How to import JSON file on Jest tests?

by

As decribed here: is there a require for json in node.js you can use: 

import someObject from ('./somefile.json')

This should also work: 

const testObject = require('../config/object');

However, while i was using jest for testing i got it working by saving the json with .js extension and inside it using module.exports. Then i destructured the object in my main file.

  • JSON file (object.js):

    module.exports = {
  "testObject":
  {
      "name": testName
      "surname": testSurname
  }
}

  • Main File

    const { testObject } = require('./config/object');
