I’m working on a project at Twitter that uses React and webpack. After a few conversations with @sokra last year, this is the setup I put in place for testing React components (authored using JSX and ES6) using Karma.

Dependencies

You’ll need to install various packages. It looks like a lot of dependencies, but all the non-Karma packages will be necessary for general module bundling during development.

Full set of required packages:

• babel-core: to transform JSX and transpile ES6.
• babel-loader: webpack loader for Babel.
• karma: the test runner.
• karma-chai-plugins: assertion library (or your library of choice).
• karma-chrome-launcher: Chrome browser launcher.
• karma-cli: CLI tool for Karma.
• karma-mocha: adapter for the Mocha testing framework.
• karma-sourcemap-loader: sourcemap loader.
• karma-webpack: to use webpack with Karma.
• react
• webpack: module bundler

webpack entry file

If you use webpack-specific features in your modules (e.g., loaders, plugins) you will need to use webpack to build a test bundle. The fastest and simplest approach is to create a single, test-specific entry file.

Create a file named tests.bundle.js. Within this file, you create a webpack context to match all the files that conform to a naming pattern – in this case *.spec.js(x).

var context = require.context('.', true, /.+.spec.jsx?$/);
context.keys().forEach(context);
module.exports = context;

Next, you point Karma to this file.

Karma config

Karma is configured using a karma.conf.js file. The browsers, plugins, and frameworks are specified in the standard way.

Point Karma at the tests.bundle.js file, and run it through the relevant preprocessor plugins (see example below).

The karma-webpack plugin relies on 2 custom properties of the Karma config: webpack and webpackMiddleware. The value of the former must be a webpack config object.

module.exports = function (config) {
  config.set({
    browsers: [ 'Chrome' ],
    // karma only needs to know about the test bundle
    files: [
      'tests.bundle.js'
    ],
    frameworks: [ 'chai', 'mocha' ],
    plugins: [
      'karma-chrome-launcher',
      'karma-chai',
      'karma-mocha',
      'karma-sourcemap-loader',
      'karma-webpack',
    ],
    // run the bundle through the webpack and sourcemap plugins
    preprocessors: {
      'tests.bundle.js': [ 'webpack', 'sourcemap' ]
    },
    reporters: [ 'dots' ],
    singleRun: true,
    // webpack config object
    webpack: {
      devtool: 'inline-source-map',
      module: {
        loaders: [
          {
            exclude: /node_modules/,
            loader: 'babel-loader,
            test: /.jsx?$/
          }
        ],
      }
    },
    webpackMiddleware: {
      noInfo: true,
    }
  });
};

Rather than duplicating your webpack config, you can require it in the Karma config file and override the devtool value to get sourcemaps working.

var webpackConfig = require('./webpack.config');
webpackConfig.devtool = 'inline-source-map';

module.exports = function (config) {
  config.set({
    ...
    webpack: webpackConfig
  });
};

That’s all you need to do to configure Karma to use webpack to load your JSX, ES6 React components.

Peter Tasker on creating blocks right now:

It’s fairly straightforward these days to get set up with the WP CLI ‘scaffold’ command. This command will set up a WordPress theme or plugin with a ‘blocks’ folder that contains the PHP and base CSS and JavaScript required to create a custom block. The only drawback that I noticed is that the JavaScript uses the old ES5 syntax rather than modern ESNext. Modern JavaScript allows us to write more concise

WordPress 5.4 was released not so long ago and, along with other improvements and bug fixes, it introduced a feature called Block Variations. I had a chance to use it on one of my recent projects and am so pleasantly surprised with how smart this feature is. I actually think it hasn’t received the attention it deserves, which is why I decided to write this article.
