Interaction testing

Stories are useful for verifying the known states of a component. But sometimes you need to test how a component changes in response to user interaction.

Stories are convenient starting points and harnesses for interaction tests using end-to-end tools like Enzyme and Cypress.

Luckily, this is straightforward. Point your interaction testing tool at Storybook’s isolated iframe URL for a specific story then execute the test script as usual. Here’s an example using Cypress:

// My-component_spec.js

describe('My Component', () => {
  it('should respond to click on button with warning', () => {
	cy.visit('http://localhost:6006/iframe.html?id=my-component--basic-story’);
	cy.get('#button').click();
	cy.get('#warning').should('contain.text', 'You need to fill in the form!');
  });
})
