Reagent
Reagent is a JavaScript Testing utility for React that makes it easier to assert, manipulate,
and traverse your React Components' output.
Reagent's API is meant to be intuitive and flexible by mimicking jQuery's API for DOM manipulation
and traversal.
Reagent is unopinionated regarding which test runner or assertion library you use, and should be
compatible with all major test runners and assertion libraries out there. The documentation and
examples for reagent use mocha and chai, but you
should be able to extrapolate to your framework of choice.
Installation
To get started with reagent, you can simply install it with npm:
npm i --save-dev reagentReagent is currently compatible with both React 0.14.x and React 0.13.x. In order to achieve
this compatibility, some dependencies cannot be explicitly listed in our package.json.
If you are using React 0.14, in addition to reagent, you will have to ensure that you also
have the following npm modules installed if they were not already:
npm i --save-dev react-addons-test-utils
npm i --save-dev react-domBasic Usage
