create-typescript-starter

This is an opinionated starter project for creating a TypeScript project. It works as other crete-* projects, but it is focused on TypeScript.

How to use

To create a project based on this starter, you can run one of the following commands:

pnpm create @c3s4/typescript-starter

or

yarn create @c3s4/typescript-starter

or

npm create @c3s4/typescript-starter

Choices I made

• Use tsx as Typescript executor, instead of ts-node, because it is more powerful and has better support for TypeScript features.

• Use vitest as testing platform.

• Use my eslint and prettier configurations. You caon obviously change them anytime, after the project is created.

• Prepare the project to be build as cjs and esm modules.

• Use differente tsconfig files to configure different types of builds.

TODO

• Use tsup as bundler to build the project. This will solve the problem related to the cjs and esm modules. But causes to have only one bundle.

• Ask if you want the project to be a library or an application. This will change the tsconfig.json and the package.json scripts.
