Options for mount and shallowMount.
:::tip
Aside from the options documented below, the options object can contain any option that would be valid in a call to new Vue ({ /*options here*/ }).
These options will be merged with the component's existing options when mounted with mount / shallowMount

- type:
Object
Passes context to functional component. Can only be used with functional components.
Example:
import Foo from './Foo.vue'
import Bar from './Bar.vue'
const wrapper = mount(Component, {
context: {
props: { show: true },
children: [Foo, Bar]
}
})
expect(wrapper.is(Component)).toBe(true)- type:
Function
Passes data to a component. It will merge with the existing data function.
Example:
const Component = {
template: `
<div>
<span id="foo">{{ foo }}</span>
<span id="bar">{{ bar }}</span>
</div>
`,
data() {
return {
foo: 'foo',
bar: 'bar'
}
}
}
const wrapper = mount(Component, {
data() {
return {
bar: 'my-override'
}
}
})
wrapper.find('#foo').text() // 'foo'
wrapper.find('#bar').text() // 'my-override'- type:
{ [name: string]: Array<Component>|Component|string }
Provide an object of slot contents to the component. The key corresponds to the slot name. The value can be either a component, an array of components, or a template string, or text.
Example:
import Foo from './Foo.vue'
import MyComponent from './MyComponent.vue'
const bazComponent = {
name: 'baz-component',
template: '<p>baz</p>'
}
const yourComponent = {
props: {
foo: {
type: String,
required: true
}
},
render(h) {
return h('p', this.foo)
}
}
const wrapper = shallowMount(Component, {
slots: {
default: [Foo, '<my-component />', 'text'],
fooBar: Foo, // Will match `<slot name="FooBar" />`.
foo: '<div />',
bar: 'bar',
baz: bazComponent,
qux: '<my-component />',
quux: '<your-component foo="lorem"/><your-component :foo="yourProperty"/>'
},
stubs: {
// used to register custom components
'my-component': MyComponent,
'your-component': yourComponent
},
mocks: {
// used to add properties to the rendering context
yourProperty: 'ipsum'
}
})
expect(wrapper.find('div')).toBe(true)- type:
{ [name: string]: string|Function }
Provide an object of scoped slots to the component. The key corresponds to the slot name.
You can set the name of the props using the slot-scope attribute:
shallowMount(Component, {
scopedSlots: {
foo: '<p slot-scope="foo">{{foo.index}},{{foo.text}}</p>'
}
})Otherwise props are available as a props object when the slot is evaluated:
shallowMount(Component, {
scopedSlots: {
default: '<p>{{props.index}},{{props.text}}</p>'
}
})You can also pass a function that takes the props as an argument:
shallowMount(Component, {
scopedSlots: {
foo: function(props) {
return this.$createElement('div', props.index)
}
}
})Or you can use JSX. If you write JSX in a method, this.$createElement is auto-injected by babel-plugin-transform-vue-jsx:
shallowMount(Component, {
scopedSlots: {
foo(props) {
return <div>{props.text}</div>
}
}
})::: warning Root Element required Due to the internal implementation of this feature, the slot content has to return a root element, even though a scoped slot is allowed to return an array of elements.
If you ever need this in a test, the recommended workaround is to wrap the component under test in another component and mount that one: :::
const WrapperComp = {
template: `
<ComponentUnderTest v-slot="props">
<p>Using the {{props.a}}</p>
<p>Using the {{props.a}}</p>
</ComponentUnderTest>
`,
components: {
ComponentUnderTest
}
}
const wrapper = mount(WrapperComp).find(ComponentUnderTest)- type:
{ [name: string]: Component | string | boolean } | Array<string>
Stubs child components can be an Array of component names to stub, or an object. If stubs is an Array, every stub is <${component name}-stub>.
Deprecation Notice:
When stubbing components, supplying a string (ComponentToStub: '<div class="stubbed" />) is no longer supported.
Example:
import Foo from './Foo.vue'
mount(Component, {
stubs: ['registered-component']
})
shallowMount(Component, {
stubs: {
// stub with a specific implementation
'registered-component': Foo,
// create default stub.
// the component name of default stub is another-component in this case.
// the default stub is <${the component name of default stub}-stub>.
'another-component': true
}
})- type:
Object
Add additional properties to the instance. Useful for mocking global injections.
Example:
const $route = { path: 'http://www.example-path.com' }
const wrapper = shallowMount(Component, {
mocks: {
$route
}
})
expect(wrapper.vm.$route.path).toBe($route.path)::: tip
To mock $root please use parentComponent option instead as described here
:::
- type:
Vue
A local copy of Vue created by createLocalVue to use when mounting the component. Installing plugins on this copy of Vue prevents polluting the original Vue copy.
Example:
import { createLocalVue, mount } from '@vue/test-utils'
import VueRouter from 'vue-router'
import Foo from './Foo.vue'
const localVue = createLocalVue()
localVue.use(VueRouter)
const routes = [{ path: '/foo', component: Foo }]
const router = new VueRouter({
routes
})
const wrapper = mount(Component, {
localVue,
router
})
expect(wrapper.vm.$route).toBeInstanceOf(Object)- type:
HTMLElement | string - default:
null
This either specifies a specific HTMLElement or CSS selector string targeting an HTMLElement, to which your component will be fully mounted in the document.
When attaching to the DOM, you should call wrapper.destroy() at the end of your test to
remove the rendered elements from the document and destroy the component instance.
const Component = {
template: '<div>ABC</div>',
props: ['msg']
}
let wrapper = mount(Component, {
attachTo: '#root'
})
expect(wrapper.vm.$el.parentNode).to.not.be.null
wrapper.destroy()
wrapper = mount(Component, {
attachTo: document.getElementById('root')
})
expect(wrapper.vm.$el.parentNode).to.not.be.null
wrapper.destroy()- type:
boolean - default:
false
Like attachTo, but automatically creates a new div element for you and inserts it into the body. This is deprecated in favor of attachTo.
When attaching to the DOM, you should call wrapper.destroy() at the end of your test to
remove the rendered elements from the document and destroy the component instance.
- type:
Object
Set the component instance's $attrs object.
- type:
Object
Set the component instance's props when the component is mounted.
Example:
const Component = {
template: '<div>{{ msg }}</div>',
props: ['msg']
}
const wrapper = mount(Component, {
propsData: {
msg: 'aBC'
}
})
expect(wrapper.text()).toBe('aBC')::: tip
It's worth noting that propsData is actually a Vue API, not a
Vue Test Utils mounting option. It is processed through extends.
Please see Other options.
:::
- type:
Object
Set the component instance's $listeners object.
Example:
const Component = {
template: '<button v-on:click="$emit(\'click\')"></button>'
}
const onClick = jest.fn()
const wrapper = mount(Component, {
listeners: {
click: onClick
}
})
wrapper.trigger('click')
expect(onClick).toHaveBeenCalled()- type:
Object
Component to use as parent for mounted component.
Example:
import Foo from './Foo.vue'
const wrapper = shallowMount(Component, {
parentComponent: Foo
})
expect(wrapper.vm.$parent.$options.name).toBe('foo')- type:
Object
Pass properties for components to use in injection. See provide/inject.
Example:
const Component = {
inject: ['foo'],
template: '<div>{{this.foo()}}</div>'
}
const wrapper = shallowMount(Component, {
provide: {
foo() {
return 'fooValue'
}
}
})
expect(wrapper.text()).toBe('fooValue')When the options for mount and shallowMount contain the options other than the mounting options, the component options are overwritten with those using extends.
const Component = {
template: '<div>{{ foo() }}{{ bar() }}{{ baz() }}</div>',
methods: {
foo() {
return 'a'
},
bar() {
return 'b'
}
}
}
const options = {
methods: {
bar() {
return 'B'
},
baz() {
return 'C'
}
}
}
const wrapper = mount(Component, options)
expect(wrapper.text()).toBe('aBC')
