element-block-utils

What are the utils?

joinClasses

This util is provided as an alternative to using the joinClasses prop passed to blocks by the SDK on some block contracts. Read more about what this helper does and why you should use it here. It can be imported from @volusion/element-block-utils.

Usage at the block level.

import React from 'react';
import { joinClasses } from '@volusion/element-block-utils';
import { css, StyleSheet } from 'aphrodite';
import { getStyles } from './getStyles';

export const YourBlock = props => {
    const styles = StyleSheet.create(getStyles(props));
    return (
        <div className={joinClasses('w-100 center', css(styles.wrapper))}>
            {/* Your content */}
        </div>
    );
};

If your block is using the joinClasses prop provided by the SDK, you can simplify your imports into your test files by importing it from @volusion/element-block-utils/test-utils. If your block is importing joinClasses, you do not need to add it to your tests.

import React from 'react';
import { joinClasses } from '@volusion/element-block-utils/test-utils';

let props;
describe('The block', () => {
    beforeEach(() => {
        props = {
            joinClasses
        };
    });
    it('should match the snapshot', () => {
        const wrapper = mount(<Block {...props} />);
        expect(wrapper.render()).toMatchSnapshot();
    });
});

mockUtils

This util provides a full jest mock of the SDK utils that are passed to your block as the util prop. It can be imported from @volusion/element-block-utils/test-utils;

Usage example:

import React from 'react';
import { mockUtils as utils } from '@volusion/element-block-utils/test-utils';

let props;
describe('The block', () => {
    beforeEach(() => {
        props = {
            utils
        };
    });
    it('should match the snapshot', () => {
        const wrapper = mount(<Block {...props} />);
        expect(wrapper.render()).toMatchSnapshot();
    });
});

Deprecated utils

The following utils have been deprecated and should no longer be used. They are only provided here as a knowledge resource for blocks built on older contracts.

createFactory

This util wraps old blocks in a React factory function required by older block contracts.
