How can i use AVA with jQuery ?

In my case,
i want to test a function which is in a file called app.ts (typescript file)

and i use $.ajax (jQuery API) in that function,

so AVA will want to ask me : what is the $ meaning ?????

Note that, i want to keep unit test simple, clear,

i use jQuery, but it is not meaning i also want to test DOM

NOW i just want to let jQuery work in AVA

How can do that ?

We don't have direct browser support yet.

There is a recipe for mocking the DOM here. Some preliminary work on a browser solution via karma (#942), and work on a full standalone browser test runner (#887).

How to access window in test file ?

Hi, @jamestalmage , thanks reply

I read article for mocking the DOM which u present

but i have no idea how can i access window object in my AVA test file ?

In Node, jQuery need window to initalize

like this var $ = jQuery = require('jquery')(window);

AVA must know $,
because it really execute that code,
that meaning, i must declare $ in test file,
then run all test

ok, i solve it,
i decide to use javascript instead of typescript,
it seems there is no need to use typescript in AVA now,
because i find the way to load typescript module directly in javascript

anyway, @jamestalmage thanks again
