How to write a Jest configuration file

Question

I am trying to pass along a configuration file to Jest in order to run tests only from a given directory.

According to documentation, you can use config.testPathDi

Seems to me you can configure jest directly within your package.json, see https://github.com/shidhincr/react-jest-gulp-jspm-seed/blob/master/package.json.
