eslint-plugin-jest

ESLint plugin for Jest

Installation

$ yarn add --dev eslint eslint-plugin-jest

Note: If you installed ESLint globally then you must also install eslint-plugin-jest globally.

Usage

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
  }
}

Shareable configurations

Style

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).

To enable this configuration use the extends property in your .eslintrc config file:

{
  "extends": ["plugin:jest/style"]
}

See ESLint documentation for more information about extending configuration files.

All

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.
