Previously there was a custom version of the testing app for Stackblitz that would run the tests in the browser. With the web-container approach, this is no longer necessary since the tests can be run directly from the command line. Fixes #44047 PR Close #44085

# Testing Pipes
|
|
|
|
You can test [pipes](guide/pipes) without the Angular testing utilities.
|
|
|
|
<div class="alert is-helpful">
|
|
|
|
If you'd like to experiment with the application that this guide describes, <live-example name="testing" noDownload>run it in your browser</live-example> or <live-example name="testing" downloadOnly>download and run it locally</live-example>.

## Testing the `TitleCasePipe`
|
|
|
|
A pipe class has one method, `transform`, that manipulates the input
|
|
value into a transformed output value.
|
|
The `transform` implementation rarely interacts with the DOM.
|
|
Most pipes have no dependence on Angular other than the `@Pipe`
|
|
metadata and an interface.
|
|
|
|
Consider a `TitleCasePipe` that capitalizes the first letter of each word.
|
|
Here's an implementation with a regular expression.
|
|
|
|
<code-example path="testing/src/app/shared/title-case.pipe.ts" header="app/shared/title-case.pipe.ts"></code-example>
|
|
|
|
Anything that uses a regular expression is worth testing thoroughly.
|
|
Use simple Jasmine to explore the expected cases and the edge cases.
|
|
|
|
<code-example path="testing/src/app/shared/title-case.pipe.spec.ts" region="excerpt" header="app/shared/title-case.pipe.spec.ts"></code-example>

## Writing DOM tests to support a pipe test
|
|
|
|
These are tests of the pipe _in isolation_.
|
|
They can't tell if the `TitleCasePipe` is working properly as applied in the application components.
|
|
|
|
Consider adding component tests such as this one:
|
|
|
|
<code-example path="testing/src/app/hero/hero-detail.component.spec.ts" region="title-case-pipe" header="app/hero/hero-detail.component.spec.ts (pipe test)"></code-example>
