hexagon VS jest

Hexagon is a Microservices Toolkit that aims to provide all you need to develop applications that run on Cloud environments.

Ktor is a project that's not primarily focused on application performance but developer performance. It seems to be sth different than what you want to achieve. I don't think a lot frameworks... or any other framework writes its own low level io stuff from scratch, they mostly use https://netty.io/ because there's not too much room for improvement and it's complete, battle tested and so on. I lately came across https://github.com/hexagonkt/hexagon which seems to have a very solid code base based on modules modules modules, is kotlin first and they have an adapter for netty. The usage of the naked http server seems to be as easy as it can be https://hexagonkt.com/port_http_server/port_http_server/ and they are even listed on techempower benchmarks https://github.com/hexagonkt/hexagon/ .

Jest

you have selected a testing framework. In my case, it's Jest with Supertest

Jest, created and maintained by Facebook, is a JavaScript testing framework with a focus on simplicity. It is often recognized for its zero-configuration setup and seamless integration, especially with React applications, making it a favored choice for developers in both small-scale projects and large enterprise applications.

Jest (https://jestjs.io/)

console.error 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. Here's what you can do: • If you are trying to use ECMAScript Modules, see https://jestjs.io/docs/ecmascript-modules for how to enable it. • If you are trying to use TypeScript, see https://jestjs.io/docs/getting-started#using-typescript • To have some of your "node\_modules" files transformed, you can specify a custom "transformIgnorePatterns" in your config. • If you need a custom transformation specify a "transform" option in your config. • If you simply want to mock your non-JS modules (e.g. binary assets) you can stub them out with the "moduleNameMapper" config option. You'll find more details and examples of these config options in the docs: https://jestjs.io/docs/configuration For information about custom transformations, see: https://jestjs.io/docs/code-transformation

Note: I will be using Jest as testing framework throughout the examples.

We use Jest Framework for testing. Jest is not a dogma, and, of course, in its place can be any other test runner, such as Mocha or Ava. Let's focus on tests. I'll provide a short example because I don’t want to waste your time. You can find the full version here. It's crucial to read the comments in the code below. Let's go!

Jest has long been my favorite got to test runner when it comes to UI unit and integration testing. With tools like React Testing Library (Testing Library framework for React) you get the benefit of very easy to write and maintain tests, as well as a quick and efficient way to run our tests.

Jest is a well-regarded JavaScript testing framework primarily designed for React applications, although its utility extends to projects using Babel, JavaScript, Node, Angular, and Vue. Created by Facebook, Jest emphasizes ensuring the correctness of JavaScript codebases. It allows developers to write tests with a familiar, feature-rich API, making the testing process swift and enjoyable​​.
