# Verifying markup from a component

When a component is rendered in a test, the result is a <xref:Bunit.IRenderedFragment> or a <xref:Bunit.IRenderedComponent`1>. Through these, it is possible to access the rendered markup (HTML) of the component and, in the case of <xref:Bunit.IRenderedComponent`1>, the instance of the component.
Generally, the strategy for verifying markup produced by components depends on whether you are creating reusable component library or a single-use Blazor app component.

> [!NOTE]
> An <xref:Bunit.IRenderedComponent`1> inherits from <xref:Bunit.IRenderedFragment>. This page will only cover features of the <xref:Bunit.IRenderedFragment> type. <xref:Bunit.IRenderedComponent`1> is covered on the <xref:verify-component-state> page.
With a **reusable component library**, the markup produced may be considered part of the externally observable behavior of the component, and that should thus be verified, since users of the component may depend on the markup having a specific structure. Consider using `MarkupMatches` and semantic comparison described below to get the best protection against regressions and good maintainability.

When **building components for a Blazor app**, the externally observable behavior of components are how they visibly look and behave from an end-users point of view, e.g. what the user sees and interact with in a browser. In this scenario, consider use `FindByLabelText` and related methods described below to inspect and assert against individual elements look and feel, for a good balance between protection against regressions and maintainability. Learn more about this testing approach at https://testing-library.com.

This page covers the following **verification approaches:**

- Basic verification of raw markup
- Semantic comparison of markup
- Inspecting the individual DOM nodes in the DOM tree
- Semantic comparison of markup
- Finding expected differences in markup between renders
- Verification of raw markup

The following sections will cover each of these.

## Basic verification of raw markup
## Result of rendering components

To access the rendered markup of a component, just use the <xref:Bunit.IRenderedFragment.Markup> property on <xref:Bunit.IRenderedFragment>. This holds the *raw* HTML from the component as a `string`.
When a component is rendered in a test, the result is a <xref:Bunit.IRenderedFragment> or a <xref:Bunit.IRenderedComponent`1>. Through these, it is possible to access the rendered markup (HTML) of the component and, in the case of <xref:Bunit.IRenderedComponent`1>, the instance of the component.

> [!WARNING]
> Be aware that all indentions and whitespace in your components (`.razor` files) are included in the raw rendered markup, so it is often wise to normalize the markup string a little. For example, via the string `Trim()` method to make the tests more stable. Otherwise, a change to the formatting in your components might break the tests unnecessarily when it does not need to.

To get the markup as a string, do the following:
## Inspecting DOM nodes

[!code-csharp[](../../../samples/tests/xunit/VerifyMarkupExamples.cs?start=16&end=19&highlight=3)]
The rendered markup from a component is available as a DOM node through the <xref:Bunit.IRenderedFragment.Nodes> property on <xref:Bunit.IRenderedFragment>. The nodes and element types comes from [AngleSharp](https://anglesharp.github.io/) that follows the W3C DOM API specifications and gives you the same results as a state-of-the-art browser’s implementation of the DOM API in JavaScript. Besides the official DOM API, AngleSharp and bUnit add some useful extension methods on top. This makes working with DOM nodes convenient.

### Finding DOM elements

bUnit supports multiple different ways of searching and querying the rendered HTML elements:

- `FindByLabelText(string labelText)` that takes a text string used to label an input element and returns an `IElement` as output, or throws an exception if none are found (this is included in the experimental library [bunit.web.query](https://www.nuget.org/packages/bunit.web.query)). Use this method when possible compared to the generic `Find` and `FindAll` methods.
- [`Find(string cssSelector)`](xref:Bunit.RenderedFragmentExtensions.Find(Bunit.IRenderedFragment,System.String)) takes a "CSS selector" as input and returns an `IElement` as output, or throws an exception if none are found.
- [`FindAll(string cssSelector)`](xref:Bunit.RenderedFragmentExtensions.FindAll(Bunit.IRenderedFragment,System.String,System.Boolean)) takes a "CSS selector" as input and returns a list of `IElement` elements.

Let's see some examples of using the [`Find(string cssSelector)`](xref:Bunit.RenderedFragmentExtensions.Find(Bunit.IRenderedFragment,System.String)) and [`FindAll(string cssSelector)`](xref:Bunit.RenderedFragmentExtensions.FindAll(Bunit.IRenderedFragment,System.String,System.Boolean)) methods to query the `<FancyTable>` component listed below.

[!code-razor[FancyTable.razor](../../../samples/components/FancyTable.razor)]

To find the `<caption>` element and the first `<td>` elements in each row, do the following:

[!code-csharp[](../../../samples/tests/xunit/VerifyMarkupExamples.cs?start=54&end=57&highlight=3-4)]

Once you have one or more elements, you verify against them, such as by inspecting their properties through the DOM API. For example:

You can perform standard string assertions against the markup string, like checking whether it contains a value or is empty.
[!code-csharp[](../../../samples/tests/xunit/VerifyMarkupExamples.cs?start=59&end=61)]

#### Auto-refreshing Find() queries

An element found with the [`Find(string cssSelector)`](xref:Bunit.RenderedFragmentExtensions.Find(Bunit.IRenderedFragment,System.String)) method will be updated if the component it came from is re-rendered.

However, that does not apply to elements that are found by traversing the DOM tree via the <xref:Bunit.IRenderedFragment.Nodes> property on <xref:Bunit.IRenderedFragment>, for example, as those nodes do not know when their root component is re-rendered. Consequently, they don’t know when they should be updated.

As a result of this, it is always recommended to use the [`Find(string cssSelector)`](xref:Bunit.RenderedFragmentExtensions.Find(Bunit.IRenderedFragment,System.String)) method when searching for a single element. Alternatively, always reissue the query whenever you need the element.

#### Auto-refreshable FindAll() queries

The [`FindAll(string cssSelector, bool enableAutoRefresh = false)`](xref:Bunit.RenderedFragmentExtensions.FindAll(Bunit.IRenderedFragment,System.String,System.Boolean)) method has an optional parameter, `enableAutoRefresh`, which when set to `true` will return a collection of `IElement`. This automatically refreshes itself when the component the elements came from is re-rendered.

## Inspecting DOM nodes

The rendered markup from a component is available as a DOM node through the <xref:Bunit.IRenderedFragment.Nodes> property on <xref:Bunit.IRenderedFragment>, as well as the `Find(string cssSelector)` and `FindAll(string cssSelector)` extension methods on <xref:Bunit.IRenderedFragment>.

The <xref:Bunit.IRenderedFragment.Nodes> property and the `FindAll()` method return an [AngleSharp](https://anglesharp.github.io/) `INodeList` type, and the `Find()` method returns an [AngleSharp](https://anglesharp.github.io/) `IElement` type.

The DOM API in AngleSharp follows the W3C DOM API specifications and gives you the same results as a state-of-the-art browser’s implementation of the DOM API in JavaScript. Besides the official DOM API, AngleSharp and bUnit add some useful extension methods on top. This makes working with DOM nodes convenient.

### Finding nodes with the Find() and FindAll() methods

Users of the famous JavaScript framework [jQuery](https://jquery.com/) will recognize these two methods:

- [`Find(string cssSelector)`](xref:Bunit.RenderedFragmentExtensions.Find(Bunit.IRenderedFragment,System.String)) takes a "CSS selector" as input and returns an `IElement` as output, or throws an exception if none are found.
- [`FindAll(string cssSelector)`](xref:Bunit.RenderedFragmentExtensions.FindAll(Bunit.IRenderedFragment,System.String,System.Boolean)) takes a "CSS selector" as input and returns a list of `IElement` elements.

Let's see some examples of using the [`Find(string cssSelector)`](xref:Bunit.RenderedFragmentExtensions.Find(Bunit.IRenderedFragment,System.String)) and [`FindAll(string cssSelector)`](xref:Bunit.RenderedFragmentExtensions.FindAll(Bunit.IRenderedFragment,System.String,System.Boolean)) methods to query the `<FancyTable>` component listed below.

This automatically refreshes itself when the component the elements came from is re-rendered.

## Finding expected differences

It can sometimes be easier to verify that an expected change, and only that change, has occurred in the rendered markup than it can be to specify how all the rendered markup should look after re-rendering.
