✨ Copy, Paste, Test: A Simple Jest Setup for TypeScript Apps
When building a small TypeScript app, it’s easy to skip unit tests. You might think, "My app is simple, it’s probably fine." But here’s the truth: unit tests are like insurance for your code. They catch bugs early, help you refactor confidently, and don’t take much time to set up. I’ll show you how to quickly set up Jest with TypeScript, with minimal boilerplate. No stress, just copy and paste, and you’ll be up and running in minutes.
