Testing Suggestions

VEF does not provide a separate testing-only API surface, but its provider structure is explicit enough that page testing remains straightforward.

Providers Commonly Needed in Tests​

For a page to render correctly, the test environment usually needs at least:

  • AppContextProvider
  • ApiClientProvider
  • theme-related providers
  • RouterProvider when route behavior is part of the test

Practical Suggestions​

  • For presentational components, mount only the minimum provider set.
  • For business pages, mock query and mutation functions first.
  • Avoid replaying the entire login flow in every test.

A Useful Rule​

If a page test requires the whole application shell to run before anything can be asserted, the page is often carrying too much responsibility and may be a good candidate for further splitting.
