How to stub a class method inside a function under test using sinon?

   //Some utility 
   import SomeClass from 'someclass';

   const LoadService = {

     getData(){
     const someClassInstance = new SomeClass('param1', 'param2');
     return someClassInstance.load('param33')
     },

   };

  module.exports =LoadService;

The intend is to test LoadService by mocking SomeClass as SomeClass is already tested. I'm using sinon 2.1.0.

I want to check getData method of LoadService. Is it possible to mock load class method of SomeClass.

Any help is appreciated.

First you have to mock the someClass module so it will return a jest spy and import this module into your test.

import SomeClass from 'someClass'
jest.mock('someclass', ()=>jest.fn())

then you need to create the spy for the load function and for the module itself. 

const load = jest.fn()
SomeClass.mockImplementation(jest.fn(()=>({load})))

after calling the LoadService you can check that the module itself and the load function were called

expect(someClassMock).toHaveBeenCalledWith('param1', 'param2')
expect(load).toHaveBeenCalledWith('param33')

So after all there is no need to use Sinon everything can be done using Jest
