Why jest-preview

When writing tests using Jest, we usually debug by reading the HTML code. Sometimes, the HTML is too complicated to visualize the UI in our head. jest-preview previews your Jest tests right in a browser, then you can see your actual UI visually, which helps you write and debug Jest tests faster.

jest-preview is initially designed to work with Jest and react-testing-library. The package is framework-agnostic, and you can use it with any frontend frameworks and testing libraries. For examples:
