TypeScript library setup takes longer than writing the library.
Want to publish a TypeScript npm package, but before you get to the fun part, you have to configure:
bundler to support ESM + CJS + types
package.json entries
linting and formatting
tests, CI, pre-commit hooks, sane editor defaults
npx command
tsconfig
script runner
For this, I made ts-hajime, using modern tools only:
Biome instead of ESLint + Prettier for linting and formatting
tsdown for dual ESM/CJS output and types
Vitest for tests
GitHub Actions for CI
Husky + lint-staged for pre-commit hooks
sane VSCode settings
sane tsconfig
npx template script and template code
tsx for running .ts script directly without compilation
Minimal yet essential setup, all preconfigured, all customizable.
You get everything in one command: npx ts-hajime
