Test fixture

As explained in React Quickly, Second Edition

A test fixture is prepared data, state, resources, or setup and cleanup logic that establishes controlled conditions for one or more tests.

const initialState = [
 { id: 1, title: "Make task manager" },    
 { id: 2, title: "Now add some more tasks" },
];
export default initialState;

How React Quickly, Second Edition covers it

How deep it goes

Shows a small default-data array and its fallback role, without demonstrating test setup or cleanup.

Examples

Uses two task records titled “Make task manager” and “Now add some more tasks.”

What you can do after

Build it from scratch by exporting a default task array for use as startup data.

How it connects

Connects fixed sample data with application state initialization and browser local storage.
