    Tests with jest and mongodb

    Includes much more code, other than the actual implementation, creating the extra mocks. It's clear in the complete example that mocks are more lines of code than the actual UserService.

  • mongodb-memory-server

    Spinning up mongod in memory for fast tests. If you run tests in parallel this lib helps to spin up dedicated mongodb servers for every test file in MacOS, *nix, Windows or CI environments (in most cases with zero-config).

    The final method tries to combine both methods, 1 and 2. It uses an external package MongoDB In-Memory Server for our MongoDB.

    Here comes Docker and Docker Compose. I am not going to spend much time explaining Docker, but if you want I can write a separate blog about it.
