Supertest: Add ES6 support

[rkmax]

[harry-gao]

what I did is create a test_helper.js:

import sinon from 'sinon'
import chai from 'chai'
import sinonChai from 'sinon-chai'
var expect = chai.expect
chai.use(sinonChai)

var supertest = require("supertest");

module.exports = {
  sinon: sinon,
  chai: chai,
  expect: expect,
  supertest: supertest
} 

Then in your testing file:

import {sinon, chai, expect, supertest} from '../test_helper'

why this has been closed?

I was able to use it with import * as request from 'supertest'; but with the ts esModuleInterop to true import request from 'supertest'; does not work, giving TypeError: request is not a function.

For now I'm doing import * as request = require('supertest'); so I get also the type definitions
