How does happy-dom help with testing Hugo sites?

happy-dom mocks browser-specific APIs like the DOM, window, and localStorage, allowing you to test interactive scripts like theme switchers without a heavy headless browser.

Does this skill support testing AJAX or fetch calls?

Yes, it includes guidance on mocking fetch and network calls to test dynamic features like Hugo's JSON-based search indexes or external API integrations.

Why use Bun for Hugo testing?

Bun provides a significantly faster test runner than Jest or Vitest and offers native TypeScript support out of the box with zero configuration required for static sites.

Can I test interactive theme toggles with this skill?

Yes, the skill provides specific strategies and code patterns for testing theme logic, including DOM attribute manipulation and localStorage persistence.
