What are RSpec shared examples?

RSpec shared examples are a way to define common test behavior that can be reused across multiple test cases.

How do I define shared examples in RSpec?

You can define shared examples using the shared_examples method, followed by a block of code that contains the tests.

Can you give me an example of using shared examples?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

shared_examples 'a valid user' do
  it 'is valid with valid attributes' do
    expect(User.new(name: 'John')).to be_valid
  end
end

RSpec.describe User do
  it_behaves_like 'a valid user'
end

What are the benefits of using shared examples?

Shared examples help reduce code duplication, improve test organization, and make it easier to maintain your test suite.
