Setup
The syntax to set up the user-event testing library looks like this,
setup(options?: Options): UserEvent
Instead of using the above syntax, we can directly use the userEvent.setup function to create an instance of the user-event testing library. For example,
const set = userEvent.setup()
await set.keyboard(‘{Shift}{c}{o}{d}{e}’) //This will translate to: Shift, c, o,d, e
await user.click(element) // Perform a click with `shiftKey: true`
In the above example, we have combined the user-event with the Keyboard and the Click keyword.
