Unit Testing

Install Jest

In VSCode from a terminal;

npm install --save-dev jest ts-jest @types/jest

jest.config.js

Create a jest.config.js file in your project root:

module.exports = {
  preset: 'ts-jest',
  testEnvironment: 'node',
};

tsconfig.json

Update tsconfig.json:

Ensure your tsconfig.json is set up to handle Jest and TypeScript. Add the following configuration if it's not already present:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "ES6",
    "module": "commonjs",
    "strict": true,
    "esModuleInterop": true,
    "skipLibCheck": true,
    "forceConsistentCasingInFileNames": true,
    "types": ["jest"]
  }
}

package.json

Add a script to your package.json to run the tests:

"scripts": {
  "test": "jest"
}

# Setup Tests

Create Tests directory

Create a tests directory in your project in the project root, adjacent to your src directory.

Create a Test

Tests are TypeScript files that end in .test.ts.

Here's an example;

import { MaternityCalc } from '../src/maternityCalc';

describe('MaternityCalc', () => {
  const edd = new Date('2024-06-30');
  const maternityCalc = new MaternityCalc(edd);

  test('should calculate LMP date correctly', () => {
    const expectedLmpDate = new Date('2023-09-24');
    expect(maternityCalc.lmpDate.toISOString().split('T')[0]).toBe(expectedLmpDate.toISOString().split('T')[0]);
  });

  test('should calculate correct dayOf', () => {
    // You need to adjust the test depending on the current date.
    // Assuming today is 2024-06-30 for this test:
    jest.setSystemTime(new Date('2024-06-30'));
    expect(maternityCalc.dayOf).toBe(280);
  });

  test('should calculate correct weekOf', () => {
    // Assuming today is 2024-06-30 for this test:
    jest.setSystemTime(new Date('2024-06-30'));
    expect(maternityCalc.weekOf).toBe(41); // 280 days is 40 weeks, plus 1 for 1-based index
  });

  test('should create instance from LMP date correctly', () => {
    const lmp = new Date('2023-09-24');
    const instance = MaternityCalc.createFromLMP(lmp);
    const expectedEdd = new Date('2024-06-30');
    expect(instance._edd.toISOString().split('T')[0]).toBe(expectedEdd.toISOString().split('T')[0]);
  });
});
