create-node-ts

create-node-ts is a project generator for creating Node.js applications with TypeScript. It sets up a new project with a basic structure and some default configuration, including Jest for testing, Prettier for code formatting, and Husky for Git hooks.

Installation

You don't need to install create-node-ts to use it. Instead, you can use npx:

npx @marchintosh94/create-node-ts

This will run create-node-ts and start the process of setting up a new project.

Usage

When you run create-node-ts, it will prompt you for some information about your project:

• Project name: The name of your new project.

After you've provided this information, create-node-ts will create a new directory (if you choose to create it) with your project name, set up the project structure, and install the dependencies.

The generated project includes the following files and directories:

• src: This directory is where your TypeScript source code goes.
• package.json: This file contains the metadata about your project and its dependencies.
• tsconfig.json: This file is the TypeScript compiler configuration.
• jest.config.ts: This file is the Jest configuration.
• .gitignore: This file tells Git which files to ignore.
• .prettierrc and .prettierignore: These files are the Prettier configuration. In addition, create-node-ts initializes a Git repository in your project directory and sets up Husky to run tests and linting before each commit.
