jest-each
Jest Parameterised TestingA parameterised testing library for Jest inspired by mocha-each.
jest-each allows you to provide multiple arguments to your test
/describe
which results in the test/suite being run once per row of parameters.
Features
.test
to runs multiple tests with parameterised data- Also under the alias:
.it
- Also under the alias:
.test.only
to only run the parameterised tests- Also under the aliases:
.it.only
or.fit
- Also under the aliases:
.test.skip
to skip the parameterised tests- Also under the aliases:
.it.skip
or.xit
or.xtest
- Also under the aliases:
.describe
to runs test suites with parameterised data.describe.only
to only run the parameterised suite of tests- Also under the aliases:
.fdescribe
- Also under the aliases:
.describe.skip
to skip the parameterised suite of tests- Also under the aliases:
.xdescribe
- Also under the aliases:
- Asynchronous tests with
done
- Unique test titles with
printf
formatting:%p
- pretty-format.%s
- String.%d
- Number.%i
- Integer.%f
- Floating point value.%j
- JSON.%o
- Object.%#
- Index of the test case.%%
- single percent sign ('%'). This does not consume an argument.
- 🖖 Spock like data tables with Tagged Template Literals
Demo
Tests without jest-each
Tests can be re-written with jest-each to:
.test
.test
with Tagged Template Literals
.describe
Installation
npm i --save-dev jest-each
yarn add -D jest-each
Importing
jest-each is a default export so it can be imported with whatever name you like.
// es6
import each from 'jest-each';
// es5
const each = require('jest-each');
Array of rows
API
each([parameters]).test(name, testFn)
each
:
- parameters:
Array
of Arrays with the arguments that are passed into thetestFn
for each row- Note If you pass in a 1D array of primitives, internally it will be mapped to a table i.e.
[1, 2, 3] -> [[1], [2], [3]]
- Note If you pass in a 1D array of primitives, internally it will be mapped to a table i.e.

Tagged Template Literal of rows

each
takes a tagged template string with:
- First row of variable name column headings seperated with

- One or more subsequent rows of data supplied as template literal expressions using
${value}
syntax.
.test
