dom-sandbox

super-simple dom sandboxing for tests

Why?

Often times during front-end testing you want to insert some HTML into the DOM or have a dummy element to render things into. This gives you a super-simple way to do that while also preventing you from:

• stomping on things that something like testling might need in the DOM
• creating tons of elements and forgetting to tear them down
• writing this boilerplate, albeit minimal

How?

var dom = require('dom-sandbox')
 
var testWidget = require('../widget/to/test')
 
dom('<div id="test-div"><span rel="something-necessary"></span></div>')
 
testWidget(document.getElementById('test-div'))

or

var dom = require('dom-sandbox')
 
var testWidget = require('../something/else')
 
testWidget(dom()) // pass the element directly

Notes

• Also provides a .destroy() method that removes the generated element from the DOM.
