Does Jest support ES6 import/export?

by

From my answer to another question, this can be simpler:

The only requirement is to configure your test environment to Babel, and add the ECMAScript 6 transform plugin:

Step 1:

Add your test environment to .babelrc in the root of your project:

{
  "env": {
    "test": {
      "plugins": ["@babel/plugin-transform-modules-commonjs"]
    }
  }
}

Step 2:

Install the ECMAScript 6 transform plugin:

npm install --save-dev @babel/plugin-transform-modules-commonjs

And that’s it. Jest will enable compilation from ECMAScript modules to CommonJS automatically, without having to inform additional options to your jest property inside package.json.
