RSpec render_component helper

[antoniusostermann]

Help us help you! Please choose one:

• My app crashes with react-rails, so I've included the stack trace and the exact steps which make it crash.
• My app doesn't crash, but I'm getting unexpected behavior. So, I've described the unexpected behavior and suggested a new behavior.
• I'm trying to use react-rails with another library, but I'm having trouble. I've described my JavaScript management setup (eg, Sprockets, Webpack...), how I'm trying to use this other library, and why it's not working.
• I have another issue to discuss.

How do you integrate react-rails into rspec controller tests? In my controller specs, I'd love to have a helper, which would enable sth like:

get :new 
expect(response).to render_component('MyComponent')

I support this request.
In fact, I tried to achieve a similar result but had trouble mocking controller's render method. I do not currently know how to effectively a controller using react-rails custom renderer.

Hi,
Been a while since any activity on this thread but trying to get through what I can now.
I'd certainly welcome anyone to submit a PR that adds an Rspec and Minitest helper that could be manually required in, it would be good to have testing helpers that come with the gem, perhaps go so far as to have a test template generated with the components?
