How can I use Cypress for testing my React application?

Cypress is a powerful testing framework that allows you to write end-to-end tests for your React applications. You can start by installing Cypress via npm.

What are the basic steps to set it up?

First, install Cypress with npm install cypress --save-dev. Then, open Cypress using npx cypress open, which will create a cypress folder in your project.

Can you show me an example test?

Sure! Here's a simple test:

describe('My First Test', () => {
  it('Visits the Kitchen Sink', () => {
    cy.visit('https://example.cypress.io')
    cy.contains('type').click()
    cy.url().should('include', '/commands/actions')
  })
})

How do I run the tests?

You can run the tests in the Cypress Test Runner or headlessly using npx cypress run in your terminal.
