react-testing-library

react-testing-library is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from itechmeat/llm-code. It costs 71 tokens per session (2,348 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to testing React components from a user's point of view. React is a JavaScript library for building interfaces; these tests check what people see, find, and do rather than a component's internal code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find buttons and form fields by roles or labels, simulate clicks and typing, and test interfaces that update asynchronously.
Why use it?
It helps tests focus on visible behaviour and accessibility, making them less tied to implementation details that may change.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

react-testing-library scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Installation

Install: npm install --save-dev @testing-library/react @testing-library/dom. Recommended extras: @testing-library/user-event and @testing-library/jest-dom. React 19 requires v16.1.0+.

Core Philosophy

"The more your tests resemble the way your software is used, the more confidence they can give you."

Avoid testing:

  • Internal state of components
  • Internal methods
  • Lifecycle methods
  • Child component implementation details

Test instead:

  • What users see and interact with
  • Behavior from user's perspective
  • Accessibility (queries by role, label)

Query Priority

Use queries in this order of preference:

1. Accessible to Everyone (Preferred)

// Best — by ARIA role
getByRole("button", { name: /submit/i });
getByRole("textbox", { name: /email/i });

// Form fields — by label
getByLabelText("Email");

// Non-interactive content — by text
getByText("Welcome back!");

2. Semantic Queries

// Images
getByAltText("Company logo");

// Title attribute (less reliable)
getByTitle("Close");

3. Test IDs (Escape Hatch)

// Only when other queries don't work
getByTestId("custom-element");

Query Types

Type No Match 1 Match >1 Match Async
getBy... throw return throw No
queryBy... null return throw No
findBy... throw return throw Yes
getAllBy... throw array array No
queryAllBy... [] array array No
findAllBy... throw array array Yes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
