A parameterised testing library for Jest inspired by mocha-each.
jest-each allows you to provide multiple arguments to your test
/describe
which results in the test/suite being run once per row of parameters.
.test
to runs multiple tests with parameterised data
.it
.test.only
to only run the parameterised tests
.it.only
or .fit
.test.skip
to skip the parameterised tests
.it.skip
or .xit
or .xtest
.test.concurrent
.it.concurrent
.test.concurrent.only
.it.concurrent.only
.test.concurrent.skip
.it.concurrent.skip
.describe
to runs test suites with parameterised data.describe.only
to only run the parameterised suite of tests
.fdescribe
.describe.skip
to skip the parameterised suite of tests
