Hyperscript Tagged Markup for svelte to simplify testing

If your are already using babel take a look at svelte-jsx.

What?

Write svelte components in jsx-like syntax in Standard JavaScript Tagged Templates which works in all modern browsers and in node.

Why?

This is especially useful for testing svelte components.

Installation

npm install --save-dev svelte-htm

And then import it:

// using es modules
import html from 'svelte-htm';

// common.js
const html = require('svelte-htm');

Alternatively use UNPKG or jsDelivr packages:

With script tags and globals:

<!-- UNPKG -->
<script src="https://unpkg.com/svelte-htm"></script>

<!-- jsDelivr -->
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/svelte-htm"></script>

<script>
	<!-- And then grab it off the global like so: -->
	const html = svelteHtml;
</script>

Hotlinking from unpkg: (no build tool needed!)

import html from 'https://unpkg.com/svelte-htm?module';

Usage

import {render, fireEvent} from '@testing-library/svelte';
import html from 'svelte-htm';

import Button from '../src/Button.svelte';

test('should render', async () => {
	let clicked = 0;
	const {getByRole} = render(html`<${Button} on:click=${() => (clicked += 1)}>Click Me!<//>`);

	const button = getByRole('button');

	await fireEvent.click(button);

	expect(clicked).toBe(1);
});

API

We aim to support all svelte features. In some cases this is not possible. For those cases we provided feasible workarounds. See svelte-hyperscript for further details.

Some notable differences are:

• Using stores to allow reactivity

  import {render} from '@testing-library/svelte';
  import userEvent from '@testing-library/user-event';
  import {writable, get} from 'svelte/store';
  
  test('write into an input', async () => {
  	const text = writable();
  	const {getByRole} = render(html`<input bind:value=${text} />`);
  
  	const input = getByRole('textbox');
  
  	await userEvent.type(input, 'some text');
  
  	expect(get(text)).toBe('some text');
  });

• Action properties lack the possibility to pass parameters to the action

  import action from 'some-action-module';
  
  html`<div use:action=${node => action(node, parameters)}></div>`;

UPDATED TO SVELTE4

This package is originally written by kenoxa (Sascha Tandel). I edited personally to be using Svelte v4 since non updated was published yet.
