Easy mocking in Angular for container components

Everybody how tried to write some tests for container ccomponents knows the pain of writing the mocks.

It is just an option to lead testing ad abdsurdum …

BUT I found a nice module which is a very nice solution: ng-mocks. Mocking a component is then a oneliner in the TestBed configuration:

        MockComponent(DependencyComponent),
      ]
