Description

@ddrozdov

What rule do you want to change?

prefer-user-event

Does this change cause the rule to produce more or fewer warnings?

More warnings

How will the change be implemented?

Add more fireEvent -> userEvent mappings.

React Native Testing Library has its own fireEvent function and the same idea of proposing to use userEvent if possible.

According to the docs, it's recommended to use:

  • User Event press instead of fireEvent.press
  • User Event type instead of fireEvent.changeText
  • User Event scrollTo instead of fireEvent.scroll

Example code

fireEvent.press(screen.getByText('Press me'))

How does the current rule affect the code?

It doesn't suggest any changes to fireEvent calls for React Native projects.

How will the new rule affect the code?

It'll suggest to use User Event as per the docs.

Anything else?

No response

Do you want to submit a pull request to change the rule?
