TS-Template

This is a simple template for my projects to have the same starting point on most, if not all, of my projects.

'Features'

  • TypeScript first
  • Configured for the latest Node LTS release or sometimes a newer version not being LTS (Can be easily changed in packages.json and tsconfig.json
  • Jest for testing
  • Simple example code with test coverage

Initial setup

  1. I recommend running npm update first (and probably npm outdated too)
  2. Edit the initial package.json file to your liking
    • You probably want to pay additional attention to the author and private section of it
    • Don't forget to switch the docker container and image names used in the docker: scripts
  3. Update the LICENSE-file to your liking - You don't have to comply with it, I'm just commonly using that one
  4. You might want to remove the use of snyk - It is used as a dev dependency to easily scan for known vulnerabilities

How to I change the Node.js version used in this template

This template used @tsconfig/node{{nodeVersion}} and makes use of the engines directive in the package.json. So you'd want to change the @tsconfig dependency to the version you would want to use (e.g. 14 or 16) and edit the tsconfig.json file to point to that version.

You might need to make additional adjustments to my tsconfig.json (and tests/tsconfig.json) as I might be overwriting some settings that are suboptimal for other version of node. If you are not sure, stick to the configuration provided by @tsconfig.

License

This repository contains a LICENSE-file, but it is part of the template. The template itself is not licensed by me! If you use this template, just pick the license you prefer.
