When running unit tests with Jest in react the window.crypto
API is causing problems. I haven't found a way to incorporate crypto
in Jest without installing other packages which is something I can't do. So without using another npm package is there a way to test functions that use: crypto.getRandomValues()
in them that doesn't crash Jest? Any links, advice, or tips are appreciated
Use the following code to set up the crypto
property globally. It will allow Jest to access
window.crypto
in the browser environmentglobal.crypto
in non-browsers environments. (Node/Typescript scripts).It uses the globalThis
which is now available on most of the latest browsers as well as Node.js 12+
const crypto = require('crypto');
Object.defineProperty(globalThis, 'crypto', {
value: {
getRandomValues: arr => crypto.randomBytes(arr.length)
}
});
