Jest gives an error: “SyntaxError: Unexpected token export”

by

This means, that a file is not transformed through TypeScript compiler, e.g. because it is a JS file with TS syntax, or it is published to npm as uncompiled source files. Here’s what you can do.

Adjust your transformIgnorePatterns allowed list:

{
  "jest": {
    "transformIgnorePatterns": [
      "node_modules/(?!@ngrx|(?!deck.gl)|ng-dynamic)"
    ]
  }
}

By default Jest doesn’t transform node_modules, because they should be valid JavaScript files. However, it happens that library authors assume that you’ll compile their sources. So you have to tell this to Jest explicitly. Above snippet means that @ngrx, deck and ng-dynamic will be transformed, even though they’re node_modules.
