|
| 3 | [Babel](https://github.com/babel/babel) [jest](https://github.com/facebook/jest) plugin
|
| 4 |
|
| 5 | ## Usage
|
| 6 |
|
| 7 | If you are already using `jest-cli`, just add `babel-jest` and it will automatically compile JavaScript code using babel.
|
| 8 |
|
| 9 | ```
|
| 10 | npm install --save-dev babel-jest
|
| 11 | ```
|
| 12 |
|
| 13 | If you would like to write your own preprocessor, uninstall and delete babel-jest and set the [config.transform](http://facebook.github.io/jest/docs/configuration.html#transform-object-string-string) option to your preprocessor.
|
| 14 |
|
| 15 | ## Setup
|
| 16 |
|
| 17 | *Note: this step is only required if you are using `babel-jest` with additional code preprocessors.*
|
| 18 |
|
| 19 | To explicitly define `babel-jest` as a transformer for your JavaScript code, map *.js* files to the `babel-jest` module.
|
| 20 |
|
| 21 | ```json
|
| 22 | "transform": {
|
| 23 | "^.+\\.jsx?$": "babel-jest"
|
| 24 | },
|
| 25 | ```
