Summary

The blog outlines the process of setting up and testing an Expo Monorepo with Nx, focusing on crafting effective unit tests for Expo components using Jest and addressing common issues encountered during testing. It highlights the benefits of using the React Native Testing Library for writing cleaner unit tests and provides examples of how to use testID for querying elements. The author also shares solutions for common testing errors, such as issues with AsyncStorage, Redux state management, TanStack Query, and navigation in React Native, emphasizing the importance of mocking libraries that are not directly related to the component logic. Additionally, the post discusses adjustments needed in Jest configuration for handling ECMAScript Modules and transforming specific libraries with Babel. The blog concludes by noting that Nx simplifies the setup process, allowing developers to focus on writing tests without needing to install additional testing libraries.
