Typescript Starter

Posted on Feb 5, 2023

If you work with Node.js or TypeScript, you may have your own initial setup for development. I have worked on several Node projects with TypeScript, and over time I developed my own project starter, or template. I gathered the functionality I commonly use, turned it into a project, and published it on GitHub.

Of course, there is a similar project maintained by Microsoft, but it has too many features. I built my starter with only the level of features that I wanted, and I think it would be useful for other developers who like a minimal TypeScript starter.

The following packages are ready to use, and a simple web service is also included:

Express.js
ESLint
Mocha
Chai
Prettier
TypeORM
MongoDB
Docker

In addition, it makes it easy to debug and run your project with Visual Studio Code.
