Initialize project and import the imports
Create a directory for your project and cd into it.
Use NPM to initialize the project npm init -y.
Import dependencies npm i express.
Import dev-dependencies npm i --save-dev typescript supertest nodemon jest ts-jest ts-node @types/node @types/jest @types/supertest.


Initialize TypeScript
Now let's add TypeScript to our project.
npx tsc --init
The above command will generate a tsconfig.json file.

Up next, we want to add the Jest testing framework to our project.
npx ts-jest config:init
The above command will generate a jest.config.js file. You'll want to modify it with the below, so it works with ts-jest (this is what makes jest work with TypeScript).
