Basic Node.js app with Typescript

This boilerplate was created for the blog post How to create a Node.js App with TypeScript?

The setup contains

• Typescript configuration for a Node.js app
• Node dev. setup with source file watching
• Prettier for formatting your code
• TSlint for linting
• Jest for unit testing

Usage

1. Clone the repo. to a folder name of your choice
2. Remove .git folder (to remove git history)
3. Run git init and add your new remote
4. yarn start and start coding by modifying ./src/index.ts

Possible improvements to the boilerplate

• Add Husky and Pretty-quick to run Prettier as pre-commit hook
• Add a basic Node.js app as an example instead of the console.log
• Use that example for an unit test
