Minimal TypeScript

Bootstrap a minimal TypeScript setup.

npm i -y
mkdir src dist
npm i -D typescript ts-node @types/node
npm i -D mocha @types/mocha
npx tsc --init

In tsconfig.json set lib and target to ES2020, set outDir to ./dist and rootDir to ./src.

Add npm scripts

  "scripts": {
    "build": "tsc --build",
    "start": "node ./dist",
    "start:src": "ts-node ./src",
    "test": "mocha -r ts-node/register src/**/*.spec.ts -w --watch-files src"
  }

And you're off!
