How do you test reducers created with createSlice()?

Q: How do you test reducers created with createSlice()?

Reducers created with `createSlice()` can be easily tested by calling them directly with an initial state and an action. Since reducers are pure functions, you can verify that they produce the expected next state for a given input without needing to mock a Redux store. Import the reducer and its action creators from the slice file. Provide an initial state and simulate actions by dispatching them manually. Assert that the returned state matches the expected output. Ensure that reducers do not mutate the original state (immutability test). import userReducer, { updateUser } from './userSlice'; // Initial state const initialState = { name: 'Alice' }; describe('user reducer', () => { it('should handle initial state', () => { expect(userReducer(undefined, { type: 'unknown' })).toEqual({ name: '' }); }); it('should handle updateUser', () => { const action = updateUser('Bob'); const nextState = userReducer(initialState, action); expect(nextState.name).toBe('Bob'); }); it('should not mutate the original state', () => { const action = updateUser('Charlie'); const nextState = userReducer(initialState, action); expect(initialState.name).toBe('Alice'); // state remains unchanged }); }); By testing reducers in isolation, you ensure the logic for state transitions works correctly, making your Redux application more predictable and maintainable.
