mount()

  • Arguments:

    • {Component} component
    • {Object} options
  • Returns: {Wrapper}

  • Options:

See options

  • Usage:

Creates a Wrapper that contains the mounted and rendered Vue component.

Without options:

import { mount } from '@vue/test-utils'
import Foo from './Foo.vue'

describe('Foo', () => {
  it('renders a div', () => {
    const wrapper = mount(Foo)
    expect(wrapper.contains('div')).toBe(true)
  })
})

With Vue options:

import { mount } from '@vue/test-utils'
import Foo from './Foo.vue'

describe('Foo', () => {
  it('renders a div', () => {
    const wrapper = mount(Foo, {
      propsData: {
        color: 'red'
      }
    })
    expect(wrapper.props().color).toBe('red')
  })
})

Attach to DOM:

import { mount } from '@vue/test-utils'
import Foo from './Foo.vue'

describe('Foo', () => {
  it('renders a div', () => {
    const div = document.createElement('div')
    document.body.appendChild(div)
    const wrapper = mount(Foo, {
      attachTo: div
    })
    expect(wrapper.contains('div')).toBe(true)
    wrapper.destroy()
  })
})

Default and named slots:

import { mount } from '@vue/test-utils'
import Foo from './Foo.vue'
import Bar from './Bar.vue'
import FooBar from './FooBar.vue'

describe('Foo', () => {
  it('renders a div', () => {
    const wrapper = mount(Foo, {
      slots: {
        default: [Bar, FooBar],
        fooBar: FooBar, // Will match `<slot name="FooBar" />`.
        foo: '<div />'
      }
    })
    expect(wrapper.contains('div')).toBe(true)
  })
})

Stubbing global properties:

import { mount } from '@vue/test-utils'
import Foo from './Foo.vue'

describe('Foo', () => {
  it('renders a div', () => {
    const $route = { path: 'http://www.example-path.com' }
    const wrapper = mount(Foo, {
      mocks: {
        $route
      }
    })
    expect(wrapper.vm.$route.path).toBe($route.path)
  })
})

Stubbing components:

import { mount } from '@vue/test-utils'
import Foo from './Foo.vue'
import Bar from './Bar.vue'
import Faz from './Faz.vue'

describe('Foo', () => {
  it('renders a div', () => {
    const wrapper = mount(Foo, {
      stubs: {
        BarFoo: true,
        FooBar: Faz,
        Bar: { template: '<div class="stubbed" />' }
      }
    })
    expect(wrapper.contains('.stubbed')).toBe(true)
    expect(wrapper.contains(Bar)).toBe(true)
  })
})

Deprecation Notice:

When stubbing components, supplying a string (ComponentToStub: '<div class="stubbed" />) is no longer supported.
