Laravel Mojito is a lightweight package for testing Laravel views in isolation. Here’s an example of basic usage from the readme:

class WelcomeTest extends TestCase
{
// First, add the `InteractsWithViews` trait to your test case class.
use InteractsWithViews;
 
public function testDisplaysLaravel()
{
// Then, get started with Mojito using the `assertView` method.
$this->assertView('welcome')->contains('Laravel');
}
}

You can also use this package in HTTP tests:

$response = $this->get('/');
 
$response->assertStatus(200);
 
$response->assertView()->contains('Laravel');

The API includes the following features at the time of writing:

  • contains() – assert the view has the given text
  • has() – assert the view has the given selector
  • hasAttribute() – assert an element has the given attribute value
  • hasClass() – assert the view has an element with the given class
  • hasLink() – assert the view has an element with the given link

Here’s some more examples of the package methods:

// contains
$this->assertView('button')->contains('Click me');
 
// has
$this->assertView('welcome')->in('body')->has('.content')
 
// hasAttribute
$this->assertView('button')->hasAttribute('attribute', 'value');
 
// hasClass
$this->assertView('button')->hasClass('btn');
 
// hasLink
$this->assertView('button')->hasLink(route('welcome'));
