Okta React SDK
Explore mocking techniques for Okta's React SDK with Jest. Understand how to simulate authentication states using the useOktaAuth hook, enabling you to test login and logout flows, render correct UI components, and verify authentication behaviors in React environments without real user interaction.
We'll cover the following...
