How to use jest?

RevealedFrom opened this issue · comments

According to jest documentation, jest is for Javascript. To use it with TypeScript requires the installation of Babel.

Why is jest included here, and is there any instruction on how to use it?

Jest works fine with TypeScript, see the bottom of that page you linked to 👍

Though if you look inside the jest settings for this repo - it uses ts-jest which doesn't require babel
