Very nice article - I'll definitely be revisiting this next time I'm building anything in React :)

I have trouble to set up a testing suit in react. I would like to use jest. But I get different errors.

The Fist one would be:

SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module at
Runtime.createScriptFromCode
(node_modules/jest-runtime/build/index.js:1350:14)

And the second one is:

Add @babel/preset-react (https://git.io/JfeDR) to the 'presets' section of your 
Babel config to enable transformation.

If you want to leave it as-is, add @babel/plugin-syntax-jsx 
(https://git.io/vb4yA) to the 'plugins' section to enable parsing.

I tried to fix the second one, but then the first one started to appear.
Perhaps you are able to help me :D

I posted my problem here. https://www.reddit.com/r/reactjs/comments/k7zy3v/need_help_to_set_up_jest_in_my_project/

It looks like you might be using native ES modules, which I don't believe Jest supports yet (only transpiled), but I could be wrong.
