Typescript React App (TGRStack)

About

This starter kit is a launching point for TS React module development. Running the build script compiles src/ into a build that is ready to be deployed to a server. This module is part of a collection of uniformly built starter-kits designed for large-scale application development with TypeScript, GraphQL, and React. Find these, articles, and examplse at www.TGRStack.com. Skip to the bottom for links to a series of tutorials that walkthrough the creation of this module.

Getting started

To use the starter-kit to build your own ts-module run these commands:

git clone https://github.com/Falieson/2018-typescript-module.git my-project
cd my-project
rm -rf .git && git init
git commit -m "INIT'd w/ Falieson's 2018-typescript-module@SHA4985"
npm install
nps test
nps

Open package.json and reset following fields:

- name
- version ( It is recommended to start from 1.0.0 )
- description
- main ( "umd/typescript-lib-starter.js" => "umd/{name}.js" )
- repository.url

- license ( use whatever you want )

Now go make some changes to src/index.ts to see the tooling in action.
