Introduction to Test-Driven Development with Next.js

Overview

This repository serves as an introductory guide to implementing Test-Driven Development (TDD) within the Next.js framework. Although the project presented here is relatively modest in scope, it aims to provide a solid foundation for understanding and applying TDD principles in Next.js development projects.

Purpose of This Repository :

• See LEARN.md for the purpose and learning objectives of this repository.

Technology Stack

The project leverages a combination of technologies and tools integral to modern web development, specifically within the React ecosystem. These include:

• Next.js: A React framework that enables functionalities such as server-side rendering and generating static websites for React-based web applications.
• Jest: A delightful JavaScript Testing Framework with a focus on simplicity, used for writing unit and integration tests.
• React Testing Library: A set of helpers that allow you to test React components without relying on their implementation details, promoting better testing practices.
• Cypress: An end-to-end testing framework designed to provide a robust testing environment for web applications, ensuring that they work as expected in a real browser.
• Yarn: A fast, reliable, and secure dependency management tool.

Current Limitations

• Dynamic Import Issue: There is a known issue with the yarn command related to dynamic imports (Yarn Issue #8994). This problem can cause dynamic imports to fail during execution. A temporary workaround involves removing the yarn.lock file and reinstalling the packages to resolve the issue.
