## Note
Please take a look at a few other Cypress snapshot plugins: [cypress-plugin-snapshots](https://github.com/meinaart/cypress-plugin-snapshots), [cypress-image-snapshot](https://github.com/palmerhq/cypress-image-snapshot).

## Install
Requires [Node](https://nodejs.org/en/) version 6 or above.
Requires [Node](https://nodejs.org/en/) version 10 or above.
```sh
npm install --save-dev @cypress/snapshot
```
## Use
## Import
After installing, add the following to your `cypress/support/commands.js` file
```js
require('@cypress/snapshot').register()
require("@cypress/snapshot").register();
```
This registers a new command to create new snapshot or compare value to old snapshot
```js
describe('my tests', () => {
it('works', () => {
cy.log('first snapshot')
cy.wrap({ foo: 42 }).snapshot()
cy.log('second snapshot')
cy.wrap({ bar: 101 }).snapshot()
})
})
and add the following to your `cypress.config.js`
describe('focused input field', () => {
it('is empty and then typed into', () => {
cy.visit('http://todomvc.com/examples/react/')
cy
.focused()
.snapshot('initial')
.type('eat healthy breakfast')
.snapshot('after typing')
})
})
```js
e2e: {
setupNodeEvents(on, config) {
require("@cypress/snapshot").tasks(on, config)
},
```
By default, the snapshot object can be found in file `snapshots.js`. In the above case it would look something like this
**Note:** `@cypress/snapshot` **requires** the `readFileMaybe` plugin to be included, which can be easily done using the code above
# Usage
Currently, if you want to take more than one snapshot, you need to pass a Step Name to prevent overwrites / test failures
```js
module.exports = {
"focused input field": {
"is empty and then typed into": {
"initial": {
"tagName": "input",
"attributes": {
"class": "new-todo",
"placeholder": "What needs to be done?",
"value": ""
}
},
"after typing": {
"tagName": "input",
"attributes": {
"class": "new-todo",
"placeholder": "What needs to be done?",
"value": "eat healthy breakfast"
}
}
}
},
"my tests": {
"works": {
"1": {
"foo": 42
},
"2": {
"bar": 101
}
}
}
}
describe("my tests", () => {
it("works", () => {
cy.log("first snapshot");
cy.wrap({ foo: 42 }).snapshot("foo");
cy.log("second snapshot");
cy.wrap({ bar: 101 }).snapshot("bar");
});
});
```
In the above case, you can find the stored snapshot in their own files, mentioned above them
```json
// cypress/snapshots/my-tests-works-foo.json
{"foo": 42}
// cypress/snapshots/my-tests-works-bar.json
{"bar": 101}
```
If you change the site values, the saved snapshot will no longer match, throwing an error
![Snapshot mismatch](.github/assets/snapshot-mismatch.png)
( picture taken from `cypress/snapshots/Arrays.json`)

Click on the `SNAPSHOT` step in the Command Log to see expected and current value printed in the DevTools.
@ -101,45 +81,61 @@ You can control snapshot comparison and behavior through a few options.
```js
cy.get(...).snapshot({
name: 'human snapshot name', // to use in the snapshot file
snapshotName: 'Snapshot Name', // to use as a File Name
snapshotPath: 'cypress/not_snapshots', // where to save the Snapshot
json: false // convert DOM elements into JSON
// when storing in the snapshot file
}) // when storing in the snapshot file
// will save as
// cypress/not_snapshots/Snapshot-Name.json
```
You can also pass a "Step Name" to the Function
```js
cy.get(...).snapshot("Intercepted API Request")
// will save as
// cypress/snapshots/<context>-<describe>-<it>-Intercepted-API-Request.json
// to prevent duplications
```
or both
```js
cy.get(...).snapshot("Intercepted API Request", {
snapshotPath: "cypress/snapshots/api",
snapshotName: "first_intercept"
})
// will save as
// cypress/snapshots/api/first_intercept.json
```
### Configuration
This module provides some configuration options:
#### useRelativeSnapshots
Set to true in order to store your snapshots for each test run next to the inital test caller rather
than at the base working directory.
**Note:** requires the `readFileMaybe` plugin to be configured see https://on.cypress.io/task#Read-a-file-that-might-not-exist
#### snapshotFileName
Set to a string to name your snapshot something other than 'snapshots.js'
#### Usage
Set the configuration options as part of the Cypress config.
See https://docs.cypress.io/guides/references/configuration.html
#### snapshotPath
Sets the default Path for saving Snapshots (default: `cypress/snapshots`)
## Debugging
To debug this module run with environment variable `DEBUG=@cypress/snapshot`
