Can Jest only be used with React Applications?

[atherdon]

not sure, but i think it works with nodejs stuff. did you check links from this article: https://medium.com/groceristar/things-that-should-read-and-use-javascript-intern-at-groceristar-april-18-collection-bd6541e9ae28

i'm newbie with jest too, but decided to switch from mocha because we're moving from expressJs frontend to react

Yes, I read the articles and it only mentions redux to test actions and React.

I like this about Jest: "It automatically runs tests in parallel, and its watch mode is able to run only tests relevant to the changed file, which is invaluable when you have a large suite of tests. It comes with JSDom configured, meaning you can write browser tests but run them through Node, can deal with asynchronous tests and has advanced features such as mocking, spies and stubs built in." quoted from this article https://www.sitepoint.com/test-react-components-jest/

Ok, i think jest will work for loopback api
