# Introduction

Vue Testing Framework is an experimental Vue 3 testing framework build for a first class TypeScript development experience.

# What is this?

A simple framework for testing Vue 3 apps. Parts of it will likely become the next iteration for Vue Test Utils.

Support Vue.js 3.0
Excellent TypeScript integration - no need for typecasting, !, ts-ignore etc.
Avoid the need to access the raw vm element
Excellent documentation
Fix pain points of VTU beta (stubs, shallowMount, slots, testing third party components libs)

There are some existing issues; take a look, and ask if you have questions.
Install deps with yarn install.
Run the tests with yarn test.
There is a simple app you can run to try things out/sanity check you component code is actually valid and working in a browser. Run it with yarn dev and open index.html in your browser (no hot reload, you need to refresh the page to see you changes)
NOTE: one of the emit specs is currently failing; this will be fixed with Vue3 alpha 5. See the comment above the failing spec
