What is jest-preset-angular?
jest-preset-angular is a Jest preset configuration for Angular projects. It simplifies the setup and configuration of Jest for testing Angular applications, providing necessary configurations, transformers, and environment settings.
What are jest-preset-angular's main functionalities?
Setup and Configuration
This feature provides a preset configuration for Jest, making it easier to set up Jest in Angular projects. The code sample shows how to configure Jest to use jest-preset-angular in the Jest configuration file.
module.exports = { preset: 'jest-preset-angular', setupFilesAfterEnv: ['<rootDir>/setup-jest.ts'] };
Transformers
jest-preset-angular includes transformers to handle TypeScript and Angular templates. The code sample demonstrates how to configure Jest to use ts-jest for transforming TypeScript and HTML files.
module.exports = { transform: { '^.+\.(ts|html)$': 'ts-jest' } };
Global Mocks
jest-preset-angular provides global mocks for common Angular dependencies, such as Angular's testing utilities. The code sample shows how to import jest-preset-angular to include these global mocks in your tests.
import 'jest-preset-angular';

karma
Karma is a test runner for JavaScript that works well with Angular. Unlike jest-preset-angular, which is a Jest preset, Karma is a standalone test runner that can be configured to work with various testing frameworks, including Jasmine and Mocha.
angular-testing-library
angular-testing-library is a set of utilities for testing Angular components. It focuses on testing user interactions and component behavior, similar to jest-preset-angular, but it is not a Jest preset and can be used with different test runners.
ng-mocks
ng-mocks is a library for creating mocks of Angular components, directives, and services. It complements jest-preset-angular by providing additional mocking capabilities, but it is not a preset configuration for Jest.
