typescript-manual-starter

Boilerplate for manually setting up a NodeJS project that uses TypeScript.

TypeScript code is run directly without waiting for it to be compiled using ts-node and changes are watched by nodemon.

Run project for local development

We have 2 options. Hot realoding while executing TypeScript directly is supported in both cases:

1. ts-node runs TypeScript directly while nodemon watches for changes

npm run start:dev

2. ts-node-dev runs TypeScript directly.

npm run start:ts-dev

Build for production

Clean the destination build folder build and emit new code.

npm run build

Production Startup Command

This will clean the build folder, compile the code to JS for production and run the Javascript compiled from TypeScript.

npm run start
