开玩笑地模拟 window.sessionStorage 的最佳方法是什么

Question

Below is a very simple jest unit test and when running it, you will get error like

Cannot spyOn on a primitive value; undefined given

TypeError: Cannot read property 'getItem' of undefined

but according to the last two comments of this post , localStorage and sessionStorage were already added to latest JSDOM and jest. If using jest-localstorage-mock and add it to my jest setupFiles then you will see weird error like

TypeError: object[methodName].mockImplementation is not a function

So my question is what's the best way to mock localStorage/sessionStorage in jest. Thanks

describe('window.sessionStorage', () => {
    let mockSessionStorage;
    beforeEach(() => {
        mockSessionStorage = {};
        jest.spyOn(window.sessionStorage, "getItem").mockImplementation(key => {
            return mockSessionStorage[key];
        });
    });

    describe('getItem-', () => {
        beforeEach(() => {
            mockSessionStorage = {
                foo: 'bar',
            }
        });

        it('gets string item', () => {
            const ret = window.sessionStorage.getItem('foo');
            expect(ret).toBe('bar');
        });
    });
});

Below is my jest config

module.exports = {
    verbose: true,
    //setupFiles: ["jest-localstorage-mock"],
    testURL: "http://localhost/"
};

Here is the solution only use jestjs and typescript , nothing more.

index.ts :

export function getUserInfo() {
  const userInfo = window.sessionStorage.getItem('userInfo');
  if (userInfo) {
    return JSON.parse(userInfo);
  }
  return {};
}

index.spec.ts :

import { getUserInfo } from './';

const localStorageMock = (() => {
  let store = {};

  return {
    getItem(key) {
      return store[key] || null;
    },
    setItem(key, value) {
      store[key] = value.toString();
    },
    removeItem(key) {
      delete store[key];
    },
    clear() {
      store = {};
    }
  };
})();

Object.defineProperty(window, 'sessionStorage', {
  value: localStorageMock
});

describe('getUserInfo', () => {
  beforeEach(() => {
    window.sessionStorage.clear();
    jest.restoreAllMocks();
  });
  it('should get user info from session storage', () => {
    const getItemSpy = jest.spyOn(window.sessionStorage, 'getItem');
    window.sessionStorage.setItem('userInfo', JSON.stringify({ userId: 1, userEmail: 'example@gmail.com' }));
    const actualValue = getUserInfo();
    expect(actualValue).toEqual({ userId: 1, userEmail: 'example@gmail.com' });
    expect(getItemSpy).toBeCalledWith('userInfo');
  });

  it('should get empty object if no user info in session storage', () => {
    const getItemSpy = jest.spyOn(window.sessionStorage, 'getItem');
    const actualValue = getUserInfo();
    expect(actualValue).toEqual({});
    expect(window.sessionStorage.getItem).toBeCalledWith('userInfo');
    expect(getItemSpy).toBeCalledWith('userInfo');
  });
});

You probably do not even need a mock. Just use window.sessionStorage as usual and write your condition based on window.sessionStorage.getItem(...) result instead of spying window.sessionStorage.setItem . Simply don't forget to call window.sessionStorage.clear() in beforeEach as demonstrated.

This works for me along with adding object:

defineProperty(window, 'sessionStorage', {
   writable: true,
   configurable: true,
   value: localStorageMock
}
