Testing a modal presented from a trigger

This example shows how to test a modal that is presented from a trigger. The modal is presented when the user clicks a button.

Example component

src/Example.tsx
import { IonButton, IonModal } from '@ionic/react';

export default function Example() {
return (
<>
<IonButton id="open-modal">Open</IonButton>
<IonModal trigger="open-modal">Modal content</IonModal>
</>
);
}

Testing the modal

src/Example.test.tsx
import { fireEvent, render, screen, waitFor } from '@testing-library/react';

import Example from './Example';

test('button presents a modal when clicked', async () => {
render(<Example />);
// Simulate a click on the button
fireEvent.click(screen.getByText('Open'));
// Wait for the modal to be presented
await waitFor(() => {
// Assert that the modal is present
expect(screen.getByText('Modal content')).toBeInTheDocument();
});
});

Testing a modal presented from useIonModal

This example shows how to test a modal that is presented using the useIonModal hook. The modal is presented when the user clicks a button.

Example component

src/Example.tsx
import { IonContent, useIonModal, IonHeader, IonToolbar, IonTitle, IonButton, IonPage } from '@ionic/react';

export const ModalContent: React.FC = () => {
return (
<IonContent>
<div>Modal Content</div>
</IonContent>
);
};

const Example: React.FC = () => {
const [present] = useIonModal(ModalContent);
return (
<IonPage>
<IonHeader>
<IonToolbar>
<IonTitle>Blank</IonTitle>
</IonToolbar>
</IonHeader>
<IonContent fullscreen>
<IonButton expand="block" className="ion-margin" onClick={() => present()}>
Open
</IonButton>
</IonContent>
</IonPage>
);
};

export default Example;

Testing the modal

src/Example.test.tsx
import { fireEvent, render, screen } from '@testing-library/react';

import Example, { ModalContent } from './Example';

const mockPresent = jest.fn();
const mockUseIonModal = jest.fn();

jest.mock('@ionic/react', () => {
const rest = jest.requireActual('@ionic/react');
return {
...rest,
useIonModal: (component: any) => {
mockUseIonModal(component);
return [mockPresent];
},
};
});

test('should present ModalContent when button is clicked', () => {
render(<Example />);

fireEvent.click(screen.getByText('Open'));

expect(mockUseIonModal).toHaveBeenCalledWith(ModalContent);
expect(mockPresent).toHaveBeenCalled();
});
