jest options (setup)

const chai = require("chai");
const { jestSnapshotPlugin } = require("mocha-chai-jest-snapshot");

chai.use(
  jestSnapshotPlugin({

    snapshotSerializers: ["jest-serializer-vue"],
  })
);

jest options (package.json)

{
  "jest": {
    "rootDir": "../",
    "snapshotResolver": "<rootDir>/jest/snapshotResolver",
    "snapshotSerializers": ["jest-serializer-vue"]
  }
}

jest options (jest.config.js)

module.exports = {
  rootDir: "../",
  snapshotResolver: "<rootDir>/jest/snapshotResolver",
  snapshotSerializers: ["jest-serializer-vue"],
};

custom serializer

const chai = require("chai");
const {
  jestSnapshotPlugin,
  addSerializer,
} = require("mocha-chai-jest-snapshot");
const customSerializer = require("...");

chai.use(jestSnapshotPlugin());
addSerializer(customSerializer);

or

const { expect } = require("chai");
const customSerializer = require("...");

expect.addSnapshotSerializer(customSerializer);
