#Overview

The Livewire Plugin for Pest provides additional functions for testing your Livewire components.

Source code: github.com/pestphp/pest-plugin-livewire

#Installation

Install the Livewire Plugin via the Composer package manager:

1composer require pestphp/pest-plugin-livewire --dev

#Available functions

#livewire()

You may use the livewire function to test your Livewire components:

 1use function Pest\Livewire\livewire;
 2 
 3it('can be incremented', function () {
 4    livewire(Counter::class)
 5        ->call('increment')
 6        ->assertSee(1);
 7 
 8    // Same as:
 9    $this->livewire(Counter::class)
10        ->call('increment')
11        ->assertSee(1);
12});
13 
14it('can be decremented', function () {
15    livewire(Counter::class)
16        ->call('decrement')
17        ->assertSee(-1);
18 
19    // Same as:
20    $this->livewire(Counter::class)
21        ->call('decrement')
22        ->assertSee(-1);
23});

Of course, the method livewire() can be equally used in your higher order tests:

1it('can be incremented')
2    ->livewire(Counter::class)
3    ->call('increment')
4    ->assertSee(1);
5 
6it('can be decremented')
7    ->livewire(Counter::class)
8    ->call('decrement')
9    ->assertSee(-1);

Finally, for the full list of available Livewire methods, please refer to the Livewire documentation.
