jest-extended enhances the Jest testing framework with a rich set of custom matchers. These matchers extend Jest's built-in assertions to offer more expressive and intuitive ways to test your code's behavior. Examples include matchers for testing array contents, date comparisons, string inclusion details, and object properties. This library simplifies writing comprehensive and readable tests, ultimately saving time and boosting developer confidence in code quality and reliability within Jest projects.
Jest-extended's release frequency is erratic. It started with multiple releases per month in 2017/2018, followed by long periods of inactivity. 2021 saw a resurgence with versions 1.x.x, then 2022 with 2.x.x and 3.x.x. In 2023 we can see the version 4.x.x. Then, in May and June 2025 we saw the release of 4 versions in May(5.x.x) and the release of version 6.0.0 in June. There are no releases for July, August and September 2025.
