## Why **jest-preview**

When writing tests using Jest, we usually debug by reading the HTML code. Sometimes, the HTML is too complicated to visualize the UI in our head. `jest-preview` previews your Jest tests right in a browser, then you can see your actual UI visually, which helps you write and debug Jest tests faster.

`jest-preview` is initially designed to work with [Jest](https://jestjs.io/) and [react-testing-library](https://testing-library.com/docs/react-testing-library/intro/). The package is framework-agnostic, and you can use it with any frontend frameworks and testing libraries. For examples:

- [Vite React](https://www.jest-preview.com/docs/examples/vite-react)
- [Create React App](https://www.jest-preview.com/docs/examples/create-react-app)
- [Nextjs](https://www.jest-preview.com/docs/examples/nextjs)
- [Svelte](https://www.jest-preview.com/docs/examples/svelte)
- [Angular](https://www.jest-preview.com/docs/examples/angular)
- [Vue](https://www.jest-preview.com/docs/examples/vue)

## Features

- 👀 Preview your actual app's HTML in a browser in milliseconds.
- 🔄 Auto reload browser when executing `preview.`debug()`.
- 💅 Support CSS:
- ✅ [Direct CSS import](#3-configure-jests-transform-to-intercept-css-and-files)

- ✅ [Styled-components](https://styled-components.com/)

- ✅ [Global CSS](https://www.jest-preview.com/docs/getting-started/installation#4-optional-configure-global-css)
- ✅ [CSS Modules](https://github.com/css-modules/css-modules)
- ✅ [Sass](https://sass-lang.com/)
- 🌄 Support viewing images.
