Laravel Tag Assertions
======================

[](#laravel-tag-assertions)

[Laravel](https://laravel.com/) ships with a number of awesome features, but one of my favorites is how easy it makes [testing your application](https://laravel.com/docs/master/testing).

Laravel Tag Assertions aims to make the incredible [HTTP tests](https://laravel.com/docs/master/http-tests) functionality that Laravel offers even more powerful by adding useful assertions for HTML tags.

### Motivations

[](#motivations)

Frequently I've wanted to assert a response contains certain elements (ie: Vue component with certain props), but didn't want newlines and other whitespace to matter. Using methods like `$response->assertSee(...)` is not ideal for this particular use-case. Laravel Dusk wasn't a desirable option either because it can be slow and sometimes fragile.

Installation
============

[](#installation)

```
composer require --dev mikerogne/laravel-tag-assertions

```

Once installed, your TestResponse instances now have access to new assertions. See below for usage & examples.

Usage
=====

[](#usage)

### TestResponse::assertSeeTag(string $selector, array $attributes)

[](#testresponseassertseetagstring-selector-array-attributes)

**$selector** is the name of a tag you want to match. You can get as specific as you want. **$attributes** is either an array of attributes that the tag must have.

SimpleMore Specificbuttonbutton.btn.btn-defaultaa\[role=tab\]### TestResponse::assertSeeTag(string $selector, $callback)

[](#testresponseassertseetagstring-selector-callback)

If you specify a callback, three parameters will be passed to it:

1. **$tag**: This is the name of the tag itself, ie: `button` or `a`.
2. **$attributes**: This is an array of attributes for the tag, ie: `["class" => "btn btn-default"]`.
3. **$content**: This is a string representing the content (innerHtml). Whitespace is included.

### TestResponse::assertSeeTagContent(string $selector, string $content)

[](#testresponseassertseetagcontentstring-selector-string-content)

Sometimes we only care that a tag with specific content is on the page. A common use-case for this is a textarea field.

```
$response->assertSeeTagContent('textarea[name=about]', $user->about);

```
