+By combining `defaultResolver` and `packageFilter` we can implement a `package.json` "pre-processor" that allows us to change how the default resolver will resolve modules. For example, imagine we want to use the field `"module"` if it is present, otherwise fallback to `"main"`:
+
+```json
+{
+  ...
+  "jest": {
+    "resolver": "my-module-resolve"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+```js
+// my-module-resolve package
+
+module.exports = (request, options) => {
+  // Call the defaultResolver, so we leverage its cache, error handling, etc.
+  return options.defaultResolver(request, {
+    ...options,
+    // Use packageFilter to process parsed `package.json` before the resolution (see https://www.npmjs.com/package/resolve#resolveid-opts-cb)
