TypeScript Starter Template

Welcome to the TypeScript Starter Template! This repository provides a solid foundation for starting your TypeScript projects with a powerful and modern development environment. It comes pre-configured with ESLint, Prettier, and Husky, allowing you to enforce coding standards and maintain consistent code formatting throughout your project.

Features

• TypeScript: A strict syntactical superset of JavaScript that adds optional static typing to the language.
• ESLint: A powerful and extensible linting tool for JavaScript and TypeScript that enforces code quality and best practices.
• Prettier: An opinionated code formatter that enforces a consistent code style across your project.
• Husky: A Git hooks manager that enables you to run tasks automatically during Git events, such as committing or pushing.

Getting Started

To start using this template, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/unitythemaker/ts-node-starter.git
   

2. Navigate to the project folder:

   cd ts-node-starter
   

3. Install dependencies:

   npm install
   

4. Start the development server:

   npm run dev
   

Available Scripts

In the project directory, you can run the following scripts:

• npm run dev: Starts the development server.
• npm run build: Compiles the TypeScript code into JavaScript.
• npm start: Runs the compiled JavaScript.
• npm run lint: Runs the ESLint linter to check for code quality issues.
• npm run format: Formats the code with Prettier.
• npm run test: Runs the test suite (Note: You will need to add a test runner and test files to your project).

Switching to Yarn or pnpm

If you prefer to use Yarn or pnpm as your package manager, you can easily switch from npm by following the steps below.

Switching to Yarn

1. Run the following command to generate a yarn.lock file and import the dependencies from package-lock.json:

   yarn import
   

2. Once this is done, you can safely remove the package-lock.json file and start using Yarn commands in place of npm commands. For example, instead of npm install, you would run yarn install.

Switching to pnpm

1. (Optional) Make sure you have a pnpm-workspace.yaml file if you're working with workspaces.

2. Run the following command to generate a pnpm-lock.yaml file and import the dependencies from package-lock.json:

   pnpm import
   

3. Once this is done, you can safely remove the package-lock.json file (or other lockfiles) and start using pnpm commands in place of npm commands. For example, instead of npm install, you would run pnpm install.

Configurations

This template comes with the following configurations:

• tsconfig.json: TypeScript configuration file.
• .eslintrc: ESLint configuration file, containing rules and extensions for TypeScript.
• .prettierrc: Prettier configuration file, specifying code formatting options.
