How do I pass props a component rendered with Enzyme.js?

I have a SongLink component that looks like this: 

import React from 'react'

const SongLink = props => (
  <ul className='search-results__ul'
      key={props.result.id} 
      onClick={props.handleClick} 
  >
    {props.result.name} by {props.result.artist}
  </ul>
)

export default SongLink

I am trying to write a Jest test to test this component. My first attempt looked like this:

import React from 'react'
import { shallow } from 'enzyme'
import { configure } from 'enzyme'
import Adapter from 'enzyme-adapter-react-15'

import SongLink from '../components/SongLink'

configure({ adapter: new Adapter() })

test('it renders correctly', () => { 
  const component = shallow(<SongLink />)
  let tree = component.toJSON()
  expect(tree).toMatchSnapshot()
})

I got this error: TypeError: Cannot read property 'id' of undefined which I understood probably meant I was not correctly passing props in to my test.

Then, I tried this, the goal of which was to mock what I thought a prop would look like: 

import React from 'react'
import { shallow } from 'enzyme'
import { configure } from 'enzyme'
import Adapter from 'enzyme-adapter-react-15'

import SongLink from '../components/SongLink'

configure({ adapter: new Adapter() })   

test('it renders correctly', () => {

  // This is where I tried to imitate the props and pass them in. 

  const songLinkProps = {
    result: {
      id: '6rPO02ozF3bM7NnOV4h6s2'
    },
    handleClick: () => {
      console.log('click')
    }
  }

  const component = shallow(<SongLink key={songLinkProps.result.id} />)
  let tree = component.toJSON()
  expect(tree).toMatchSnapshot()
})

When I run the above code, I get the same error as before.

I would deeply appreciate any advice on what I'm doing wrong, or what I do not understand here. Thank you!

Edit: It has been suggested that this question is a duplicate of this other question: Getting started testing React components with Enzyme and Jest.

I don't think this is a duplicate. I know that I want to test my component using Jest and Enzyme. I just was having trouble with the syntax I needed to actually mock the props I need for my tests to work. The suggested duplicate is more abstract and conceptual. My question is about granular execution of those concepts.

The SongLink component that you are testing just requires an object that contains the following properties

  • props.result.id
  • props.handleClick
  • props.result.name
  • props.result.artist

You need to pass it when you shallow render the component you need to test. You can do it like

const songLinkProps = {
    result: {
      id: '6rPO02ozF3bM7NnOV4h6s2',
      name: 'sf',
      artist: 'sgs'
    },
    handleClick: () => {
      console.log('click')
    }
  }

  const component = shallow(<SongLink {...songLinkProps} />)
