The Jest Object
The jest
object is automatically in scope within every test file. The methods in the jest
object help create mocks and let you control Jest's overall behavior. It can also be imported explicitly by via import {jest} from '@jest/globals'
.
The TypeScript examples from this page will only work as documented if you explicitly import Jest APIs:
import {expect, jest, test} from '@jest/globals';
Consult the Getting Started guide for details on how to setup Jest with TypeScript.

- Misc
Mock Modules
jest.disableAutomock()
Disables automatic mocking in the module loader.
Automatic mocking should be enabled via automock
configuration option for this method to have any effect. Also see documentation of the configuration option for more details.
- JavaScript
- TypeScript
/** @type {import('jest').Config} */
const config = {
automock: true,
};
module.exports = config;
import type {Config} from 'jest';
const config: Config = {
automock: true,
};
export default config;
After disableAutomock()
is called, all require()
s will return the real versions of each module (rather than a mocked version).
export default {
authorize: () => {
return 'token';
},
};
