But when it comes to testing, it's easy to overlook how these layers interact with our components. So why is testing state management integration tricky? Well, think about it. Your components behavior depends on the state that lives completely outside of it. You've got to mock that external state, verify your component both reads and updates it correctly, and handles all those async state transitions. But don't worry, we divided the react testing library. We can tackle these challenges heads on. So we are going to learn how to test rare components that depend on context states using Vitest, react testing library, and mocking…
