Simulate solution is deprecated

Enzyme simulate is supposed to be removed in version 4. Main maintainer is suggesting directly invoking prop functions. One solution is to directly test that invoking those props does the right thing; or you can mock out instance methods, test that the prop functions call them and unit test the instance methods.

You could call key down for example

wrapper.find('input').prop('onKeyDown')({ key: 'Enter' }) 

or

wrapper.find('input').props().onKeyDown({ key: 'Enter' })
