Hey,
Tech Stack - NextJS 16, Typescript, Prisma 7, Postgres, Zod 4, RHF, Tailwindcss, ShadCN, Better-Auth, Resend, Vercel
So I'm self-studying programming, and I'm building a project to show on my cv.
I have a project that I'm building - eSports data for tournaments, matches and even predictions.
I have a side-project, with Nodejs and Playwright library, to scrape data from another website.
Now, I have to study and do tests.
I know Vitest is coming from Vite, but I'm using Next default bundler/compiler(?) - which is turbopack(?)
What should I pick, and why?
My thoughts - I should choose Jest because:
I already learn Playwright (the library only, for using chromium), so I'm going to use the Playwright E2E
Because I did not start with Vite
