Best Practices

• Install Jest

npm install --save-dev jest @types/jest jest-preset-angular

• Configure Jest

// jest.config.js
module.exports = {
  preset: 'jest-preset-angular',
  setupFilesAfterEnv: ['<rootDir>/setup-jest.ts'],
  testPathIgnorePatterns: ['<rootDir>/node_modules/'],
};

• Write test

import { ComponentFixture, TestBed } from '@angular/core/testing';
import { MyComponent } from './my.component';

describe('MyComponent', () => {
  let component: MyComponent;
  let fixture: ComponentFixture<MyComponent>;

  beforeEach(async () => {
    await TestBed.configureTestingModule({
      imports: [MyComponent]
    }).compileComponents();

    fixture = TestBed.createComponent(MyComponent);
    component = fixture.componentInstance;
  });

  it('should create', () => {
    expect(component).toBeTruthy();
  });
});
