vuejs and unit tests

Was getting a lot of issues doing unit tests getting errors around vuejs trying to pull in the router and other components. Discovered vue-test-utils which greatly simplifies a lot of the mocking https://vue-test-utils.vuejs.org/en/

You simply your components as follows

    const wrapper = mount(Companies)

You can print the html like so

    console.log(wrapper.html())

and expect like so

    expect(wrapper.html()).toContain('<div><h1>HOME</h1> <p>Welcome to Your Vue.js App</p></div>')

it also has some handy utils that simplify click events

    wrapper.find('#addcompany').trigger('click')

Router params can be mocked like so

    const $route = {
        params: { providerid: '1' },
    }

    const wrapper = mount(Benefits, {
        mocks: {$route}
    })

This library has been instrumental in getting my vuejs unit tests working
