# @currents/jest

Currents reporter for [Jest](https://jestjs.io/) generates test results that for uploading to Currents.

The reporter stores the generated results in a temporary directory. Upload the generated results using a separate package [@currents/cmd](/resources/reporters/currents-cmd.md).

### Requirements

* **Jest** `v29.5.0+`
* **Node.js** `v18.20.4+`

### Setup

```sh
npm install @currents/jest @currents/cmd --save-dev
```

Add the reporter to Jest configuration:

```ts
import type { Config } from "jest";

const config: Config = {
  reporters: ["default", "@currents/jest"],
};

export default config;
```

or set the `--reporters` option when running the `jest`

```sh
npx jest --reporters=@currents/jest
```

The reporter saves the test results in a temporary folder named `.currents/[timestamp]-[uuidv4()]`.

{% hint style="info" %}
We recommend adding`.currents` to `.gitignore`
{% endhint %}

### Usage

* Configure the reporter
* Run the tests `npx jest`
* Use `currents` from [@currents/cmd](/resources/reporters/currents-cmd.md) package to upload the results

Example:

{% code overflow="wrap" fullWidth="false" %}

```bash
$ npx jest --reporters=@currents/jest --reporters=default

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.currents.dev/resources/reporters/currents-jest.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
