Debug your Jest tests. Effortlessly. 🛠🖼

Try Jest Preview Online. No downloads needed!

When writing tests using Jest, we usually debug by reading the HTML code. Sometimes, the HTML is too complicated to visualize the UI in our head. jest-preview previews your Jest tests right in a browser, then you can see your actual UI visually, which helps you write and debug Jest tests faster.

jest-preview is initially designed to work with Jest and react-testing-library. The package is framework-agnostic, and you can use it with any frontend frameworks and testing libraries. For examples:

• Vite React
• Create React App
• Nextjs
• Svelte
• Angular
• Vue

• 👀 Preview your actual app's HTML in a browser in milliseconds.
• 🔄 Auto reload browser when executing preview.debug()`.
• 💅 Support CSS:
  • ✅ Direct CSS import
  • ✅ Number of CSS-in-JS libraries, such as:
    • ✅ Styled-components
    • ✅ Emotion
  • ✅ Global CSS
  • ✅ CSS Modules
  • ✅ Sass
• 🌄 Support viewing images.

+import preview from 'jest-preview';

describe('App', () => {
  it('should work as expected', () => {
    render(<App />);
+    preview.debug();
  });
});

Or:

+import { debug } from 'jest-preview';

describe('App', () => {
  it('should work as expected', () => {
    render(<App />);
+    debug();
  });
});
