Overview

The Livewire Plugin for Pest provides additional functions for testing your Livewire components.

Source code: github.com/pestphp/pest-plugin-livewire

Installation

Install the Livewire Plugin via the Composer package manager:

composer require pestphp/pest-plugin-livewire --dev

Available functions

livewire()

You may use the livewire function to test your Livewire components:

use function Pest\Livewire\livewire;

it('can be incremented', function () {
    livewire(Counter::class)
        ->call('increment')
        ->assertSee(1);

    // Same as:
    $this->livewire(Counter::class)
        ->call('increment')
        ->assertSee(1);
});

it('can be decremented', function () {
    livewire(Counter::class)
        ->call('decrement')
        ->assertSee(-1);

    // Same as:
    $this->livewire(Counter::class)
        ->call('decrement')
        ->assertSee(-1);
});

Of course, the method livewire() can be equally used in your higher order tests:

it('can be incremented')
    ->livewire(Counter::class)
    ->call('increment')
    ->assertSee(1);

it('can be decremented')
    ->livewire(Counter::class)
    ->call('decrement')
    ->assertSee(-1);

Finally, for the full list of available Livewire methods, please refer to the Livewire documentation.
