+# Testing React components
+
+## Setting up Babel
+
+The first thing you need to do is to set up `babel` to transpile JSX code from the tests by adding an AVA section to your `package.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "ava": {
+    "require": ["babel-register"]
+  },
+  "babel": {
+    "presets": ["react"]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+You can find more information about setting up `babel` with AVA in the [babelrc recipe](https://github.com/sindresorhus/ava/blob/master/docs/recipes/babelrc.md).
+
+## Using [Enzyme](https://github.com/airbnb/enzyme)
+
+Let's first see how to use AVA with one of the most popular React testing libraries: [Enzyme](https://github.com/airbnb/enzyme).
+
+If you only plan to use [shallow component rendering](https://facebook.github.io/react/docs/test-utils.html#shallow-rendering), you don't need any extra setup.
+
+First install [Enzyme required packages](https://github.com/airbnb/enzyme/#installation):
+
+```console
+$ npm install --save-dev enzyme react-addons-test-utils react-dom
+```
+
+And you can use Enzyme straight away:
+
+```js
+import test from 'ava';
+import React from 'react';
+import {shallow} from 'enzyme';
+
+const Foo = ({children}) =>
+	<div className="Foo">
+		<span className="bar">bar</span>
+		{children}
+		<span className="bar">bar</span>
+	</div>;
+
+Foo.propTypes = {
+	children: React.PropTypes.any
+};
+
+test('has a .Foo class name', t => {
+	const wrapper = shallow(<Foo/>);
+	t.true(wrapper.hasClass('Foo'));
+});
+
+test('renders two `.Bar`', t => {
+	const wrapper = shallow(<Foo/>);
+	t.is(wrapper.find('.bar').length, 2);
+});
+
+test('renders children when passed in', t => {
+	const wrapper = shallow(
+		<Foo>
+			<div className="unique"/>
+		</Foo>
+	);
+	t.true(wrapper.contains(<div className="unique"/>));
+});
+```
+
+Enzyme also has a `mount` and `render` helper to test in an actual browser environment. If you want to use these helpers, you will have to setup a browser environment. Check out the [browser testing recipe](https://github.com/sindresorhus/ava/blob/master/docs/recipes/browser-testing.md) on how to do so.
+
+To see an example of AVA working together with Enzyme, set up for browser testing, have a look at [this sample project](https://github.com/adriantoine/ava-enzyme-demo).
+
+This is a basic example about how to integrate Enzyme with AVA. For more information about using Enzyme for unit testing React component, have a look at [Enzyme's documentation](http://airbnb.io/enzyme/).
+
+## Using JSX helpers
+
+Another approach to testing React component is to use the [`react-element-to-jsx-string`](https://github.com/algolia/react-element-to-jsx-string) package to compare DOM trees as strings. [`jsx-test-helpers`](https://github.com/MoOx/jsx-test-helpers) is a nice library handling [shallow component rendering](https://facebook.github.io/react/docs/test-utils.html#shallow-rendering) and converting JSX to string in order to test React components using AVA assertions.
+
+```console
+$ npm install --save-dev jsx-test-helpers
+```
+
+Usage example:
+
+```js
+import test from 'ava';
+import React from 'react';
+import {renderJSX, JSX} from 'jsx-test-helpers';
+
+const Foo = ({children}) =>
+	<div className="Foo">
+		<span className="bar">bar</span>
+		{children}
+		<span className="bar">bar</span>
+	</div>;
+
+Foo.propTypes = {
+	children: React.PropTypes.any
+};
+
+test('renders correct markup', t => {
+	const actual = renderJSX(<Foo/>);
+	const expected = JSX(
+		<div className="Foo">
+			<span className="bar">bar</span>
+			<span className="bar">bar</span>
+		</div>
+	);
+	t.is(actual, expected);
+});
+
+test('renders children when passed in', t => {
+	const actual = renderJSX(
+		<Foo>
+			<div className="unique"/>
+		</Foo>
+	);
+	const expected = JSX(
+		<div className="Foo">
+			<span className="bar">bar</span>
+			<div className="unique"/>
+			<span className="bar">bar</span>
+		</div>
+	);
+	t.is(actual, expected);
+});
+```
+
+Note that you have to use variables like `actual` and `expected` because [`power-assert` doesn't handle JSX correctly](https://github.com/power-assert-js/power-assert/issues/34).
+
+This is a basic example about how to use `jsx-test-helpers` with AVA. To see a more advanced usage of this library, have a look at [this annotated test file](https://github.com/MoOx/jsx-test-helpers/blob/master/src/__tests__/index.js).
+
+[This sample project](https://github.com/MoOx/jsx-test-helpers) shows a basic and minimal setup of AVA with `jsx-test-helpers`.
+
+## Using other assertion libraries
+
+In AVA, you can use any assertion library and there is already a few out there allowing to test React components. Here is a list of assertion libraries working well with AVA:
+- [`expect-jsx`](https://github.com/algolia/expect-jsx) ([Example](https://github.com/sindresorhus/ava/issues/186#issuecomment-161317068))
+- [`unexpected-react`](https://github.com/bruderstein/unexpected-react) ([Sample project with an output example](https://github.com/adriantoine/ava-unexpected-react-demo))
