Describe your suggestion

In the last paragraph of the section, Simulating user events the lesson implicitly suggests the use of beforeEach when writing multiple tests for a component because each of them require the render method to be called every time.

It’s also important to note that after every test, React Testing Library unmounts the rendered components. That’s why we render for each test. For a lot of tests for a component, the beforeEach Vitest function could prove handy.

The linked docs on introduction to user events on RTL website, and the lesson that follows this one, on the other hand, both discourage the use of invoking render in beforeEach with given explanations, and instead suggest using a setup function if needed.

With that in mind, I think it would be a good idea to replace the following line with one about setup functions.

For a lot of tests for a component, the beforeEach Vitest function could prove handy.

Something like this perhaps.

For a lot of tests for a component, a custom setup function could prove handy.

Or we could remove it altogether.
