How to run a git pre-commit hook to enforce that test coverage for the staged files doesn't decrease?

Question

I am using jest and istanbul in my ReactJS project to write test cases and check on the test coverage.

How do I ensure using a pre-commit hook that test coverage for any file, that I have staged to git, doesn't decrease from its current value before its committed?

You should check coverageThreshold documentation of jest from here

Below options are possible for global coverage threshold and file name pattern thresholds.

{
  ...
  "jest": {
    "coverageThreshold": {
      "global": {
        "branches": 50,
        "functions": 50,
        "lines": 50,
        "statements": 50
      },
      "./src/components/": {
        "branches": 40,
        "statements": 40
      },
      "./src/reducers/**/*.js": {
        "statements": 90
      },
      "./src/api/very-important-module.js": {
        "branches": 100,
        "functions": 100,
        "lines": 100,
        "statements": 100
      }
    }
  }
}

You can combine this with lint staged and husky to make the check in pre-commit.

In the end, your package.json would look like this:

{
  ...package.json
  "husky": {
    "hooks": {
      "pre-commit": "jest",
    }
  }
}

I only want to ensure that with every commit the test coverage doesn't decrease for the staged file.How do I do this without actually defining any fixed threshold? – Primarily
