go-snaps
A Jest-like snapshot testing library for Go, enabling easy capture and comparison of test outputs.
What is go-snaps?
Go Snaps is a snapshot testing library for Go that enables developers to capture and automatically compare test outputs against stored references. It simplifies testing of complex data structures, UI components, and API responses by reducing the need for manual assertions. Inspired by Jest's snapshot testing, it integrates natively with Go's testing framework.
Go developers writing tests for applications with complex outputs, such as APIs, CLI tools, or data transformation logic, who want to reduce boilerplate and maintain test reliability.
Developers choose Go Snaps for its Jest-like API, support for multiple data formats (JSON, YAML, unstructured), and seamless integration with Go's testing ecosystem, including CI workflows and snapshot management tools.
