how to check the actual DOM node using react enzyme

Question

Is there a way to get the actual DOM node so I can the query it with the Dom api as opposed to being required to use enzyme\'s api, it\'s just for edge cases where for examp

Answer 1

Perhaps you are looking for enzyme's instance()?

const wrapper = mount()
console.log(wrapper.instance().value); // 'hello'

PS:

instance() should give you a ReactComponent, from which you can use ReactDOM.findDOMNode(ReactComponent) to get a DOMNode. However, when I did that, like the following, it was the exact same object as wrapper.instance():

import ReactDOM from 'react-dom'
const wrapper = mount()
console.log(ReactDOM.findDOMNode(wrapper.instance()) == wrapper.instance()) // true

I don't understand why that is. If you console.log() either one of those, you'll see a HTMLInputElement, but it will contain lots of non-native DOM node looking stuff:

HTMLInputElement {
  '__reactInternalInstance$yt1y6akr6yldi': 
   ReactDOMComponent {
     _currentElement: 
      { '$$typeof': Symbol(react.element),
        type: 'input',
        key: null,
        ref: null,
        props: [Object],
        _owner: [Object],
        _store: {} },
