jest/no-large-snapshots Style

What it does

Disallow large snapshots.

Why is this bad?

When using Jest's snapshot capability one should be mindful of the size of created snapshots. As a general best practice snapshots should be limited in size in order to be more manageable and reviewable. A stored snapshot is only as good as its review and as such keeping it short, sweet, and readable is important to allow for thorough reviews.

Example
