Testing Error Result in an Event Handler of a React Component

I'm stuck on trying to figure out how to use Jasmine to test the result of an event handler that is defined in the render() function of a React Component. Specifically I'm testing if invalid parameters are passed into the event handler it should throw an error. Here is some sample code below:

render()

class App extends Component<{TestStore: any}, {}> {

handleChangeDate = (increaseDate: boolean, typeOfDate: string) => {

switch (typeOfDate) {

case "day":

currentTypeOfDate = store.returnDay;
minBoundary = 1;
maxBoundary = 31;
break;

case "month":

currentTypeOfDate = store.returnMonth;
minBoundary = 1;
maxBoundary = 12;
break;

case "year":

currentTypeOfDate = store.returnYear;
minBoundary = 2000;
maxBoundary = 2020;
break;

default:

try {
throw new TypeError("Incorrect typeOfdate given. Shoud be 'day', 'month', or 'year'");
} catch (e) {
console.log(e);
}

}
}

render() {

const {TestStore} = this.props;

return (
<div className="background">
<div id="top-arrow-container">
<i id="month-up" className="up" onClick={e => this.handleChangeDate(true, "month")}></i>
<i id="day-up" className="up" onClick={e => this.handleChangeDate(true, "day")}></i>
<i id="year-up" className="up" onClick={e => this.handleChangeDate(true, "year")}></i>
</div>
</div>
);

}

}


So I'm trying to test handleChangeDate(true, "test") which should return a TypeError. How do I write a test for this? From what I've seen, do I use mount from enzyme, setFixtures from jasmine-jquery, TestUtils.renderIntoDocument() from React Test Utils, or something else?

handleChangeDate(true, "test")
