Typescript Starter Kit: get up and running quickly!

As much as I love Typescript, I often find myself just using plain JavaScript for small projects because all the overhead of getting a Typescript environment setup just doesn't seem worth it.

Well, no more! I've put together a Typescript Starter Kit to make it infinitely easier to get new Typescript projects running.

Typescript project starter that includes testing, linting, and changelogs, and is ready for publishing to npm

Features

  • A GitHub template to easily create your own remote repo based off of this one
  • Full step-by-step setup instructions in the README
  • All necessary dependencies built in and ready to go
  • Typescript config and matching file structure prepared so you can get right to coding
  • Ready for publishing to npm, with files properly included/excluded by default
  • Easy versioning, coupled to publishing to npm
  • Test suite template ready to populate
  • Test commands for VSCode built-in
  • Command line interface template for creating CLI tools

I hope this template helps you as much as it's going to help me!
