Mocking Strategies for React Native Testing

Documentation

This skill has comprehensive documentation:

• Production Examples - Real-world code examples from the codebase
• API Reference - Complete API documentation with official links
• Implementation Patterns - Best practices and anti-patterns

Core Principles

Mock external dependencies only, test internal logic. Replace network calls, navigation, native modules, and third-party libraries with controlled test doubles. Never mock internal utilities or helpers.

Why: Proper mocking enables fast, isolated, reliable tests that focus on component logic without external dependencies. Test behavior, not implementation.
