Introduction

All ts-jest specific options are located under the globals of Jest config object in the package.json file of your project, or through a jest.config.js, or jest.config.ts file.

// package.json
{
  // [...]
  "jest": {
    "globals": {
      "ts-jest": {
        // ts-jest configuration goes here
      }
    }
  }
}

Or through JavaScript:

// jest.config.js
module.exports = {
  // [...]
  globals: {
    'ts-jest': {
      // ts-jest configuration goes here
    },
  },
}

:::tip

To utilize IDE suggestions, you can use JSDoc comments to provide suggested ts-jest configs for your Jest config:

/** @typedef {import('ts-jest/dist/types')} */
/** @type {import('@jest/types').Config.InitialOptions} */
module.exports = config = {
  // [...]
  globals: {
    'ts-jest': {
      // ts-jest configuration goes here and your IDE will suggest which configs when typing
    },
  },
}
