The most basic TypeScript starter I could think of

simple-typescript-starter's Issues

Thanks for the good writing.

I saw your blog. https://khalilstemmler.com/blogs/typescript/node-starter-project/

I am currently distributing TypeScript Express Starter as open source. However, I was solving a lint-related problem, and it seems to be a good resource.

We look forward to your good writing. :-D

Should ALWAYS gitignore node_modules

Please add a VS Code debug file

Here is a VS Code Debug file in .vscode folder (${workspaceFolder}/.vscode or root dir + .vscode dir, or simple-typescript-starter-master/.vscode):

{
    // Use IntelliSense to learn about possible attributes.
    // Hover to view descriptions of existing attributes.
    // For more information, visit: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=830387
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "type": "node",
            "request": "launch",
            "name": "Launch Program",
            "program": "${workspaceFolder}/src/index.ts", // our main file
            "sourceMaps": true,
            "preLaunchTask": "npm: build",
            "outFiles": [
                "${workspaceFolder}/build/index.js"
            ]
        }
    ]
}

This works for Console.log(""), but try it for:

import fs from 'fs';

const text = fs.readFileSync("README.md", "utf8");
console.log(text);

and it will fail with

C:\Program Files\nodejs\node.exe .\src\index.ts
Debugger attached.
Waiting for the debugger to disconnect...
...\simple-typescript-starter-master\src\index.ts:1
import fs from 'fs';
^^^^^^

SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module
    at wrapSafe (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:1072:16)

I am not a TS, Node and tricks person, but please add such a correct file, I would appreciate it.

Add best practices around importing packages (npm).

Would be nice to have an example of how to import an external package through npm.

missing testing aspect

Hola Khalil, first of all, thank you for your nice starter repo 👍!

Have you considered enhancing your repo with information about testing?

"unsubscribe" a error message

...sorry, false project... ;-)

Google Chrome DevTools

Hello ;)
I am trying to run source code using Google DevTools but have not been successful.

In package.json
"scripts": { "start:dev": "npx nodemon --inspect=127.0.0.1:9229 src/index.ts" }

Any help?

Add a basic eslint config

Just a useful tool to have

VS code launch points to wrong folder

Currently https://github.com/stemmlerjs/simple-typescript-starter/blob/master/.vscode/launch.json file is pointing to "${workspaceFolder}/dist/**/*.js" but the ts is being compiled into build folder. This results in error when debugging the code containing imports
