How to properly set up Jasmine Unit testing?

Question

JavaScript

Hello! I just started testing using Jasmine and ran into a situation: how to test information and books in bulk, but I didn’t fully figure out how to connect it correctly.
On the example of my test project:

src /
----/ backend
----/ frontend

As indicated in the Jasmine docs, I set it globally, then I initialize the directory:
jasmine init in the frontend folder, since I decided to start from it.
I get the spec folder, in which I actually create the test file, for example, test.spec.js.
Actually I understand that dependencies are still needed to be registered, but where it is not clear.
Help plz who can.

First, boot.js or node_boot.js is loaded - all methods of the jasmine interface are written there in window or global. Like like this

'use strict';

var jasmineRequire = require('jasmine-core/lib/jasmine-core/jasmine');

var jasmine = jasmineRequire.core(jasmineRequire);
window.jasmine = jasmine;

jasmine.DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_INTERVAL = 1000;

var env = jasmine.getEnv();
var jasmineInterface = jasmineRequire.interface(jasmine, env);

function extend(destination, source) {
  for (var property in source) {
      destination[property] = source[property];
  }

  return destination;
}

extend(window, jasmineInterface);

Then comes the addition of a reporter, well, or you can write your own, for specific tasks ...
Initialization under node.js differs only in ConsoleReporter, in the browser one HtmlReporter is used.
After initialization, window / global already has all it describe expect junk, and you can write specs,
to run them it’s just done
There is a “convenient” wrapper for the lazy for the node separately ...
If you look at the source codes , then in principle it should be clear from the main methods

showColors - отображать ли разноцветные сообщения, форточки не умеют
addSpecFile - добавить файлик спеки
addReporter - добавить репортер
configureDefaultReporter, он же ConsoleReporter
addMatchers не помню
loadSpecs - просто require спеков
loadHelpers - просто require хэлперов
loadConfigFile - загрузка конфига
loadConfig - загрузка конфига с объекта
addSpecFiles - добавить кучу файлов спек
onComplete - вызвать callback по завершению
stopSpecOnExpectationFailure - прервать выполнение тестов если возникает исключение

Basically

var Jasmine = require('jasmine');
var jasmine = new Jasmine();

jasmine.loadConfig({
    spec_dir: 'tests',
    spec_files: [
        'requests/**/*.js'
    ],
});

// или jasmine.loadConfigFile('spec/support/jasmine.json');

jasmine.configureDefaultReporter({
    showColors: false // если это форточки
});

jasmine.execute();

To run tests in node.js will be enough.
