Component drivers for Material UI v5 components. Component drivers expose simple APIs for unit tests or end‑to‑end tests to interact with MUI components—such as reading states and setting values—so test engineers can focus on test flows without needing to track how the inner MUI components work.

The problem

Material UI hides complex markup behind its components. Without dedicated drivers your tests often need to rely on implementation details, making them brittle as your application grows.

The solution

The drivers in this package expose high‑level interactions for MUI widgets. Combined with the React adapter, they let you reuse scene definitions across DOM and end‑to‑end tests, focusing on reusability, composability and adaptability.

Installation

``bash
npm install @atomic-testing/core @atomic-testing/react-19 \
@atomic-testing/component-driver-html @atomic-testing/component-driver-mui-v5 --save-dev
`

Refer to the MUI driver guide for examples.

Example

1. Create a small component using MUI and assign data-testid values to the elements you want to interact with:

`tsx title="Counter.tsx"
import { useState } from 'react';

import Button from '@mui/material/Button';

export function Counter() {
const [count, setCount] = useState(0);
return (



);
}
`

2. Define a ScenePart describing the count display and button using the MUI driver:

`ts title="counterScenePart.ts"
import { HTMLSpanDriver } from '@atomic-testing/component-driver-html';
import { ButtonDriver } from '@atomic-testing/component-driver-mui-v5';
import { byDataTestId, ScenePart } from '@atomic-testing/core';

export const counterScenePart = {
count: { locator: byDataTestId('count'), driver: HTMLSpanDriver },
increment: { locator: byDataTestId('increment'), driver: ButtonDriver },
} satisfies ScenePart;
`

3. Write a test using createTestEngine to render the component and interact with it:

`ts title="Counter.test.tsx"
import { createTestEngine } from '@atomic-testing/react-19';

import { Counter } from './Counter';
import { counterScenePart } from './counterScenePart';

test('increments when the button is clicked', async () => {
const engine = createTestEngine(, counterScenePart);

expect(await engine.parts.count.getText()).toBe('0');
await engine.parts.increment.click();
expect(await engine.parts.count.getText()).toBe('1');

await engine.cleanUp();
});
``
