Jest's snapshot feature, while incredibly useful, often results in cluttered directories. Fortunately, users can configure the location of snapshot files and __snapshots__ folders. By utilizing a snapshotResolver, developers can instruct Jest to look for snapshots in a designated folder. This process involves editing two key configuration files: jest.config.js and snapshotResolver.js, allowing users to streamline their project structure while retaining the benefits of snapshots. This approach enhances organization and helps maintain a clean workspace in development environments.
Snapshots are an amazing feature in Jest but they can be messy to deal with. Fortunately, you can use a snapshotResolver to better fit your needs.
The snapshotResolver tells Jest, 'Hey, for the snapshots check snapshotResolver.js for instructions'.
By using the snapshotResolver, you can configure Jest to move the snap files and __snapshots__ folders into a more organized structure.
This configuration involves a two-steps procedure with jest.config.js and snapshotResolver.js to direct the storage of snapshot files.
