Example angular.js application with jest testing runtime

Angular.js with Jest example

This is a proof-of-concept project to build a concept for testing angular.js with jest.

Getting started

Before you start make sure that you run yarn to install all required dependencies.

• yarn start

  Starts a webpack-dev-server for developing the application.

• yarn test

  Runs the tests with jest.

Constraints

Since this is a proof-of-concept for an much bigger application, there are some constraints which are transferred from the bigger app to this example:

• angular has to be available as global variable
• moment has to be available as global variable
• Templates are external .html-modules which are imported by webpack
• Requests should use $httpBackend mock
