Jest

Painless JavaScript Unit Testing

• Familiar Approach: Built on top of the Jasmine test framework, using familiar expect(value).toBe(other) assertions

• Mock by Default: Automatically mocks CommonJS modules returned by require(), making most existing code testable

• Short Feedback Loop: DOM APIs are mocked and tests run in parallel via a small node.js command line utility

Getting Started

Mock functions

• mockFn.mockReturnValue(value)
• mockFn.mockReturnValueOnce(value)

Config options

• config.bail [boolean]
• config.cacheDirectory [string]

Globally injected variables

• afterEach(fn)
• beforeEach(fn)
• describe(name, fn)
• expect(value)
• it(name, fn)
• it.only(name, fn) executes only this test. Useful when investigating a failure
• jest
• pit(name, fn) helper for promises
• require(module)
• require.requireActual(module)
• xdescribe(name, fn)
• xit(name, fn)

expect(value)

• .not inverse the next comparison
• .toThrow(?message)
• .toBe(value) comparison using ===
• .toEqual(value) deep comparison. Use jasmine.any(type) to be softer
• .toBeFalsy()
• .toBeTruthy()
• .toBeNull()
• .toBeUndefined()
• .toBeDefined()
• .toMatch(regexp)
• .toContain(string)
• .toBeCloseTo(number, delta)
• .toBeGreaterThan(number)
• .toBeLessThan(number)
• .toBeCalled()
• .toBeCalledWith(arg, um, ents)
• .lastCalledWith(arg, um, ents)
