.containsMatchingElement(node) => Boolean

Returns whether or not a given react element is matching one element in the render tree. It will determine if an element in the wrapper looks like the expected element by checking if all props of the expected element are present on the wrappers element and equals to each other.

Arguments

1. node (ReactElement): The node whose presence you are detecting in the current instance's render tree.

Returns

Boolean: whether or not the current wrapper has a node anywhere in its render tree that looks like the one passed in.

Example

const MyComponent = React.createClass({
  handleClick() {
    ...
  },
  render() {
    return (
      <div>
        <div onClick={this.handleClick} className="foo bar">Hello</div>
      </div>
    );
  }
});

const wrapper = mount(<MyComponent />);
expect(wrapper.containsMatchingElement(
  <div>Hello</div>
)).to.equal(true);
expect(wrapper.containsMatchingElement(
  <div className="foo bar">Hello</div>
)).to.equal(true);

Common Gotchas

• .containsMatchingElement() expects a ReactElement, not a selector (like many other methods). Make sure that when you are calling it you are calling it with a ReactElement or a JSX expression.
• Keep in mind that this method determines equality based on the equality of the node's children as well.
