[TDD] Learn Test Driven Development with React Native

Testing is a must-known and valuable skill in software development.

With an ecosystem growing quickly, several similar tools and few courses or lacking knowledge on the field, my journey with testing has not been the easiest one. Now that I took the right choices and practiced for several years, I want to share my expertise so you become able to write tests the right way !

I don't want to merely show you how to write a test but to introduce the different ways to do it, what I think are the right ones and what is used in the workplace, from my experience.

Knowing how to write tests for a React Native application allows you to quickly be able to test a ReactJS application. Moreover, React Native is quite difficult to test, partly because of the use of native dependencies. These are the reasons that pushed me to write this course.

What are we going to build ?

The first step will be to expose some of the knowledge, tools and best practices needed. The course will focus on React Native without Expo, but will refer to the documentation needed to use Expo.

After laying out the necessary knowledge, tools and good practices we are going to build a Weather Application.

Featuring :

• React Native and TypeScript

• Redux & Redux-Saga

• API calls with Axios

• Forms with react-hook-form

• Routing with react-navigation

• Jest and the React Native Testing Library

• Geolocation and OpenWeatherMap API

• Test Driven Development-Style

What this course is not

This won't be a deep-dive into APIs for react-dom/test-utils or jest.

Theorical and unopinionated courses about those already exists. Here you will be presented with:

• A explanation of those tools, which ones you need, and why

• How to put them into practices, in a challenging environment

• How companies use them on a daily basis (with some more complicated cases)

• Where to find more informations (documentation)
