jest-html Build Status npm version

Preview Jest snapshots right in your browser. Compatible with Jest 17 and higher

Jest-HTML and Chrome's devtools

Why?

  • Preview of React component snapshots in your browser (snapshots and browser devtools, yay!).
  • Compatible with non-React snapshots as well.
  • Snapshot diffing (both HTML and raw) and visible indicators that a descendant suite or snapshot has changed.
  • Custom CSS stylesheets applicable to all snapshots or individual ones.
  • Intuitive navigation through folders, snapshot suites, and even snapshot groups within a suite.
  • Real-time updates whenever a snapshot or CSS file changes.
  • Quickly toggle between the raw snapshots and the HTML previews.

Installation

Add jest-html to your development dependencies:

$ npm install --save-dev jest-html

# or if you use yarn:
$ yarn add jest-html --dev

Add the following configuration to your package.json:

{
  "jest": {
    "snapshotSerializers": ["jest-html"]
  },
  "scripts": {
    "jest-html": "jest-html"
  }
}

Basic usage

By adding jest-html to your snapshotSerializers, HTML previews will be automatically appended to React component snapshots the next time you update them (jest -u).

To review your snapshots, run npm run jest-html (yarn run jest-html). This launches your default browser and opens the jest-html application.

To see all CLI options, run node_modules/.bin/jest-html --help:

  Usage: jest-html [options]

  Options:

    -h, --help                      output usage information
    -V, --version                   output the version number
    -f --snapshot-patterns [globs]  Glob patterns for snapshot files (comma-separated)
    -c --css-patterns [globs]       Glob patterns for CSS stylesheets that will be used for ALL snapshots (comma-separated)
    -p, --port [port]               Initial port number to use (if unavailable, the next available one will be used)
    --no-watch                      Do not watch initially detected snapshot and css files

By default, jest-html looks for snapshots under **/*.snap,!node_modules/**/*, but you can change this using the --snapshot-patterns argument.

Adding custom CSS

jest-html allows the user to add custom CSS to all snapshots or individual ones.

If a snapshot.css file is present at your project root directory, it will be used for all snapshots. You can also modify this default via the --css-patterns CLI option (takes glob patterns, the same as --snapshot-patterns).

CSS can also be added to particular snapshot suites, by including a .css file in the same directory as the snapshot file. For example, settings.js.css will add CSS to the co-located settings.js.snap suite.
