- Kent C Dodds is a strong proponent of that approach, and teaches it in his materials on how to write tests. He also created the React Testing Library lib, which has picked up a lot of adoption in the community. (Enzyme has struggled to keep up with some of the newer features in React, which has led to a number of folks switching to RTL as well.)
- Hooks in general push you towards a different set of tradeoffs for how your components read data. Related to that, the concept of "container components" isn't completely useless, but the community always over-obsessed about that idea.
I specifically talked about some of the differences in mental models and tradeoffs in my post "Thoughts on React Hooks, Redux, and Separation of Concerns" [0], and my ReactBoston 2019 talk on "Hooks, HOCs, and Tradeoffs" [1].
So, the RTL docs suggest that you should test Redux-using components by writing a reusable function to "render components with a Redux store + Provider wrapped around them" [2], and we just merged a PR to the Redux docs that shows that same approach [3].
