How to mock or replace getter function of object with Jest and JavaScript?
To mock or replace getter function of object with Jest and JavaScript, we can call the spyOn method.
For instance, we write
class MyClass {
get something() {
return "foo";
}
}
jest.spyOn(MyClass, "something", "get").mockReturnValue("bar");
const something = new MyClass().something;
to call jest.spyOn with MyClass, "something", and 'get' to mock the something getter in MyClass.
We call mockReturnValue to return 'bar' as the value of something.
Then we check if something is 'bar' with
expect(something).toEqual("bar");
Conclusion
