How to test axios in Jest?
To test axios in Jest, we can mock the axios dependency.
For instance, we write
import * as axios from "axios";
jest.mock("axios");
// ...
test("good response", () => {
axios.get.mockImplementation(() => Promise.resolve({
data: {
//...
}
}));
// ...
});
test("bad response", () => {
axios.get.mockImplementation(() => Promise.reject({
...
}));
// ...
});
to call axios.get.mockImplementation to mock the implementation of the axios.get method with a function that returns a promise, which we passed in as the argument of mockImplementation.
We also called jest.mock("axios"); to mock the whole axios module.
