jest-without-globals

Explicitly import Jest globals.

Installation

npm i -D jest-without-globals

(note that jest is a peer dependency)

Usage

import { describe, it, expect } from 'jest-without-globals'

describe('describe should create a section', () => {
  it('it should checkmark', () => {
    expect('').toBe('')
  })
})

All of the functions available in Jest's API, as well as jest and expect, can be imported from jest-without-globals.

Examples

Can take a look at the tests for usage of more of the globals, but basically you can now just import any Jest global.

How it works

Basically just takes Jest's globals and exports them. The source code is currently shorter than this README, so take a look under the hood! :)

Credits

Some inspiration came from this workaround to avoid globals, which I had been using in projects previously. I wanted a package I could re-use in all my projects' tests instead of constantly having to create a helper file and map its name, and so jest-without-globals was born!
