TypeScript Setup

Node/Express/TypeScript/Nodemon environment with TS-Node

Installation && Usage

git init

git clone https://github.com/johnbroaddusivccv/typescriptSetup.git

cd typescriptSetup/

Use the package manager npm to install the dependencies, which in this case is only express

I suggest installing TypeScript globally

npm install -g typescript

npm i

We also install TypeScript Locally in our Project, along with Dev Dependencies.

npm i -D typescript ts-node nodemon @types/node @types/express

if the following is not working for you after typescript is global installed

tsc --version

Install npx to get around it

npm i npx

npx tsc --version

Notice the build script is using npx to run tsc

"npx tsc -p ."
