Typescript Webpack Starter

A damn simple ES6 and Typescript Starter kit using webpack for packaging. Perfect for bootstraping your javascript project regardless any framework.

Built upon

• Webpack 3
• Typescript 2
• Webpack Dashboard

Getting started

Clone Typescript Webpack Starter

git clone https://github.com/emyann/typescript-webpack-starter.git
cd typescript-webpack-starter
# Install the dependencies
npm install

Run

Start a Webpack dev server

npm start

And go to this URL: http://localhost:3000 - 🎉

Start a Webpack server with the production configuration

npm run server:prod

Build Only

Build a development release

npm run build

Build a production release

npm run build:prod

After build phase, 3 files are generated into the dist folder:

• app.bundle.js - contains the core of the application. From the entry point src/index.ts
• vendor.bundle.js - contains the vendor dependencies
• main.html - html page with references to the 2 files above

TODO

• Setup a webpack common configuration and use webpack-merge
• create-ts-app or create-typescript-app CLI instead of cloning the entire repository
