AVA-TS

Native TypeScript support for sindresorhus' awesome AVA test runner out of the box, without a prior build step.

This is a fork of the official AVA repository with a couple of minimally invasive changes. Uses ts-node/register instead of Babel. Not the cleanest solution, but it works pretty well.

Installation

npm install --save-dev ava-ts ava ts-node

# Using yarn:
yarn add --dev ava-ts ava ts-node

Usage

Write your tests in TypeScript as you would usually do and import from ava, not from ava-ts, just as you would always do.

// test.ts

import test from 'ava'

test('one plus two equals three', t => {
	t.is(1 + 2, 3)
})

Instead of running ava, just run the ava-ts CLI tool instead. That's it!

It will use all the same options and defaults you know from AVA, but searches for *.ts files instead of *.js.

Documentation

See AVA's official docs for detailed information.
