Vitest

Vite-native testing framework with Jest-compatible API.

When to Use

• Writing unit/integration tests for Vite projects
• Testing Vue/React/Svelte components
• Mocking modules, timers, or dates
• Running concurrent/parallel tests
• Type testing with TypeScript

Quick Start

npm i -D vitest

// vitest.config.ts
import { defineConfig } from 'vitest/config'

export default defineConfig({
  test: {
    globals: true,
    environment: 'node',  // or 'jsdom' for DOM tests
  },
})

// example.test.ts
import { describe, expect, it, vi } from 'vitest'

describe('math', () => {
  it('adds numbers', () => {
    expect(1 + 1).toBe(2)
  })
})

Reference Files

Loading Files

Consider loading these reference files based on your task:

• [ ] references/config.md - if setting up vitest.config.ts, CLI, or workspace projects
• [ ] references/test-api.md - if writing test/describe blocks, using hooks, or test fixtures
• [ ] references/mocking.md - if mocking modules, timers, dates, or using spies
• [ ] references/utilities.md - if writing assertions, snapshots, or configuring coverage
• [ ] references/advanced.md - if configuring test environments, type testing, or browser mode

DO NOT load all files at once. Load only what's relevant to your current task.
