New rule to report document.dispatchEvent()

[zaicevas]

Name for new rule

no-document-event

Description of the new rule

I see document.dispatchEvent(new Event('my-custom-event')) as anti pattern. In some cases it might require a redundant wrapping in act() because fireEvent does it out of the box.

Testing Library feature

fireEvent

Testing Library framework(s)

All
