+## About
+
+[Jest](https://jestjs.io/) is a JavaScript testing framework that transpiles code on the fly to enable a fast-feedback testing cycle for the developer.
+
+It is typically used to test browser code, whereby it injects an artificial DOM implementation into the global scope to enable running the actual tests on [Node.js](https://nodejs.org) to take advantage of faster startup times at the cost of not always having 100% feature/behavior parity with the actual target platform.
+
+In some circumstances this is helpful but it can also result in hard to debug errors, particularly around resolving modules and loading them.
+
+Some developers also use Jest to test pure Node.js code which the benefit of familiarity but also has the same issues around transpilation.
+
+Adding [TypeScript](https://www.typescriptlang.org/) into the mix adds another layer of misdirection so the error messages are more cryptic than just running plain JS.
+
+```
+Cannot find module 'helia' from '../src/index.ts'
+
+Require stack:
+  /path/to/project/src/index.ts
+  index.spec.ts
+
+> 1 | import { createHelia } from 'helia'
+  2 | import type { Helia } from '@helia/interface'
+```
+
+In this example we are going to cover the config necessary to use Jest with TypeScript that compiles to ESM modules.
+
+### 1. TypeScript and ESM
+
+Please see the [helia-typescript](https://github.com/ipfs-examples/helia-typescript) example to ensure your application is building your TypeScript source to ESM correctly.
+
+At the very minimum you should check the compiled output of your application to ensure no calls to `require` are present and instead all modules are loaded via `import`.
+
+### 2. `ts-jest` Transform
+
+[ts-jest](https://www.npmjs.com/package/ts-jest) is a Jest transformer for your `.ts` source files that are under test.
+
+By default it will transpile code to [CommonJS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CommonJS) which is undesirable if your codebase is designed to be consumed as ESM.
+
+To get it to transform code to ESM, the [useESM](https://kulshekhar.github.io/ts-jest/docs/next/getting-started/options/useESM/) option must be set:
+
+**jest.config.json**
+
+```json
+{
+  "transform": {
+    "^.+\\.(t|j)s$": ["ts-jest", {
+      "useESM": true
+    }]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 3. `ts-jest` Presets
+
+By default `ts-jest` will not be able to load ES Modules:
+
+```
+FAIL  test/index.spec.ts
+ ● Test suite failed to run
+
+  Cannot find module 'helia' from '../src/index.ts'
+
+  Require stack:
+    /Users/alex/Documents/Workspaces/ipfs-examples/helia-examples/examples/helia-jest-typescript/src/index.ts
+    index.spec.ts
+
+  > 1 | import { createHelia } from 'helia'
+      | ^
+    2 | import type { Helia } from '@helia/interface'
+```
+
+To fix this it is necessary to tell Jest to use the `ts-jest` `default-esm` preset:
+
+**jest.config.json**
+
+```json
+{
+  "preset": "ts-jest/presets/default-esm"
+}
+```
+
+### 4. Importing other files from the same project
+
+When authoring ESM, [file extensions are mandatory](https://nodejs.org/api/esm.html#esm_mandatory_file_extensions), however `ts-jest` will not resolve (for example) `./index.ts` when importing `./index.js`:
+
+```
+Cannot find module '../src/index.js' from 'index.spec.ts'
+
+  at Resolver._throwModNotFoundError (../../../node_modules/jest-resolve/build/resolver.js:427:11)
+```
+
+The solution is to use a module name mapper to remove the file extension from relative imports and then Jest can fall back to it's version of the Node.js [require.resolve algorithm](https://nodejs.org/api/modules.html#all-together) which will locate `index.ts` from an `index.js` import:
+
+**jest.config.json**
+
+```json
+{
+  "moduleNameMapper": {
+    "^(\\.{1,2}/.*)\\.[jt]s$": "$1"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Putting it all together
+
+Your `jest.config.json` should look something like this:
+
+```json
+{
+  "moduleFileExtensions": [
+    "js",
+    "json",
+    "ts"
+  ],
+  "rootDir": "test",
+  "testRegex": ".*\\.spec\\.ts$",
+  "transform": {
+    "^.+\\.(t|j)s$": ["ts-jest", {
+      "useESM": true
+    }]
+  },
+  "preset": "ts-jest/presets/default-esm",
+  "moduleNameMapper": {
+    "^(\\.{1,2}/.*)\\.[jt]s$": "$1"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+We can now run the tests:
+
+```console
+% NODE_OPTIONS=--experimental-vm-modules jest
+
+ PASS  test/index.spec.ts (6.055 s)
+  Helia
+    libp2p
+      ✓ should have a peer id (519 ms)
+
+Test Suites: 1 passed, 1 total
+Tests:       1 passed, 1 total
+Snapshots:   0 total
+Time:        6.134 s
+Ran all test suites.
+```
+
+That's it! You just successfully ran a suite that can test your Helia application.

+    Jest encountered an unexpected token
+
+    Jest failed to parse a file. This happens e.g. when your code or its dependencies use non-standard JavaScript syntax, or when Jest is not configured to support such syntax.
+
+    Out of the box Jest supports Babel, which will be used to transform your files into valid JS based on your Babel configuration.
+
+    By default "node_modules" folder is ignored by transformers.
+```
+
+Jest transpiles code when it is loaded via the module system. Historically Node.js made it easy to hook into this system via `require` but with [ESM](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Guide/Modules) at the time of writing a flag to enable [vm-modules](https://nodejs.org/api/vm.html#class-vmmodule) needs to be passed to Node.js.
+
+## Putting it all together
+
+It's possible to run the Jest test in this module with `npm test`:
+
+```console
+% NODE_OPTIONS=--experimental-vm-modules jest
+
+ PASS  test/index.spec.ts (6.055 s)
+  Helia
+    libp2p
+      ✓ should have a peer id (519 ms)
+
+Test Suites: 1 passed, 1 total
+Tests:       1 passed, 1 total
+Snapshots:   0 total
+Time:        6.134 s
+Ran all test suites.
+```
+
+That's it! You just successfully ran a suite that can test your Helia application using Jest and ESM.
