The difference between get, find, query (React Testing Library).
Choosing a suitable query type while working with React Testing Library.

React Testing Library (RTL) gives developers methods to find elements on the component it rendered for testing, these methods are called queries. There are 3 main types of RTL query types namely get, find and query.
In this guide we’ll be looking at the differences and tips to note while working with any of these query types.
Tip : Use these methods if you expect the element / elements to be present upon query.
Tip : Use these methods if you are looking to confirm presence of an element / elements.
Tip : Use these methods if the element / elements being queried might display asynchronously (for example, if your element is expected to only display after an event is fired consider using find as it retries the query after some time).
For more information on the queries check out the React Testing Library docs. I’ll appreciate feedback :).
Good luck coding!
