# Test That Element Does Not Render In The Component
With
[`react-testing-library`](https://testing-library.com/docs/react-testing-library/intro),
you can render a component and make assertions about the different parts of the
component that get rendered.
You can also make assertions that certain things _don't_ get rendered. To do that, first render the component:
```javascript
import { render, screen } from '@testing-library/react'
import '@testing-library/jest-dom/extend-expect'
import MyComponent from '../MyComponent'
test('renders component without Click Me button', () => {
render(<MyComponent />)
})
```
Then add a `not` expectation with a `query*`-style matcher:
```javascript
expect(screen.queryByText('Click Me')).not.toBeInTheDocument()
```
You'll get an immediate test failure if you try to directly select for the element using a `get*`-style matcher:
```javascript
// ❌ will fail on `getByText` before the rest of the
// assertion can be evaluated.
expect(screen.getByText('Click Me')).not.toBeInTheDocument()
```
