$ yarn add --dev eslint eslint-plugin-jest
Note: If you installed ESLint globally then you must also install
eslint-plugin-jest
globally.
Add jest
to the plugins section of your .eslintrc
configuration file. You
can omit the eslint-plugin-
prefix:
{
"plugins": ["jest"]
}
Then configure the rules you want to use under the rules section.
{
"rules": {
"jest/no-disabled-tests": "warn",
"jest/no-focused-tests": "error",
"jest/no-identical-title": "error",
"jest/prefer-to-have-length": "warn",
"jest/valid-expect": "error"
}
}
You can also whitelist the environment variables provided by Jest by doing:
{
"env": {
"jest/globals": true
}
}
This plugin exports a recommended configuration that enforces good testing practices.
To enable this configuration use the extends
property in your .eslintrc
config file:
{
"extends": ["plugin:jest/recommended"]
}
This plugin also exports a configuration named style
, which adds some
stylistic rules, such as prefer-to-be-null
, which enforces usage of toBeNull
over toBe(null)
. All rules included are:
prefer-to-be-null
prefer-to-be-undefined
prefer-to-contain
prefer-to-have-length
See ESLint documentation for more information about extending configuration files.
If you want to enable all rules instead of only some you can do so by adding the
all
configuration to your .eslintrc
config file:
{
"extends": ["plugin:jest/all"]
}
While the recommended
and style
configurations only change in major versions
the all
configuration may change in any release and is thus unsuited for
installations requiring long-term consistency.
