', () => {
const wrapper = shallow(<MyComponent />);
expect(wrapper.find('.icon-star')).to.have.lengthOf(1);
});
it('renders children when passed in', () => {
const wrapper = shallow((
<MyComponent>
<div className="unique" />
</MyComponent>
));
expect(wrapper.contains(<div className="unique" />)).to.equal(true);
});
it('simulates click events', () => {
const onButtonClick = sinon.spy();
const wrapper = shallow(<Foo onButtonClick={onButtonClick} />);
wrapper.find('button').simulate('click');
expect(onButtonClick).to.have.property('callCount', 1);
});
});

Full DOM Rendering
import React from 'react';
import sinon from 'sinon';
import { expect } from 'chai';
import { mount } from 'enzyme';
import Foo from './Foo';
describe('<Foo />', () => {
it('allows us to set props', () => {
const wrapper = mount(<Foo bar="baz" />);
expect(wrapper.props().bar).to.equal('baz');
wrapper.setProps({ bar: 'foo' });
expect(wrapper.props().bar).to.equal('foo');
});
it('simulates click events', () => {
const onButtonClick = sinon.spy();
const wrapper = mount((
<Foo onButtonClick={onButtonClick} />
));
wrapper.find('button').simulate('click');
expect(onButtonClick).to.have.property('callCount', 1);
});
it('calls componentDidMount', () => {
sinon.spy(Foo.prototype, 'componentDidMount');
const wrapper = mount(<Foo />);
expect(Foo.prototype.componentDidMount).to.have.property('callCount', 1);
Foo.prototype.componentDidMount.restore();
});
});

Static Rendered Markup
import React from 'react';
import { expect } from 'chai';
import { render } from 'enzyme';
import Foo from './Foo';
describe('<Foo />', () => {
it('renders three `.foo-bar`s', () => {
const wrapper = render(<Foo />);
expect(wrapper.find('.foo-bar')).to.have.lengthOf(3);
});
it('renders the title', () => {
const wrapper = render(<Foo title="unique" />);
expect(wrapper.text()).to.contain('unique');
});
});

React Hooks support
Enzyme supports react hooks with some limitations in .shallow() due to upstream issues in React's shallow renderer:
-
useEffect()anduseLayoutEffect()don't get called in the React shallow renderer. Related issue -
useCallback()doesn't memoize callback in React shallow renderer. Related issue
ReactTestUtils.act() wrap
If you're using React 16.8+ and .mount(), Enzyme will wrap apis including .simulate(), .setProps(), .setContext(), .invoke() with ReactTestUtils.act() so you don't need to manually wrap it.
A common pattern to trigger handlers with .act() and assert is:
const wrapper = mount(<SomeComponent />);
act(() => wrapper.prop('handler')());
wrapper.update();
expect(/* ... */);
We cannot wrap the result of .prop() (or .props()) with .act() in Enzyme internally since it will break the equality of the returned value. However, you could use .invoke() to simplify the code:
const wrapper = mount(<SomeComponent />);
wrapper.invoke('handler')();
expect(/* ... */);
