Keep your tests to the following format:

Given: an initial test state
When: an action happens
Then: assert against the result

If your test doesn't have that middle step then you aren't testing any behaviour, consider deleting the test.

(+ pass an array of properties to define which columns to show)

Did you know this is valid?

const [count, setCount] = React.useState(() => 0)
// count is 0

If not, and you're wondering why you'd ever want to pass a function to useState, then you haven't watched https://t.co/5bXXFhyXnz yet 😉

[Sibelius Seraphini @sseraphini]

what to test?
- everything that involves calculation
- everything that has already broken
- every state machine needs tests
- to ensure that something works like you think it works
- everything that you are afraid to break

[GitHub @github]

Why reinvent the wheel?

With GitHub repository templates you can easily reuse code across all your projects.
