This hook reads the status of its ancestor form component, if it exists.
```js
const {pending, data, action, method} = useFormStatus();
```
It can be used to implement a loading indicator, for example. You can
think of it as a shortcut for implementing a loading state with the
useTransition hook.
For now, it's only available in the experimental channel. We'll share
docs once its closer to being stable. There are additional APIs that
will ship alongside it.
Internally it's implemented using startTransition + a context object.
That's a good way to think about its behavior, but the actual
implementation details may change in the future.
Because form elements cannot be nested, the implementation in the
reconciler does not bother to keep track of multiple nested "transition
providers". So although it's implemented using generic Fiber config
methods, it does currently make some assumptions based on React DOM's
requirements.
react-test-renderer
This package provides an experimental React renderer that can be used to render React components to pure JavaScript objects, without depending on the DOM or a native mobile environment.
Essentially, this package makes it easy to grab a snapshot of the "DOM tree" rendered by a React DOM or React Native component without using a browser or jsdom.
Documentation:
https://reactjs.org/docs/test-renderer.html
Usage:
const ReactTestRenderer = require('react-test-renderer');
const renderer = ReactTestRenderer.create(
<Link page="https://www.facebook.com/">Facebook</Link>
);
console.log(renderer.toJSON());
// { type: 'a',
// props: { href: 'https://www.facebook.com/' },
// children: [ 'Facebook' ] }
You can also use Jest's snapshot testing feature to automatically save a copy of the JSON tree to a file and check in your tests that it hasn't changed: https://jestjs.io/blog/2016/07/27/jest-14.html.
