ts-jest is a Jest transformer that enables testing TypeScript projects with Jest, providing source map support and full TypeScript feature support including type-checking. It offers several Jest presets for quick setup and can work in combination with Babel.

Use cases

  • run jest tests on a typescript project
  • test typescript code with type checking
  • set up jest for typescript with presets
  • get source maps in jest test errors for typescript
  • use babel alongside typescript in jest
  • migrate a javascript jest setup to typescript

When to choose

  • you use Jest and want first-class TypeScript support with type-checking during tests
  • you need accurate stack traces via source maps in TypeScript tests
  • you want ready-made Jest presets to get started quickly

When to avoid

  • you use a test runner other than Jest, such as Vitest
  • you prefer transpile-only speed via Babel's preset-typescript without type-checking
  • your project does not use TypeScript
