We talk about a lot of advanced Node.js and TypeScript concepts on the blog, particularly focused around Domain-Driven Design and large-scale enterprise application patterns. However, I received a few emails from readers that were interested in seeing what a basic TypeScript starter project looks like. So I've put together just that.
- Minimal
- TypeScript v4
- Testing with Jest
- Linting with Eslint and Prettier
- Pre-commit hooks with Husky
- VS Code debugger scripts
- Local development with Nodemon
Starts the application in development using nodemon and ts-node to do hot reloading.
Starts the app in production by first building the project with npm run build, and then executing the compiled JavaScript at build/index.js.
Builds the app at build, cleaning the folder first.
Runs the jest tests once.
Run the jest tests in watch mode, waiting for file changes.
Format your code.
