Minimalistic boilerplate to jump-start a Node.js project in TypeScript 2.6.
Provides a basic template, "batteries included":
- TypeScript 2.6 to ES6 transpilation,
- TSLint 5.x with Microsoft recommended rules,
- Jest unit testing and code coverage,
- Type definitions for Node.js v8.x and Jest,
- NPM scripts for common operations,
- a simple example of TypeScript code and unit test,
- .editorconfig for consistent file format.
This project is intended to be used with v8.9 (LTS Carbon) release of Node.js or newer and NPM. Make sure you have those installed. Then just type following commands:
git clone https://github.com/dima1034/node-express-typescript-boilerplate
cd node-express-typescript-boilerplate
npm install
Now start adding your code in the src
and unit tests in the tests
directories. Have fun and build amazing things ๐
Writing unit tests in TypeScript can sometimes be troublesome and confusing. Especially when mocking dependencies and using spies.
This is optional, but if you want to learn how to write JavaScript tests for TypeScript modules, read the [corresponding wiki page][wiki-js-tests].
