Please see: https://github.com/microsoft/nodejstools/issues/2317
Once the change is perform in NodeJSTools, project templates in this repository should be updated.

Research direction
This issue depends on a change in the nodejstools repository (see linked issue). Once that is resolved, the React SPA templates in dotnet/aspnetcore need to be updated to include Jest unit test support. Look at the existing template files in the project, likely under src/ProjectTemplates, and follow the guidelines from the Microsoft unit testing documentation. Ensure that the templates generate a valid Jest configuration and test files that work out of the box.
