Video Description

Vitest is a simple testing library built on top of Vite which takes everything I love about Jest and brings it to the modern age of JavaScript. Everyone that has worked with Jest knows how much of a pain it is to work with ES modules, but Vitest makes it trivial. Vitest also adds many additional features and quality of life changes that make it better than Jest in my opinion. πŸ“š Materials/References: Jest Tutorial Video: https://youtu.be/FgnxcUQ5vho 🌎 Find Me Here: My Blog: https://blog.webdevsimplified.com My Courses: https://courses.webdevsimplified.com Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/WebDevSimplified Twitter: https://twitter.com/DevSimplified Discord: https://discord.gg/7StTjnR GitHub: https://github.com/WebDevSimplified CodePen: https://codepen.io/WebDevSimplified ⏱️ Timestamps: 00:00 - Introduction 00:44 - Create a vite project 01:33 - Basic vitest tests 05:51 - Test coverage reports 08:16 - Inline testing #Vitest #WDS #Jest
