How to spy on a default exported function with Jest?

Question

Suppose I have a simple file exporting a default function:

// UniqueIdGenerator.js
const uniqueIdGenerator = () => Math.random().toString(36).substring(2,         


        

Answer 1

In some cases you have to mock the import to be able to spy the default export:

import * as fetch from 'node-fetch'

jest.mock('node-fetch', () => ({
  default: jest.fn(),
}))

jest.spyOn(fetch, 'default')
