Native Test Utilities
Two packages provide testing utilities for suite-native. Pick the one that fits your test:
| Need | Package |
|---|
| Component or hook test with no Redux store | @suite-native/test-utils |
| Component or hook test that reads from or dispatches to a Redux store | @suite-native/test-utils-store |
Never import directly from @testing-library/react-native — both packages re-export it.
@suite-native/test-utils
Provides renderWithBasicProvider and renderHookWithBasicProvider, which wrap the component with theme, safe-area,
intl, and formatters providers. Also exports BasicProviderForTests, extraDependenciesNativeMock, and all of
@testing-library/react-native.
BasicProviderForTests is the underlying wrapper component used by both render helpers. Use it directly only when you
need to pass it as a wrapper option to a custom render or hook call — for example, when composing your own render
helper or when the testing-library API requires a wrapper component rather than a pre-rendered tree.
@suite-native/test-utils-store
Extends @suite-native/test-utils with Redux support. Provides renderWithStoreProvider and
renderHookWithStoreProvider — both accept the same options: preloadedState?: Record<string, unknown> or a
pre-built store?: TestStore. Plus store factory helpers:
createStoreFromPreloadedState(preloadedState?) — static (no-op) reducers; use when the test only reads state.createLightStore({ reducer, preloadedState }) — real reducers; use when the test dispatches actions that must mutate
state.createStaticReducer(initialState) — creates a no-op reducer for slices the test does not interact with.mergePreloadedState(base, overrides) — deep-merges a partial overrides into a complete typed base state object
and returns it typed as base. Use this to build the preloadedState arg: start from a fully-constructed state
(e.g. the result of store.getState() on a default store) and override only the slices the test cares about.
