Jest Path Mapping

jest typescript

To enable absolute path import in our test files, we need to configure it first. ts-jest provides a helper to transform the mapping from tsconfig.

// jest.config.js
const { pathsToModuleNameMapper } = require("ts-jest");
const { compilerOptions } = require("./tsconfig");

/** @type {import('ts-jest').JestConfigWithTsJest} */
module.exports = {
  // [...]
  modulePaths: [compilerOptions.baseUrl],
  moduleNameMapper: pathsToModuleNameMapper(compilerOptions.paths, {
    prefix: "<rootDir>/src", // this might depend on your tsconfig configuration
  }),
};
