TodoMVC

This repo contains an example React App, with the tests written in Cypress.

Additionally this example app is configured to run tests in Circle CI and Travis CI.

The tests are written to be directly compared to the official TodoMVC tests.

Each test covers the same functionality found in the official TodoMVC tests but utilizes the Cypress API.

The tests are heavily commented to ease you into the Cypress API.

You can find the official TodoMVC tests we are comparing to here. And here. And here.

Cypress IntelliSense

If you use modern IDE that supports TypeScript (like VSCode), you can benefit from Cypress type declarations included with the cypress NPM module. Just add @ts-check to the spec file and configure "dummy" tsconfig.json file and see IntelliSense over cy.<something> commands.

If you find errors in the type documentation, please open an issue
