Преобразование кода

Jest выполняет код вашего проекта как JavaScript, но если вы используете синтаксис, который не поддерживается Node. js из коробки (например, JSX, типы из TypeScript, шаблоны Vue и т. д.), то сначала нужно транспилировать ваш код в чистый JavaScript, по аналогии сборки проектов для клиентской части.

В Jest это можно сделать через опцию конфигурации transform .

Трансформер - это модуль, который предоставляет метод преобразования исходных файлов. For example, if you wanted to be able to use a new language feature in your modules or tests that aren't yet supported by Node, you might plug in a code preprocessor that would transpile a future version of JavaScript to a current one.

Jest закэширует результат преобразования, а если исходный файл или параметры конфигурации были изменены, тогда данные в кэше станут недействительными и преобразования будут запущены заново.

Конфигурация по умолчанию

Jest ships with one transformer out of the box – babel-jest. It will load your project's Babel configuration and transform any file matching the /\.[jt]sx?$/ RegExp (in other words, any .js, .jsx, .ts or .tsx file). Также, babel-jest добавляет плагин Babel, необходимый для поднятия имитаций модулей, о которых подробно рассказывается в ES Module mocking.

tip

Remember to include the default babel-jest transformer explicitly, if you wish to use it alongside with additional code preprocessors:

"transform": {
  "\\.[jt]sx?$": "babel-jest",
  "\\.css$": "some-css-transformer",
}

Создание пользовательских преобразователей

You can write your own transformer. Вот как выглядит его API:

interface TransformOptions<TransformerConfig = unknown> {
  supportsDynamicImport: boolean;
  supportsExportNamespaceFrom: boolean;
  /**
   * The value is:
   * - `false` if Jest runs without Node ESM flag `--experimental-vm-modules`
   * - `true` if the file extension is defined in [extensionsToTreatAsEsm](Configuration.md#extensionstotreatasesm-arraystring)
   * and Jest runs with Node ESM flag `--experimental-vm-modules`
   *
   * See more at https://jestjs.io/docs/28x/ecmascript-modules
   */
  supportsStaticESM: boolean;
  supportsTopLevelAwait: boolean;
  instrument: boolean;
  /** Cached file system which is used by `jest-runtime` to improve performance.   /** Кэширование файловой системы, которое используется `jest-runtime` для улучшения производительности. */
  cacheFS: Map<string, string>;
  /** Конфигурация Jest текущего проекта. */
  config: ProjectConfig;
  /** Stringified version of the `config` - useful in cache busting. */
  configString: string;
  /** Transformer configuration passed through `transform` option by the user. */
  transformerConfig: TransformerConfig;
}

type TransformedSource = {
  code: string;
  map?: RawSourceMap | string | null;
};

interface SyncTransformer<TransformerConfig = unknown> {
  canInstrument?: boolean;

  getCacheKey?: (
    sourceText: string,
    sourcePath: string,
    options: TransformOptions<TransformerConfig>,
  ) => string;

  getCacheKeyAsync?: (
    sourceText: string,
    sourcePath: string,
    options: TransformOptions<TransformerConfig>,
  ) => Promise<string>;

  process: (
    sourceText: string,
    sourcePath: string,
    options: TransformOptions<TransformerConfig>,
  ) => TransformedSource;

  processAsync?: (
    sourceText: string,
    sourcePath: string,
    options: TransformOptions<TransformerConfig>,
  ) => Promise<TransformedSource>;
}

interface AsyncTransformer<TransformerConfig = unknown> {
  canInstrument?: boolean;

  getCacheKey?: (
    sourceText: string,
    sourcePath: string,
    options: TransformOptions<TransformerConfig>,
  ) => string;

  getCacheKeyAsync?: (
    sourceText: string,
    sourcePath: string,
    options: TransformOptions<TransformerConfig>,
  ) => Promise<string>;

  process?: (
    sourceText: string,
    sourcePath: string,
    options: TransformOptions<TransformerConfig>,
  ) => TransformedSource;

  processAsync: (
    sourceText: string,
    sourcePath: string,
    options: TransformOptions<TransformerConfig>,
  ) => Promise<TransformedSource>;
}

type Transformer<TransformerConfig = unknown> =
  | SyncTransformer<TransformerConfig>
  | AsyncTransformer<TransformerConfig>;

type TransformerCreator<
  X extends Transformer<TransformerConfig>,
  TransformerConfig = unknown,
> = (transformerConfig?: TransformerConfig) => X;

type TransformerFactory<X extends Transformer> = {
  createTransformer: TransformerCreator<X>;
};

note

The definitions above were trimmed down for brevity. Full code can be found in Jest repo on GitHub (remember to choose the right tag/commit for your version of Jest).

There are a couple of ways you can import code into Jest - using Common JS (require) or ECMAScript Modules (import - which exists in static and dynamic versions). Jest passes files through code transformation on demand (for instance when a require or import is evaluated). This process, also known as "transpilation", might happen synchronously (in the case of require), or asynchronously (in the case of import or import(), the latter of which also works from Common JS modules). For this reason, the interface exposes both pairs of methods for asynchronous and synchronous processes: process{Async} and getCacheKey{Async}. The latter is called to figure out if we need to call process{Async} at all.

Asynchronous transpilation can fall back to the synchronous process call if processAsync is unimplemented, but synchronous transpilation cannot use the asynchronous processAsync call. If your codebase is ESM only, implementing the async variants are sufficient. Otherwise, if any code is loaded through require (including createRequire from within ESM), then you need to implement the synchronous process variant.

Be aware that node_modules is not transpiled with default config, the transformIgnorePatterns setting must be modified in order to do so.

Semi-related to this are the supports flags we pass (see CallerTransformOptions above), but those should be used within the transform to figure out if it should return ESM or CJS, and has no direct bearing on sync vs async

Though not required, we highly recommend implementing getCacheKey as well, so we do not waste resources transpiling when we could have read its previous result from disk. Функция @jest/create-cache-key-function поможет с написанием метода.

Instead of having your custom transformer implement the Transformer interface directly, you can choose to export createTransformer, a factory function to dynamically create transformers. This is to allow having a transformer config in your jest config.

note

ECMAScript module support is indicated by the passed in supports* options. Specifically supportsDynamicImport: true means the transformer can return import() expressions, which is supported by both ESM and CJS. If supportsStaticESM: true it means top level import statements are supported and the code will be interpreted as ESM and not CJS. See Node's docs for details on the differences.

tip

Make sure process{Async} method returns source map alongside with transformed code, so it is possible to report line information accurately in code coverage and test errors. Inline source maps also work but are slower.

During the development of a transformer it can be useful to run Jest with --no-cache to frequently delete cache.

Примеры

TypeScript с проверкой типа

While babel-jest by default will transpile TypeScript files, Babel will not verify the types. If you want that you can use ts-jest.

Transforming images to their path

Importing images is a way to include them in your browser bundle, but they are not valid JavaScript. One way of handling it in Jest is to replace the imported value with its filename.

fileTransformer.js

const path = require('path');

module.exports = {
  process(sourceText, sourcePath, options) {
    return {
      code: `module.exports = ${JSON.stringify(path.basename(sourcePath))};`,
    };
  },
};

jest.config.js

module.exports = {
  transform: {
    '\\.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif|eot|otf|webp|svg|ttf|woff|woff2|mp4|webm|wav|mp3|m4a|aac|oga)$':
      '<rootDir>/fileTransformer.js',
  },
};
