RFC: RNTL Cookbook

Comienza revisando los temas propuestos para el cookbook y los ejemplos/la aplicación del cookbook planificados, basados en la aplicación de ejemplo básica. Se considerará terminado cuando las recetas seleccionadas tengan documentación breve y comprensible, con ejemplos y cobertura ejecutable en la aplicación del cookbook.

RNTL Cookbook

RNTL is feature-complete, so the next big frontier is documenting and sharing best practices so our users can get the most out of using RNTL. Specifically, we could have a significant impact by:

• Describe best practices around common tasks like async tests, network calls,
• Provide ready-made recipes for testing popular libraries like state management, React Navigation
• Provide copy-pastable information about mocking and RNTL setup

I propose creating an RNTL Cookbook. It would be a documentation section where we would gather relatively short "recipes" for handling different concerns, tips & tricks, etc.

Proposed topics

Basic

• Jest Config
• Custom Render functions #1622
• Testing async code
• Mocking in general
• Mocking network calls with fetch
• Mocking React Native parts

Popular libraries

• Gesture Handler
• Reanimated
• ...

Navigation

• React Navigation
• Expo Router (?)

State management

• Redux (classic)
• Redux (RTK)
• Zustand
• Jotai
• Valtio
• ...

Other

• Custom component snapshot matcher (?)
• Testing Event Emitters / Streams

Each documentation page should be brief and accompanied by an easy-to-understand example showcasing the essence of the recipe/technique. Additionally, I will create an examples/cookbook app based on a basic example app that will provide runnable code for all recipes.

We would invite our users to share their own best practices, tips & tricks, etc. so this becomes a crowdsource effort and a common knowledge base making our (developer) lives easier and more productive.
