TypeScript + esbuild dev setup

This is a basic TypeScript and esbuild dev setup created with Esbuild Runner (esr) and Nodemon along with tests using in Jest. The development and test times are significantly faster when using esbuild as opposed to tsc.

This can be used to create a simple CLI or a full-fledged API.

Prerequisites

• Node 14 (LTS) or above
• yarn (recommended) or npm
• Setup using yarn or npm install

Commands

• yarn dev: Runs the server in development mode using esr and nodemon.

• yarn build: Builds the app using tsc.

• yarn check: Runs the TypeScript checker to check for any type errors.

• yarn test: Runs the tests using Jest.

• yarn start: Starts the built server (used in production).
