 Hypothesis frontend projects. It includes tools for:

  - Waiting for conditions to be met
  - Mocking UI components
  - Testing accessibility using [axe-core](https://github.com/dequelabs/axe-core)

+## API guide
+
+### Rendering components
+
+This package exports a wrapper around Enzyme's `mount` function to render
+a component, query its output and interact with it. The function in this
+package adds the wrapper to a global list of active wrappers which can then
+be conveniently unmounted using `unmountAll` at the end of a test.
+
+```js
+import { mount, unmountAll } from '@hypothesis/frontend-testing';
+
+describe('MyWidget', () => {
+  afterEach(() => {
+    // Clean up by unmounting any wrappers mounted in the current test and
+    // removing associated DOM containers.
+    unmountAll();
+  });
+
+  it('should render', () => {
+    const wrapper = mount(<MyWidget/>);
+
+    // Query component content etc.
+  });
+
+  it('should do something that requires component to be connected', () => {
+    const wrapper = mount(<MyWidget/>, { connected: true });
+
+    // Test behavior that relies on rendered component being part of the
+    // DOM tree under `document.body`.
+  });
+});
+```
