Today, I’ll be elaborating on that with how we added Jest to the mix. Jest is a great library for testing JavaScript, and with ts-jest its a great library for testing TypeScript too. If we just wanted to test our TypeScript without external connections, running Jest directly on our dev machines would have been fine. https://blog.mezzode.com/posts/docker-and-typescript/ Sat, 27 Oct 2018 20:41:01 +1100 https://blog.mezzode.com/posts/docker-and-typescript/ TypeScript is a great language to develop in, giving developers the advantages of JavaScript while removing many of the downsides. However, when using TypeScript with Node.js and Docker it may not be obvious what the ideal setup for your project up is. My team and I ran into this when working on a project recently, but we found a setup that gave us the best of both TypeScript and Docker that I thought would be good to share. https://blog.mezzode.com/posts/reasonreact-storybook/ Fri, 05 Jan 2018 22:39:05 +1100 https://blog.mezzode.com/posts/reasonreact-storybook/ So today I finally decided it was a good time to try out Reason and ReasonReact, and I thought getting them working with Storybook would sure make playing with them a bit easier. Now, those familiar with the React ecosystem would no doubt be expecting fiddling with Webpack and loaders to get this to work. But as it turns out, it is actually quite straightforward to set up Storybook alongside ReasonReact.
