UNSAFE_getByType equivalent method

Ask your Question

There's a way that I can test the same way as the getByType or equivalent? And why this method is called as UNSAFE?
I just need to test the component props and how can I do this without needing to find a children with a test id or a text??
There's any way that I can test only the component props?

If you only want to test props passed to components and you know what you're doing, then using the UNSAFE_ method is totally fine :) We're not planning to remove those.

But why exactly is this method called UNSAFE? Can't find this info in the docs.

Because it makes your test reliant on implementation details (react element type), which can break without observable changes (e.g when wrapping element with forward refs or else)
