Testable JavaScript Resources

Testing JavaScript isn't just a thing you can read about in children's fairy tales.

This is just a scratch pad of everything I find. As the really good resources start to float to the top, I'll transition them to a more permanent GitHub repo.

General

• Test-Driven JavaScript Development [book]
• JavaScript Testing Recipes [book]

Hi Nicholas,

I saw you tweet about JSX yesterday. It seemed like the discussion devolved pretty quickly but I wanted to share our experience over the last year. I understand your concerns. I've made similar remarks about JSX. When we started using it Planning Center, I led the charge to write React without it. I don't imagine I'd have much to say that you haven't considered but, if it's helpful, here's a pattern that changed my opinion:

The idea that "React is the V in MVC" is disingenuous. It's a good pitch but, for many of us, it feels like in invitation to repeat our history of coupled views. In practice, React is the V and the C. Dan Abramov describes the division as Smart and Dumb Components. At our office, we call them stateless and container components (view-controllers if we're Flux). The idea is pretty simple: components can't
