ts-build-tools

A command-line toolkit to manage a Node.js package written in TypeScript.

Includes build, clean, lint, test, dev, and prepublish scripts out-of-the box.

Intended to work with zmey-gorynych, a Node.js package versioning and publishing tool.

Usage

Initialize a new Node.js package and install the toolkit with npm:

cd your-package
npm init -y
npm i -D @sompylasar/ts-build-tools

or with yarn:

cd your-package
yarn init -y
yarn add --dev @sompylasar/ts-build-tools

Commands

init

Scaffold the package file structure and update the package.json to include the necessary file references, dependencies, and scripts.

build

Produce JavaScript in the lib directory via tsc.

clean

Removes the lib and coverage directories.

lint

Runs tslint.

test

Run the tests via nyc, mocha, and ts-node.

dev

Run the application in the source code watch and hot reload mode via tsc --watch.

Known limitations

• The toolkit in some aspects relies on the node_modules structure, so it may not work with node_modules-less setups like Yarn PnP and NPM Tink.
