Automated Testing with Jest

[warengonzaga]

I was thinking of implementing Jest to the project the same as my recent projects.
I need a better implementation of it so that I can replicate it with other projects I have.

We first discussed it here (#32)

Question on format of spec files:

in #32 i separated each request into its own file which would also make adding test files easier.
I usually add the spec/test files in the same dir as what it tests like:

📂src
 ├📂api
 │ ├📂createRoom
 │ │ ├📃index.ts
 │ │ └📃index.test.ts
 │ └📂getMap
 │    ├📃index.ts
 │    └📃index.test.ts
 └📃index.ts

this makes it easier to maintain the test files imo

naming the file each file index.ts would still reference it as the default file for that folder so importing will still look like:

import { handleCreateRoom } from 'api/createRoom';

Do you guys have the same practice or do you have a dedicated test directory which contains all test files?

Good suggestion @princejoogie, for me this kind of practice would be good for easier maintenance. How about testing these? What would be the process?

we can setup jest to look at all files ending with .test.ts so we just need to setup a test script that just runs jest

initital setup of jest, will PR when #32 is accepted
