mocha.js - How to import "describe" and "it" from mocha in TypeScript?

Question

By default, when importing mocha in TypeScript, it brings in describe and it (and some others) into the global namespace.

Is there a way to bring in specific imports like import {describe, it} from 'mocha'?

Answer 1

Install mocha and its types:

npm install mocha --save-dev
npm install @types/mocha --save-dev

Then, simply import mocha in your test files:

import 'mocha';

describe('my test', () => {
  it('does something', () => {
    // your test
  });
});
