jest（jest 开发）

When to use this skill

Use this skill whenever the user wants to:

• Write unit tests and integration tests with Jest
• Set up Jest in a project
• Use Jest matchers and assertions
• Test asynchronous code
• Mock functions, modules, and dependencies
• Create snapshot tests
• Configure Jest for different environments
• Use Jest with TypeScript, React, Vue, or other frameworks
• Run tests and generate coverage reports
• Use Jest CLI commands
• Set up test environments (jsdom, node)
• Use Jest with Vite (via vite-jest, though Vitest is recommended for new Vite projects)

How to use this skill

This skill is organized to match the Jest official documentation structure (https://jestjs.io/docs/getting-started, https://jestjs.io/docs/api). When working with Jest:

1. Identify the topic from the user's request:

- Getting started/快速开始 → examples/getting-started/installation.md or examples/getting-started/using-matchers.md - Testing/测试 → examples/testing/asynchronous.md or examples/testing/setup-teardown.md - Mock functions/Mock 函数 → examples/testing/mock-functions.md - Mock modules/Mock 模块 → examples/testing/manual-mocks.md - Snapshots/快照 → examples/testing/snapshot-testing.md - Configuration/配置 → examples/configuration/jest-config.md - CLI/命令行 → examples/configuration/cli-options.md

1. Load the appropriate example file from the examples/ directory: Getting Started (快速开始) - examples/getting-started/: Testing (测试) - examples/testing/: Configuration (配置) - examples/configuration/: Guides (指南) - examples/guides/:

- examples/getting-started/installation.md - Installing Jest and basic setup - examples/getting-started/using-matchers.md - Using Jest matchers and assertions - examples/testing/asynchronous.md - Testing asynchronous code - examples/testing/setup-teardown.md - Setup and teardown functions - examples/testing/mock-functions.md - Mocking functions - examples/testing/manual-mocks.md - Manual mocks - examples/testing/snapshot-testing.md - Snapshot testing - examples/testing/timer-mocks.md - Mocking timers - examples/testing/es6-class-mocks.md - Mocking ES6 classes - examples/configuration/jest-config.md - Jest configuration options - examples/configuration/cli-options.md - CLI options and flags - examples/configuration/babel.md - Using Jest with Babel - examples/configuration/typescript.md - Using Jest with TypeScript - examples/guides/migrating-to-jest.md - Migrating to Jest - examples/guides/testing-react-apps.md - Testing React applications - examples/guides/testing-vue-apps.md - Testing Vue applications

1. Follow the specific instructions in that example file for syntax, structure, and best practices Important Notes:

- All examples follow Jest best practices - Examples include both JavaScript and TypeScript versions where applicable - Each example file includes key concepts, code examples, and key points - Always check the example file for best practices and common patterns

1. Reference API documentation in the api/ directory when needed:

- api/expect.md - expect() API and matchers - api/mock-functions.md - Mock functions API - api/jest-object.md - Jest object API - api/test.md - test() and describe() API - api/cli.md - CLI commands and options

1. Use templates from the templates/ directory:

- templates/jest-config.md - Jest configuration templates - templates/test-template.md - Test file templates - templates/setup-file.md - Setup file templates

Examples and Templates

This skill includes detailed examples organized to match the official documentation structure. All examples are in the examples/ directory (see mapping above).

To use examples:

• Identify the topic from the user's request
• Load the appropriate example file from the mapping above
• Follow the instructions, syntax, and best practices in that file
• Adapt the code examples to your specific use case

To use templates:

• Reference templates in templates/ directory for common scaffolding
• Adapt templates to your specific needs and coding style

Best Practices

1. Write descriptive test names: Use clear, descriptive test names
2. Use appropriate matchers: Choose the right matcher for each assertion
3. Mock external dependencies: Mock external APIs, databases, and services
4. Test edge cases: Test both happy paths and error cases
5. Keep tests isolated: Each test should be independent
6. Use setup and teardown: Clean up resources properly
7. Snapshot testing: Use snapshots for UI components, but review changes
8. Coverage goals: Aim for meaningful coverage, not just high percentages
9. Organize tests: Group related tests using describe blocks
10. Async testing: Properly handle async code with async/await or promises
